In the colorful and warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef, a clown fish named Marlin lives safe and secluded in his anemone home with his only son, Nemo, who like all young fish, is eager to explore the mysterious reef. Writer-director Andrew Stanton recalls: “I grew up in Massachusetts, by the sea, and I remember going to my family dentist, who had this funky fish tank in his office. All kids are attracted to aquariums, and I remember staring at this tank and thinking what a weird view of the world this must be for the fish—it’s like flying into Las Vegas and that’s your first view of America.”
