Mumbai: Academy Award-winning best animated feature Finding Nemo returns to the big screen for the first time ever in thrilling Disney Digital 3D. It will release in India on 24 August, three weeks prior to its US release.
This stunning underwater adventure, with memorable characters, humor and heartfelt emotion, Finding Nemo follows the comedic and momentous journey of an overly protective clownfish named Marlin (voice by Albert Brooks) and his son Nemo (voice by Alexander Gould) who separate in the Great Barrier Reef when Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from his ocean home and dumped into a fish tank in a dentist‘s office.
Buoyed by the companionship of Dory (voice by Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly-but-forgetful Pacific regal blue tang, Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself as the unlikely hero of an epic effort to rescue his son who hatches a few daring plans of his own to return safely home.
It will be interesting to note that Finding Nemo won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The film won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy. At the time of its release, the film was the highest grossing G-rated movie of all time. In 2008, the American Film Institute named Finding Nemo among the top 10 greatest animated films ever made.
