Finding Nemo
He promised nothing would ever happen to his son. Then Dory pointed out that nothing would ever happen to him. 🐠
Who it's for
Finding Nemo shows where a parent's fear comes from before it asks him to change: Marlin loses his partner Coral and almost all their eggs in the opening minutes, so his overprotection of Nemo reads as understandable, not foolish.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Directed by Andrew Stanton, who co-wrote it with Bob Peterson and David Reynolds, this Pixar film follows Marlin, an overprotective clownfish whose son Nemo is taken by scuba divers near the Great Barrier Reef. Marlin teams up with Dory, a forgetful blue tang, on a dangerous journey across the ocean to find him.
