There are dozens of memorable supporting characters, including a surfer dude turtle and a trio of sharks keen to embrace vegetarianism. The rapport between Marlin and Dory is wonderful.ĭeGeneres is a hoot as the comic sidekick, repeatedly forgetting who Marlin is and swimming to the surreal conclusion: “Are. Meanwhile, Nemo hatches a daring escape from the crowded aquarium with the help of the other residents, including a Moorish Idol called Gill (Willem Dafoe), a hygiene-obsessed shrimp called Jacques (Joe Ranft) and a starfish called Peach (Allison Janney).įinding Nemo is still computer-animated perfection.īrooks plays his compulsive-obsessive father with sensitivity and dry wit, such as when he frets that none of his children will like him and his wife replies: “Marlin, there are 400 eggs, I’m pretty sure one of them will like you.” The clownfish is aided by a friendly blue tang called Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who suffers from short-term memory loss, travelling through shark-infested waters to be reunited with his boy. When his one surviving son Nemo (Alexander Gould), is plucked from the Great Barrier Reef by a diver and rehoused in a fish tank in a dentist’s waiting room, Marlin embarks on an epic adventure to bring the youngster home.
