Nemo, young clownfish,

Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to Marlin his worrisome father, and Dory a friendly but forgetful tang fish, to make the epic journey to bring Nemo home.

Life along the Great Barrier Reef is full of dangers a tiny clown fish. And for Marlin, a single parent determined to protect his only son Nemo, constant fears and anxieties. When, on his first day of school, Nemo defies his father and swims off alone to investigate a boat.

 He is suddenly scooped up by a diver as Marlin helplessly watches. Marlin turns desperate as he frantically swims off in search for his son.

Together this aquatic odd couple set out on an impossible mission, finding themselves in troubled waters and contending with such hazards as sharks, deadly angler fishes and a forest of jellyfish.

When word of Marlin and Dory's ocean adventures gets back to Nemo, he is so thrilled to learn of his father's search for him that he becomes motivated to move forward with a daring escape plan of his own.
