Poor Marlin is the unhappiest clownfish in the sea! When a nasty barracuda kills his wife and eats his children, he raises the only surviving – and slightly handicapped – son, Nemo, on his own. Naturally, he’s an overprotective worrier, well-voiced by Albert Brooks. When Nemo is scooped out of the sea by an Australian scuba diver, Marlin must overcome his own fears, and risk everything by swimming to Sydney and…finding Nemo. A richly-textured story, wonderfully told and animated, makes this one of the crown jewels of Pixar’s movies. The opening sequence of barracuda v. fish action might be too intense for younger viewers but the rest of the movie is a wild, fun ride.
