Nemo is a clownfish. He lives in the ocean. Nemo’s mother doesn’t

live with him, because a bad shark ate her! So, Nemo and his father,
Marlin, live alone in a beautiful reef.
On his first day of school, Nemo is very happy to explore the sea
world, but his father is very worried. Marlin is afraid of sharks, and he
doesn’t want to leave Nemo alone.
However, Nemo disobeys his father and goes after a boat, and
unfortunately, a man captures him!
So, his father starts a journey to find his missing son. Marlin meets
a new friend: Dory. She tries to help him, but she’s really forgetful, and
sometimes she messes things up!
Nemo stays in an aquarium in Australia, where he meets new
friends, but he misses his father very much. With his new friends help, he
tries to escape from the aquarium, but it’s very difficult!
