Plot summary

Marlin, a clownfish on the Great Barrier Reef, loses Coral to a barracuda and is left with a single egg. He raises the survivor, Nemo, in a sea anemone and watches him closely. On Nemo's first day of school, the boy swims out toward a boat to prove himself, and divers capture him. Marlin follows the boat until he loses the trail, then meets Dory, a blue tang who forgets things almost at once and agrees to help him. Nemo, meanwhile, ends up in a dentist's tank in Sydney, where Gill and the other occupants tell him the dentist intends to give him to his niece, Darla.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Finding Nemo (2003)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

Megan Mullally was originally cast to voice a character, but after the producers learned her natural voice wasn't the Karen Walker voice she used on Will & Grace, they pushed her to use that Karen Walker voice anyway, and she was dismissed when she refused.
The film's use of clownfish prompted concerns about mass purchases of the fish as pets in the United States, later dubbed the “Nemo effect”, even though the story portrayed keeping fish as pets negatively. The demand was supplied by large-scale harvesting of tropical fish in regions like Vanuatu.
William H. Macy was originally cast as Marlin and recorded most of his dialogue before director Andrew Stanton decided the role needed a lighter touch and recast Albert Brooks, a change Stanton later said "saved" the film.
In 2016 Disney created a Navajo-language dub of the film, titled Nemo Há'déést'íí, meant to help preserve the language for children, though the studio struggled to find an age-appropriate speaker to voice Nemo since most fluent Navajo speakers are over 40.
French author Franck Le Calvez sued Disney, claiming Finding Nemo copied his 2002 children's book Pierrot the Clownfish and trying to block Nemo merchandise sales in France; a judge ruled against him, pointing to color differences between the two clownfish characters.
Kellogg's had to recall Frosted Flakes boxes after Hasbro sued over their close resemblance to a Hasbro memory card game, since Disney had licensed the Finding Nemo characters to appear on those cards alongside Tony the Tiger.
Finding Nemo's DVD sold more than 8 million copies on its first day, breaking Spider-Man's record for single-day DVD sales and topping Monsters, Inc.'s record for an animated film.
Finding Nemo became the first Pixar and first Disney film ever to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
