==Plot== <!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 to 700 words. Please check the word count before making any additions. --> Marlin and Coral, a clownfish couple, live happily in an [[sea anemone|anemone]] in the [[Great Barrier Reef]]. They are about to become parents, waiting for their many eggs to hatch. Suddenly, a [[barracuda]] approaches the anemone; Coral rushes to protect her eggs as the barracuda knocks Marlin unconscious. Upon awakening, Marlin discovers that Coral and all but one of the eggs have been eaten by the barracuda; the last remaining egg is cracked. Marlin names his child Nemo, a name Coral liked, and vows to keep him safe. On Nemo's first day of school, he and Marlin have a heated argument regarding Marlin's overprotective parenting method. Nemo defiantly swims to a speedboat and is captured by a pair of scuba divers. Marlin frantically pursues the boat in vain. Marlin meets Dory, a [[Paracanthurus|blue tang]] with [[anterograde amnesia|short-term memory loss]], who offers to help him. The two encounter Bruce, Anchor, and Chum, three sharks who are attempting to abstain from eating fish. Marlin finds a diver's mask that fell from the boat and accidentally injures Dory with it. The scent of her blood sends Bruce into a frenzy and he accidentally sets off old [[naval mines]]; the sharks, Marlin, and Dory are able to swim to safety before the mines blow up. Nemo is placed in a fish tank in the office of [[dentist]] Philip Sherman in [[Sydney, Australia]]. He meets the "Tank Gang", led by Gill, a scarred [[Moorish idol]]. Sherman plans to give Nemo to his niece, Darla, who accidentally killed her previous pet fish because she treated him carelessly. Gill, who also wishes to return to the ocean, devises an escape plan: Nemo, the smallest fish in the tank, will block the aquarium's filter tube with a pebble, obliging Sherman to put the fish into bags while he cleans the tank. This will allow them to roll out the window and into the harbor. Nemo attempts to block the filter but fails; in the process, he is almost killed by the filter's machinery, causing Gill to feel deeply regretful. The diver's mask falls into a deep trench. As Marlin and Dory search for it, they are attacked by an [[anglerfish]] but manage to trap it using the mask. Dory memorizes the address written on the mask. A school of [[Monodactylidae|moonfish]] give the pair directions to the [[East Australian Current]]. On their way, Marlin and Dory become trapped in a forest of [[jellyfish]]. After being stung and knocked unconscious, they awaken in the East Australian Current with a large group of [[sea turtles]], including Crush and his son, Squirt. The story of Marlin's quest is relayed by the turtles across the ocean to Sydney, where it reaches Nigel, a [[pelican]] who regularly converses with the Tank Gang. Nigel tells the Tank Gang of Marlin's journey, motivating Nemo to try blocking the filter again. Nemo's attempt is successful, and the aquarium quickly becomes covered in [[green algae]]. After exiting the current, Marlin and Dory get lost and are consumed by a [[blue whale]]. The whale expels them through its [[Blowhole (anatomy)|blowhole]] into [[Sydney Harbour]]. Nigel finds Marlin and Dory, and, after rescuing them from a flock of ravenous [[Gull|seagulls]], takes them to Sherman's office, where Nemo is [[Apparent death|playing dead]] to avoid being given to Darla; this causes Marlin to believe Nemo is actually dead. Sherman forces Nigel out of his office, and Gill helps Nemo escape through the sink drain that leads to the ocean. Deeply shaken, Marlin mournfully says goodbye to Dory and begins heading home. Nemo meets Dory, who helps him reunite with Marlin. A [[fishing trawler]] captures Dory in a [[Fishing net|net]] along with a school of [[grouper]]s. Nemo and Marlin work together, instructing the fish to swim down. Their combined force breaks the beam of the trawler, freeing the fish. Some time later, Marlin, who has become more confident and outgoing, drops Nemo off at school. Dory joins Marlin, and together, they wave goodbye to Nemo as he leaves with his class. Meanwhile, after the dentist's new filter breaks, the Tank Gang escapes into Sydney Harbour in their plastic bags. Now successfully in the ocean but still stuck in the bags, they ponder what to do next.
