When Nemo, a young clownfish, is unexpectedly carried far from home, his overprotective father, Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang, embark on an epic journey that leads to encounters with vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, and hungry seagulls!

Take the plunge into FINDING NEMO, "a thing of beauty, hugely entertaining, and way cool." - Peter Travers Rolling Stone.
