What is the real story behind Finding Nemo? ›

The inspiration for Finding Nemo sprang from multiple experiences, going back to Stanton's childhood, when he loved going to the dentist to see the fish tank, assuming that the fish were from the ocean and wanted to go home.

Finding Nemo is a CGI animated film series and Disney media franchise that began with the 2003 film of the same name, produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The original film was followed by a sequel, Finding Dory, released in 2016. Both films were directed by Andrew Stanton.

For both scenic and technical reasons, the filmmakers needed their land-based scenes as close to the ocean as possible, and a dentist's office in the charming seaside community of North Sydney provided the perfect location for Nemo's final rescue.

What type of fish is Dory? ›

Dory, the small blue fish with a bad memory from the "Finding Nemo" franchise, is a blue tang, or a Paracanthurus hepatus in scientific terms. Native to the Indo-Pacific and found in coral reefs, these fish weigh around one pound and are generally 10 to 12 inches long, according to National Geographic.

Nemo is an Ocellaris Clownfish that generally stays small and requires a minimum tank size of only 20 gallons. In order for the larger Dory to join Nemo, the tank must be a minimum of 125 gallons. A standard 125 gallon tank measures 48" x 24" x 24".

Nemo is a young clownfish who lives with his father, Marlin, in a sea anemone. Before he hatched from his egg, his mother, Coral, and the other eggs containing his brothers and sisters were eaten by a barracuda. Only Nemo's egg survived, albeit slightly cracked.

Marlin (Albert Brooks), a clown fish, is overly cautious with his son, Nemo (Alexander Gould), who has a foreshortened fin. When Nemo swims too close to the surface to prove himself, he is caught by a diver, and horrified Marlin must set out to find him.

Meanwhile, Nemo plots his escape from a dentist's fish tank.
