Written and directed by [[Andrew Stanton]], it tells the story of the overprotective clownfish named Marlin who, along with a regal tang named Dory, searches for his abducted son Nemo all the way to Sydney Harbour. Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and let Nemo take care of himself. |
||
| + | Originally released on May 30, 2003, the film was eventually re-released in 3D on September 14, 2012, and it was released on Blu-ray on December 4, 2012. The film received widespread critical acclaim, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and was nominated in three more categories including Best Original Screenplay. It was the second highest-grossing film of 2003, earning a total of $936 million worldwide. ''Finding Nemo'' is the best-selling DVD of all time, with over 40 million copies sold as of 2006, and was the highest-grossing G-rated film of all time before Pixar's own ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' overtook it. It is the 31st highest-grossing film of all time, as well as the 5th highest-grossing animated film. In 2008, the American Film Institute named it the 10th greatest animated film ever made as part of their 10 Top 10 lists. A sequel, ''[[Finding Dory]]'', is in production, set to be released on June 17, 2016. |

==Plot== |
==Plot== |
||
| + | Two ocellaris clownfish, Marlin and his wife Coral, admire their new home in the Great Barrier Reef and their clutch of eggs when a barracuda attacks, knocking Marlin unconscious. He wakes up to find that Coral and all but one of the eggs have disappeared. Marlin names this last egg Nemo, a name that Coral liked. |
||
| − | <!-- Please see TALK page before reverting this section! --> |
||
| − | {{spoiler}} |
||
| + | Nemo develops a smaller right fin as a result of damage to his egg during the attack, which limits his swimming ability. Worried about Nemo's safety, Marlin embarrasses Nemo during a school field trip. Nemo sneaks away from the reef and is captured by scuba divers. As the boat departs, a diver accidentally knocks his diving mask overboard. While attempting to save Nemo, Marlin meets Dory, a good-hearted and optimistic regal blue tang with short-term memory loss. Marlin and Dory meet three sharks – Bruce, Anchor and Chum – who are trying to make friends with fish in an old minefield. Marlin discovers the diver's mask and notices an address written on it. When he argues with Dory and accidentally gives her a nosebleed, the blood scent causes Bruce to enter an uncontrollable feeding frenzy. The pair escape from Bruce but the mask falls into a trench in the deep sea. |
||
| − | The title character, Nemo (voice by [[Alexander Gould]]), is a [[clownfish]] who is smothered by his overprotective father, a widower named Marlin ([[Albert Brooks]]). When Nemo tries to prove that he doesn't need all this protection, he is captured by a human diver at the edge of the [[Great Barrier Reef]]. Marlin desperately swims after the diver's boat into the open ocean but he quickly falls behind. Afraid that he is about to lose his son forever, Marlin asks for help from a number of fish before finally finding one who knows where the boat went: [[Dory (Finding Nemo)|Dory]] ([[Ellen DeGeneres]]), a [[Paracanthurus hepatus|blue tang]] who is suffering from [[anterograde amnesia|short-term memory loss]]. While young Nemo finds himself in an aquarium in a dentist's office filled with an unusual assortment of sea-creatures bent on escape, Marlin and Dory race to Nemo's rescue, meeting many different types of fish, several sharks, and even a group of sea turtles in the East-Australian Current. After a number of misadventures for both groups, Marlin and Nemo are finally reunited. |
||
| + | During a hazardous struggle with an anglerfish in the trench, Dory sees the diving mask and reads the address located in Sydney, Australia. The pair swim on, receiving directions to Sydney from a school of moonfish. Marlin and Dory encounter a bloom of jellyfish that nearly kills them. Marlin loses consciousness and wakes up on a sea turtle named Crush, who takes Marlin and Dory on the East Australian Current. Marlin tells the details of his long journey with a group of sea turtles, and his story is spread across the ocean. He also sees how Crush gets on well with his son Squirt. |
||
| − | {{endspoiler}} |
||
| + | Meanwhile, Nemo is placed in a fish tank in the office of a dentist named Philip Sherman on Sydney Harbour. He meets aquarium fish called the Tank Gang, led by a moorish idol named Gill, who has a broken fin. The Tank Gang includes Bloat, a puffer fish; Bubbles, a yellow tang; Peach, an ochre starfish; Gurgle, a royal gramma; Jacques, a pacific cleaner shrimp; and Deb, a blacktailed humbug. |
||
| − | ==Box office== |
||
| + | The fish learn that Nemo is to be given to Sherman's niece, Darla, who killed a fish by constantly shaking its bag. Gill then reveals his plan to escape, jamming the tank's filter, forcing the dentist to remove the fish to clean it. The fish would be placed in plastic bags, and then they would shot out the window and into the harbor. After an attempt at the escape goes wrong, a brown pelican, Nigel, brings news of Marlin's adventure. Inspired by his father's determination, Nemo gracefully jams the filter, but the dentist installs a new high-tech filter before they can escape. |
||
| + | After leaving the East Australian Current, Marlin and Dory are engulfed by a blue whale. Inside the whale's mouth, Dory communicates with the whale, which carries them to Port Jackson and expels them through his blowhole. They meet Nigel, who recognizes Marlin from the stories he has heard, and he takes them to Sherman's office. Darla has just arrived and the dentist is handing Nemo to her. Nemo plays dead to save himself as Nigel arrives. Marlin sees Nemo and believes he is dead before Nigel is thrown out. In despair, Marlin leaves Dory and begins to swim home. Gill then helps Nemo escape into a drain that leads to the ocean. Dory loses her memory and becomes confused, and meets Nemo, who reached the ocean. Eventually, Dory's memory returns after she reads the word "Sydney" on a drainpipe. She directs Nemo to Marlin and they reunite, but then Dory is caught in a fishing net with a school of grouper. Nemo enters the net and orders the group to swim downward to break the net, enabling them to escape. After returning home, Nemo leaves for school, with Crush's son Squirt, and Marlin, no longer overprotective, proudly watches Nemo swim away with Dory at his side. |
||
| − | ''Finding Nemo'' set a record as the highest grossing opening weekend for an animated feature, making $70 million (surpassed in [[2004 in film|2004]] by ''[[Shrek 2]]''). It was, for a time, the highest grossing animated film of all time, eclipsing the record set by ''[[The Lion King]]''. However, in less than four weeks of release, ''[[Shrek 2]]'' surpassed ''Finding Nemo'''s domestic gross. By March 2004, ''Finding Nemo'' was one of the top ten [[list of highest-grossing films|highest-grossing films]] ever, having earned over $850 million US. |
||
| + | At the dentist's office, the high-tech filter breaks down and the Tank Gang escapes into the harbor, belatedly realizing they are still confined in plastic bags. |

| − | At the same time, the film had a central theme that "all drains lead back to the [[ocean]]." (A main character escapes from imprisonment by going down a sink drain and ending up in the sea.) This allegedly caused many children to flush their living fish down toilets in imitation of the picture. Major sewage companies teamed with Disney to release press statements that attempted to address the situation with humor. "Although all drains DO lead to water," they read, "water always passes through a turbine before leading to the ocean."{{fact}} Of course, in the case of [[Sydney]], much of the sewer system does pass directly to outfall pipes deep offshore, without a high level of treatment (although pumping and some filtering occurs).<ref>{{cite web |

The [[Silver Gull]] common in the region has a red bill (not the yellow bills of the gulls in the film); Nigel and Gerald are given the coloration of a [[Brown Pelican]] with an orange bill, but the actual [[Australian Pelican]] is black and white with a pink bill. |
||
| − | * The address of the dentist's clinic is given as being in [[Circular Quay]], [[Sydney]], which is on the southern shore of [[Sydney Harbour]]. However, the view from the window (towards the [[Sydney Opera House]] and [[Sydney Harbour Bridge]]) would instead place it on the northern shore, near [[Kirribilli, New South Wales|Kirribilli]]. |

| − | ==Sequel== |
||
| − | Since the great box office response to ''Finding Nemo'' in 2003 there have been rumors about a sequel. Now that Disney has purchased Pixar, there will likely be additional pressure from Disney for a ''Finding Nemo 2;'' however, one aspect of the merger agreement was that Pixar would be given back the rights to determine which of the Disney/Pixar films released to date would be made into a sequel. Pixar would also be tasked with creative responsibilty and control for the making of any and all sequels. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Circle 7 Animation, an in-house CGI production house started at Disney largely to create Disney sequels to Pixar movies, was disbanded shortly after the merger was announced. No substantive information is available as of October 2006. [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/film/feature_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002651181] |

||
| − | |||
| − | ==Cultural references== |
||
| − | ===In ''Finding Nemo''=== |
||
| − | As usual with Pixar movies, ''Finding Nemo'' has many subtle references and sight gags. <!--e.g.???--> |
||
| − | * The title character's name alludes to [[Captain Nemo]], the submarine captain in two of [[Jules Verne]]'s novels: ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' (which was also released by Walt Disney in [[1954]]) and ''[[The Mysterious Island]]''. Ironically, Nemo means "no one" in [[Latin]]. |
||
| − | * During the scene with Marlin, Dory, and the school of fish, when the fish turn into the ship, they say "oh, it's a whale of a tale, I'll tell you lad...," a reference to the [[Walt Disney]] film adaptation of [[Jules Verne]]'s ''[[20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film)|20,000 Leagues Under the Sea]]''. |
||
| − | * [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|P''e''TA]] has a reference in which "Fish are friends, NOT food." is stated. |
||
| − | * Mr. Ray sings a song, ''The Zones of the Open Sea'' (about the different [[Pelagic zone|biological regions]] of the ocean), which is a [[pastiche]] of [[Gilbert and Sullivan]]'s ''[[Major General's Song]]''. |
||
| − | * Mount Wannahockaloogie ("wanna hock a loogie") is the "mountain" in the dentist's aquarium. "Hock a loogie" is American [[slang]] for [[Wiktionary:Expectorate|expectoration]], a common occurrence in a dentist's office. |
||
| − | * The obligatory [[A113]] [[in-joke|inside joke]]: the scuba diver who briefly blinds Marlin uses a camera with model code "A-113." |
||
| − | * There are two nods to director [[Alfred Hitchcock]]: |
||
| − | ** The overhead shot of the seagulls gathering to dive for Marlin and Dory stylistically echoes a similar gull scene in ''[[The Birds (film)|The Birds]]''. |
||
| − | ** In the dentist's office, two shots of dangerous brat Darla's face are accompanied by the shrieking [[violin]] [[glissandi]] from the shower scene in ''[[Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''. |
||
| − | * The dentist's office has a picture of ''[[Motif Number 1]]'' hanging on the wall, a tribute by director [[Andrew Stanton]] to his hometown of [[Rockport, Massachusetts]]. |
||
| − | * While Marlin and Dory are in a whale, Marlin calls the whale Moby, a reference to [[Moby Dick]]. |
||
| − | * Another nod to Stanton's roots: When the story of Marlin's journey is being spread throughout the ocean, one of the creatures telling the tale is a [[lobster]] with a [[Boston accent]] who uses the common local adjective, [[Wiktionary:Wicked|wicked]] ("It's ''wicked'' dahk down there, you can't see a thing..."). Unsurprisingly, this lobster was voiced by Stanton himself. |
||
| − | * Two of Dory's several misnamings of Nemo are "Chico" and "Harpo," references to the [[Marx Brothers]]. She also calls him "[[Elmo]]", the name of a popular Sesame Street character and [[Erasmus of Formiae|St. Elmo]] the patron of sailors, and "Fabio," likely in reference to [[Fabio Lanzoni]], the Italian male model. |
||
| − | * The first patient seen in the dentist's office is a Mr. Tucker. Tucker was the last name of a member of the storyboard team. |
||
| − | * Recurring use of the number [[42 (number)|42]], such as in P. Sherman's address ("42 Wallaby Way, Sydney") and the time it takes the dentist to use the restroom (4.2 minutes), is likely a reference to [[Douglas Adams]]' ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy]]'', in which [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy cultural references#42|the number 42 is supposedly the answer]] to the question of "Life, the Universe and Everything". |
||
| − | * The Great White Shark's name is Bruce, which may be a reference to the name given to the mechanical shark used to film the movie ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'' supposedly named after [[Steven Spielberg]]'s lawyer. The writers were also aware that [[Barry Bruce]], an [[Australia]]n shark researcher with [[CSIRO]], was [[Microchip implant (animal)|radio tagging]] white sharks. Alternatively, Bruce may just be considered to be a stereotypically Australian name. The name 'Bruce' may also be a reference to the sketch in [[Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl]], entitled ''[[Bruces' Philosophers Song]]'', in which Eric Idle and other Python members portrayed staff of the University of Woolloomooloo's philosophy department who all called each other 'Bruce' in over-exaggerated Australian accents. |
||
| − | * Bruce the shark has a scar on his nose in the shape of a four, this is a tribute to ''JAWS'' for which they made three mechanical sharks all named Bruce. This makes the shark in ''Finding Nemo'' the fourth Bruce. |
||
| − | * Several references to ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'': |
||
| − | ** The krill and Bruce shouting "Swim away!" during various scenes is a reference to the recurring line "Run away" in [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]. |
||
| − | ** Marlin forbidding Dory to sing is reminiscent of a scene in the Swamp Castle of [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]. |
||
| − | * In the scene where Bruce tries to eat the protagonists, Bruce says "Here's Brucie!" with his face showing through the door, alluding to [[Jack Nicholson]]'s "Here's Johnny!" line in [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s film ''[[The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''. (The Nicholson scene in ''The Shining'' was an allusion itself, referring to [[Ed McMahon]] announcing [[Johnny Carson]] on the ''[[The Tonight Show|Tonight Show]]''.) |
||
| − | * "Hop inside my mouth, if you want to live" is a reference to ''[[The Terminator series]]'' - it is used, in both Finding Nemo and The Terminator series, where a seemingly dangerous character is actually an ally. |
||
| − | * A notable portion of the production crew were [[Filipino American|Filipino]], and the name "P. Sherman" was chosen because it sounds like how one with a Filipino accent would say the word "[[fisherman]]."{{verify source}} |
||
| − | * The scene where Nemo defies his father and touches the bottom of the boat as Marlin continually warns him to stop is arguably reminiscent of the ice cream scene in ''[[Kramer vs. Kramer]].'' |
||
| − | * In the sunken submarine wreck, Dory sees an escape hatch with the word ESCAPE on it and says: "Esscoppay...looks like the word ''escape''!" Dory's initial pronunciation of ''escape'' is really the Spanish pronunciation of ''escape''. |
||
| − | * The seagull calls have been confirmed to be "Mine! Mine!" but many audiences hear them as saying "Mate!" in an exaggerated Australian accent. |
||
| − | *the seagulls resemble [[Feathers McGraw]], the villian from the [[Wallace and Gromit]] film, [[The Wrong Trousers]] |
||
| − | *Additionally, the dentist's address is "42 Wallaby Way," which is another [[Wallace and Gromit]] reference, since Wallace and Gromit live at "62 West Wallaby Way." |
||
| − | |||
| − | ====To other Pixar films==== |
||
| − | There are several references to previous and forthcoming Pixar films. |
||
| − | * One of the toys that can be seen in the dentist's office is a [[Buzz Lightyear]] [[action figure]] from ''[[Toy Story]]''. |
||
| − | * During Gill's outline of the escape plan: |
||
| − | ** One of the cars which flashes by is a "Pizza Planet" delivery truck, as seen in ''[[Toy Story]]''. |
||
| − | ** Vehicles from ''[[Cars (film)|Cars]]'' can also be seen, including an early version of the character Luigi, which can be seen when the tank gang escapes. |
||
| − | * An ''M is for Monsters'' book is lying on the table, an obvious reference to ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]''. |
||
| − | * In the dentist room, an art project is featured hanging from the ceiling. This same handmade art piece is in ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', as it is made by the character Boo, and gets stuck to Sully's foot when he exits her room. |
||
| − | * [[Mike Wazowski]], the green one-eyed monster from ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', swims across the screen as the credits roll. |
||
| − | * A patient in the dentist's office is reading a ''[[Mr. Incredible|Mister Incredible]]'' [[comic book]] based on the then-forthcoming Pixar movie ''[[The Incredibles]]''. |
||
| − | * The mermaid from "Knick Knack" can be seen on the ship's bow in the fish tank. |
||
| − | * One of the boat names is "For the Birds", a reference to the Pixar short ''[[For the Birds]]''. |
||
| − | * There are several objects around the dentist's office, including a small device that says on the bottom, "Engineered by a bunch of Pixar TDs," with the alien from ''[[Toy Story]]'' next to it; this is a reference to the technical directors who create these objects for the sets. A diploma in the waiting room that shows the alien in the middle says "Pixar High School of Dentistry." |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===To ''Finding Nemo''=== |
||
| − | * Pixar's previous film, [[Monsters, Inc.]], features three references to ''Finding Nemo'', which was in production at the time of ''Monsters, Inc.'''s release: |
||
| − | ** At the Harryhausen's sushi restaurant, on the wall behind the octopus chef is a ''Finding Nemo'' wallpaper. |
||
| − | ** When Boo is showing Sulley some of her toys, one of them is a Nemo squeaker toy. |
||
| − | * In the film [[Underclassman]], [[Nick Cannon]]'s character is scuba-diving and comes back up to the surface and says "I think I swallowed Nemo!" |
||
| − | * In a short scene near the start of ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]'', Bugs is fishing and says, "Hey, I found Nemo!" |
||
| − | * The movie trailer for ''[[Flushed Away]]'' includes a scene where the main character Roddy is flushed into the sewer pipes and meets a small fish who asks, "Have you seen my dad?" |
||
| − | * During a scene in ''[[The Home Teachers]]'', the main character Greg is trying to stop the flow of an overflowing toilet. He says, "Yeah, find the ocean. Find Nemo." |
||
| − | * The movie was parodied on ''The Wrong Coast'' as the animated version of The Search For Spock titled ''Finding Nemoy''. |
||
| − | * On the [[Food Network]] [[television show]] [[Ham on the Street]], [[George Duran]], after accidentally making [[dumplings]] that look like [[fish]], he exclaims, "They're like edible Nemos!" |
||
| − | * In 2005, the movie was alluded to in the [[TV series]] ''[[Lost (TV series)|Lost]]''. One of the characters in the show, [[Shannon Rutherford|Shannon]], is asked to translate some notes that are written in [[French language|French]]. She later recognizes some of the notes as lyrics from a song played in the credits of a "cartoon fish movie." The song is Charles Trenet's "[[La Mer]]", the French original of Bobby Darin's classic "[[Beyond the Sea (song)|Beyond The Sea]]." She then proceeds to sing the song, confirming the connection, although she only refers to it as "the fish song" from that point on. |
||
| − | * In 2006, the film was also mentioned on ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' when a seemingly overprotective mother explained that she knew that her sickly daughter needed to have some freedoms — "I need to loosen up... I saw ''Finding Nemo'', I get it, I don't need another story," she quipped in frustration. Several episodes later, [[Gregory House|House]] made another reference to the movie, explaining that a little girl had [[gratification disorder]] by saying she was "[[March of the Penguins|marching the penguin]]... [[Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood|ya-yaing the sisterhood]]... finding Nemo." |
||
| − | * In an episode of [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius]], when [[Jimmy Neutron|Jimmy]] is looking at a list of the greatest films in the universe, a scene from ''Finding Nemo'' can be heard. |
||
| − | * At the beginning of ''[[Brother Bear]]'', during ''Great Spirits'', when the mammoth, which Kenai rides on, knocks all the fish down with its trunk, you see Nemo. <ref>http://disney.wretch.cc/Joke/c43.htm</ref> |
||
| − | * In the [[Simpsons]] episode "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner" one of the movies on the list of movies currently showing is called "Eating Nemo". |
||
| − | *In an episode of [[Desperate Housewives]], [[Tom Scavo]] wants to be romantic with [[Lynette Scavo]]. He comes down the stairs saying "We have exactly 40 minutes before the boys actually find Nemo" |

||
| − | * ''Finding Nemo'' was originally to be released in November 2002. {{fact}} |
||
| − | * The [[tiki]]s in the tank are caricatures of three Pixar employees. The employees are Peter Sohn, Nelson Bohol and Ricky Nierva, who are responsible for character and art design. |

| − | * This film was the first Pixar film to have a advisory warning put on its G rating in Australia, which said "Some scenes may frighten young children." {{fact}} This may be referring to any or all of these scenes: |
||
| − | ** When the barracuda attacks Marlin and Coral, presumably killing Coral and their unborn children. |
||
| − | ** Dory and Marlin's encounter with the deep-sea anglerfish. |
||
| − | ** Bruce the Shark's feeding frenzy. |
||
| − | * The movie was dedicated to [[Glenn McQueen]], a Pixar Animator who died of [[Melanoma]] in October 2002. |
||
| − | * The [[royal gramma]] in the tank, Gurgle, is not actually addressed by name in the film script. The name of this character was worked out by fans though a process of elimination of the character list in the movie credits. |
||
| − | * The face of Gill was specifically designed to resemble [[Willem Dafoe]] who provided the voice. |
||
| − | * The small hut in the fish tank wherein Nemo sleeps in is called a "kubo", a nipa hut commonly found in farms and other agricultural areas in the Philippines. The animator of the kubo in the film is a Filipino. |

Revision as of 17:42, 26 March 2020
Finding Nemo is a 2003 American computer-animated comedy-drama adventure film produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Written and directed by Andrew Stanton, it tells the story of the overprotective clownfish named Marlin who, along with a regal tang named Dory, searches for his abducted son Nemo all the way to Sydney Harbour. Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and let Nemo take care of himself.
Originally released on May 30, 2003, the film was eventually re-released in 3D on September 14, 2012, and it was released on Blu-ray on December 4, 2012. The film received widespread critical acclaim, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and was nominated in three more categories including Best Original Screenplay. It was the second highest-grossing film of 2003, earning a total of $936 million worldwide. Finding Nemo is the best-selling DVD of all time, with over 40 million copies sold as of 2006, and was the highest-grossing G-rated film of all time before Pixar's own Toy Story 3 overtook it. It is the 31st highest-grossing film of all time, as well as the 5th highest-grossing animated film. In 2008, the American Film Institute named it the 10th greatest animated film ever made as part of their 10 Top 10 lists. A sequel, Finding Dory, is in production, set to be released on June 17, 2016.

Two ocellaris clownfish, Marlin and his wife Coral, admire their new home in the Great Barrier Reef and their clutch of eggs when a barracuda attacks, knocking Marlin unconscious. He wakes up to find that Coral and all but one of the eggs have disappeared. Marlin names this last egg Nemo, a name that Coral liked.
Nemo develops a smaller right fin as a result of damage to his egg during the attack, which limits his swimming ability. Worried about Nemo's safety, Marlin embarrasses Nemo during a school field trip. Nemo sneaks away from the reef and is captured by scuba divers. As the boat departs, a diver accidentally knocks his diving mask overboard. While attempting to save Nemo, Marlin meets Dory, a good-hearted and optimistic regal blue tang with short-term memory loss. Marlin and Dory meet three sharks – Bruce, Anchor and Chum – who are trying to make friends with fish in an old minefield. Marlin discovers the diver's mask and notices an address written on it. When he argues with Dory and accidentally gives her a nosebleed, the blood scent causes Bruce to enter an uncontrollable feeding frenzy. The pair escape from Bruce but the mask falls into a trench in the deep sea.
During a hazardous struggle with an anglerfish in the trench, Dory sees the diving mask and reads the address located in Sydney, Australia. The pair swim on, receiving directions to Sydney from a school of moonfish. Marlin and Dory encounter a bloom of jellyfish that nearly kills them. Marlin loses consciousness and wakes up on a sea turtle named Crush, who takes Marlin and Dory on the East Australian Current. Marlin tells the details of his long journey with a group of sea turtles, and his story is spread across the ocean. He also sees how Crush gets on well with his son Squirt.
Meanwhile, Nemo is placed in a fish tank in the office of a dentist named Philip Sherman on Sydney Harbour. He meets aquarium fish called the Tank Gang, led by a moorish idol named Gill, who has a broken fin. The Tank Gang includes Bloat, a puffer fish; Bubbles, a yellow tang; Peach, an ochre starfish; Gurgle, a royal gramma; Jacques, a pacific cleaner shrimp; and Deb, a blacktailed humbug.
The fish learn that Nemo is to be given to Sherman's niece, Darla, who killed a fish by constantly shaking its bag. Gill then reveals his plan to escape, jamming the tank's filter, forcing the dentist to remove the fish to clean it. The fish would be placed in plastic bags, and then they would shot out the window and into the harbor. After an attempt at the escape goes wrong, a brown pelican, Nigel, brings news of Marlin's adventure. Inspired by his father's determination, Nemo gracefully jams the filter, but the dentist installs a new high-tech filter before they can escape.
After leaving the East Australian Current, Marlin and Dory are engulfed by a blue whale. Inside the whale's mouth, Dory communicates with the whale, which carries them to Port Jackson and expels them through his blowhole. They meet Nigel, who recognizes Marlin from the stories he has heard, and he takes them to Sherman's office. Darla has just arrived and the dentist is handing Nemo to her. Nemo plays dead to save himself as Nigel arrives. Marlin sees Nemo and believes he is dead before Nigel is thrown out. In despair, Marlin leaves Dory and begins to swim home. Gill then helps Nemo escape into a drain that leads to the ocean. Dory loses her memory and becomes confused, and meets Nemo, who reached the ocean. Eventually, Dory's memory returns after she reads the word "Sydney" on a drainpipe. She directs Nemo to Marlin and they reunite, but then Dory is caught in a fishing net with a school of grouper. Nemo enters the net and orders the group to swim downward to break the net, enabling them to escape. After returning home, Nemo leaves for school, with Crush's son Squirt, and Marlin, no longer overprotective, proudly watches Nemo swim away with Dory at his side.
At the dentist's office, the high-tech filter breaks down and the Tank Gang escapes into the harbor, belatedly realizing they are still confined in plastic bags.
