Finding Nemo is a classic past time for little kids. I practically grew up on this movie and still watch pretty frequently. This movie was a favorite for all little kids during the time that it came out. It won an academy award for best animated feature in 2004 and the kids choice award for favorite movie in 2004 the film also won a plethora of other awards. The movie incorporates childish and adult themes. Such as Nemo going off to the first day of school and is so excited but yet Marlin (Nemo's father) is not ready to let him go. Which is a constant struggle with parents and kids no matter what the age of the kid is. Parents are at a constant struggle of letting their kids go when it's time. This is a constant theme throughout Finding Nemo especially in the beginning when Marlin says to Nemo, "Are you sure you wanna go to school this year? 'Cause there's no problem if you don't. You can wait 5 or 6 years," This quote really shows that Nemo dad is having a really tough time letting go of his only son. But Marlin has a good point for doing this which is when his wife Coral and him were about to be parents a barracuda unfortunately killed Nemo's mom and ate all of their 400 eggs except for one and that was Nemo. So I can see why Marlin is so protective of Nemo. On Nemo's first day of school he is extremely excited and his father is incredibly nervous for his son. The first day of school, Nemo goes on an adventure to the drop off...Marlin is not aware of this adventure that Nemo is about to be going on. So Marlin, as a protective parent swims to the drop off to watch over his son. As Marlin swims up he sees Nemo watching his friends who sneaked away from their class swimming out into the open ocean trying to get as close as they can to "the butt" which is what the fish called a boat. As soon as Nemo is thinking about swimming out to the open ocean Marlin pops out and starts yelling at Nemo saying that he's not ready for school and then Nemo's teacher and the rest of his class shows up and when Marlin is distracted by talking to his teacher Nemo starts to swim towards "the butt" and touches it. In the movie you hear Marlin yelling at Nemo to get back there and as soon as Nemo is about to be reunited with his father a scuba diver scoops Nemo up in a mesh bag and the other diver takes a picture of Marlin therefore making his vision blurry and not being able to get to Nemo. Then as soon as Marlin gets his vision back he starts to swim after the boat and tries to get to Nemo before its too late. But the boat is too fast and stops and goes down to the town and tries to see if anyone saw a boat and that is when Marlin meets Dory, who has short term memory loss and goes on the adventure with Marlin to find his son. Marlin goes on an excursion to find his son that consists of him swimming with sharks to swimming above a trench and running into a field of jellyfish and then swimming on the EAC or East Australian Current with sea turtles. Then the word gets around that he is looking his son and all the sea animals are trying to help Marlin look for him. Meanwhile Nemo, is in a fish tank in a dentist office trying to escape before Darla, the dentist niece comes and tortures him. Then as soon as Marlin gets to Nemo by a pelican named Nigel he sees him in a plastic bag pretending to play dead so Darla won't kill him. Marlin's heart stops when he sees his only son like that. But then one of the fish in the fish tank called, Gill pops out of the fish tank and breaks open Nemo's bag so he can go through a drain because according to Gill "all drains lead to the ocean. " Nemo goes through the drain and is deposited in the water treatment plant. Nigel flies Dory and Marlin back and when all hope is lost Marlin finds Nemo, but he finds him trapped in a fishermen's net with Dory and a bunch of other fish. Marlin is determined not to lose Nemo again. Nemo, Marlin and Dory tell all the fish to swim down in the net to let all the fish out. As a result Nemo and Dory are let out of the net, Marlin and Nemo reunite and everything is solved. Nemo goes to school and Marlin is able to let out the leash for Nemo and everything is solved.
