Finding Nemo is a computer animated movie produced by Pixar for The Walt Disney Company and released in 2003. It follows a father fish trying to find his lost son. It set a record for highest opening weekend gross for an animated feature, making 70 million dollars.
Voices for the movie were provided by Albert Brooks (Marlin), Ellen DeGeneres (Dory), Alexander Gould (Nemo), Willem Dafoe (Gill), Geoffrey Rush (Nigel), Allison Janney (Peach), and Andrew Stanton (Crush) among others.
In selected large cinemas the movie was projected digitally from high-definition video recordings (in other words it wasn't really a "film" at all), but for general distribution the digital video was scanned onto a 35mm film negative and made into prints. Of course the video, DVD and television releases will be taken directly from the digital elements.
The film's prominent use of clownfish prompted mass purchase of the animals for children's pets in the United States. At the same time, the film had a central theme that "all drains lead back to the ocean." (A main character escapes from imprisonment by going down a sink drain and ending up in the sea.) This caused many children to flush their living fish down toilets in imitation of the picture. Major sewage companies teamed with Disney to release press statements that attempted to address the situation with humor. "Although all drains DO lead to water," they read, "said water always passes through a turbine before leading to the ocean. As such, in real life the film would more accurately be titled 'Grinding Nemo'".
