Searching for the Clownfish

To start off our story, we need to go from the beginning. Marlin and his wife are soon to be parents, with their many fish babies. Before they are born, a shark comes through and eats the wife and all of the babies but one. That last little fish hatches and is Marlin’s only kid, which is named Nemo. One day at school, Nemo was feeling rebellious and swam out into the open water towards a boat. Nemo is taken by the fisherman, which of course freaks out

Marlin is a clownfish who had a very traumatic event happen to him, that prompts his quest and journey. Marlin and his wife Coral had just become parents after finding a home for their eggs. Unfortunately, the family was faced with a barracuda attack in which Coral and all but one of the eggs died. Marlin and his one surviving egg Nemo live a cautious life, never wanting to leave the reef and enter the open ocean. One day Nemo swims out to touch the “butt” of a boat in the open ocean. He is later captured by a scuba diver, making Nemo become our damsel in distress. A damsel in distress in a vulnerable person who needs the hero to save. Even though Nemo is a not a woman he fits the description perfectly. On the other hand, we have Dory. Dory is a very crucial character in the movie’s storyline. Without her knowledge in speaking whale and reading human/english Marlin would never had been able to save Nemo. Equally

Dory is a Regal Blue Tang that lives in the ocean along with her friends Marlin and Nemo. She has a charming personality, and is a very happy and excited character. Dory would love to chat with you all day and tell you her whole life story...but she can’t. Dory is a very forgetful fish and can’t seem to remember things very well. She suffers from short term memory loss, and is unable to retain her memories. According to Dory’s bio on Disney.com, “Dory is the friendliest fish in the ocean. Although she suffers from short term memory loss, to Dory, the glass is always half full.” In the previous movie Finding Nemo, Dory offers to help Marlin on his journey to find his missing son, Nemo. When she starts traveling with Marlin, her memory can

Both being clown fish, Nemo and Marlin live in the ocean, in the anemone. Marlin is Nemo’s father who is viewed as being overprotective towards Nemo. Marlin portrays the characteristic of being overprotective because while Nemo was in the egg as a baby, one of his fins was damaged. Nemo, tired of his overprotective father decides that he wants to prove himself by swimming into the open ocean. However, things do not turn out very well and Nemo is captured by a scuba diver. Parenting instinct kick in, and Marlin immediately swims after the boat that is now carrying Nemo. Marlin eventually loses sight of the boat, however throughout the duration of the movie, he continues to look for his son Nemo. While on his journey to find Nemo, Marlin meets a blue tang fish named Dory, who suffers from sort term memory loss (Stanton & Unkrich,2003). With the help of Dory, they are able to eventually find Nemo (Stanton & Unkrich, 2003). Come

Specific Purpose: The purpose is to inform on how all Pixar movies exist in the same universe and is telling the same story just jumping around in time. This timelines includes Toy Story (1995), A Bug’s Life (1998), Toy Story 2 (1998), Monsters Inc. (2001), Finding Nemo (2003), The Incredibles (2004), Cars (2006), Ratatouille (2007), WALL-E (2008), Up (2009), Toy Story 3 (2010), Cars 2 (2011), Brave (2012) ,and 2013 Monsters University (Negroni, 2015).

The motion picture we are applying or using is Pixar's "Finding Nemo". Our hero would be Marlin, the timid clownfish who lives safe and secluded in the colorful and warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef. After the devastating, life changing event when starting a family, specifically when a hostile fish devoured his wife and all his unborn kids, Marlin had been a cowardly, cautious individual who lacks socialism and simply "can't tell a joke". He limits, rescues, protects and controls Nemo, and expectations are low for Nemo's ability, due to his disability. He is somber, worried and agitated about every detail in Nemo's life. In fact, Marlin's life completely revolves around Nemo's life. Also, Marlin can't acknowledge or admit that

We all know the popular family movie “Finding Nemo” a kid’s movie that tells a journey of Marlin, a father clown fish, who crosses the vast ocean to find his son Nemo. During Marlin’s journey he comes across many new and scary things, but like any good children’s movie Marlin does eventually find his son Nemo and they go back home and live happily ever after. This all sounds good right? Wrong! Looking at this movie from a psychologist point of view, or in my case a psychology students’ point of view you slowly begin to realize from the moment the movie starts each and every one of the characters in this lovely kids movie is kind of messed up in their own special way.

It all started with one fish who decide to touch the ¨butt¨. One fish at school got challenged to swim out and touch the bottom of a boat. With no fear in mind, Nemo went and touched the boat. Nemo thought he had an easy victory when something happened and changed his life forever. Nemo is the son of a brave dad named Marlin. Marlin suffered a miserable loss of his wife and all their children. Nemo is the only family member Marlin has left so Marlin pledges to keep Nemo safe at all costs. In the film ¨Finding Nemo¨ the author Andrew Stanton uses good and evil through the journey to criticise how we as humans value the love we have for are family members because we share a strong bond with the people we enjoy.

Finding Nemo was so good that 13 years later of the original film came out an squeal of our characters in 2016 of our favorite blue fish. Film also made a big fame to audience that in 2010 they had a ice skating tour of the characters on ice. An interesting fact of the squeal was that the animators spent time at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. “ Animators spent a lot of time at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and also consulted with Adam Summers, "The Fish Guy," an expert who offered detailed explanations on how fish move.” (Berger, 2016) Then the Ice skating show for the original film was a six show and that “the puffer fish is one of more than 60 costumes created for “Disney on Ice:

As an offspring of the 1990s, I long back ago about how often I've seen "Finding Nemo" – and given Pixar's new affinity for spin-offs, an arrival to that richly introduced submerged world was maybe unavoidable. Set quite a while after "Nemo," "Finding Dory" focuses on the cherished blue tang with memory issues, who wanders forward on a transoceanic adventure looking for her departed guardians. Appropriately, "Finding Dory" has to a lesser degree a street motion picture vibe than the first. There's Hank, a delightfully curmudgeonly octopus set on getting exchanged to an aquarium in Cleveland; Destiny, an astigmatic (and marginally ditzy) whale shark; Bailey, a self-tormentor beluga whale, whose endeavors at echolocation are a portion of the film's most clever

Although psychology class is most likely not the first thing to come to mind when watching a Disney movie, many psychological concepts can be drawn from them. In Andrew Stanton’s 2003 animated film, Finding Nemo, various psychological concepts are exemplified. Finding Nemo tells the story of an overly cautious clownfish named Marlin who losses his son, Nemo, to a pair of divers. He meets a fish named Dory who together seek to find Marlin’s son. Throughout their journey they encounter a storm of jelly fish, surfing sea-turtles, sharks participating in a “Fish are Friends, Not Food (Graham, 2003)” support group, and numerous other conflicts. Hidden between the lines of their comic misfortunes, Marlin suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, many characters fall to acts of conformity, and altruism is a theme that defines the movie.

Fish have thoughts, don't they! In the movie, Finding Nemo, the main character, Marlin, wants get his son back because a diver took him, so Marlin and a fish named Dory go through many challenges and he finally reunites with his son. The author of the movie Finding Nemo, Andrew Stanton, creates the theme learning to trust can help make friendship. Marlin, Nemos father, proves that learning to trust your peers can make friendship. First, Marlin doesn't trust that Dory knows where she is going.

After losing his wife and nearly all of his children, Marlin finds himself a single father with only one child, named Nemo. On Nemo’s first day of school, Marlin is very paranoid and worried, afraid of losing his only remaining child, and ends up being too strict with Nemo, which upsets him. When Nemo gets to school and meets some new friends, he gets dared to touch a ‘butt’, which is really the bottom of a boat. When Marlin finds out and orders Nemo to stop, Nemo defies him and touches the boat, and gets captured by a human immediately after and taken to a fish tank in the human world. The rest of the movie shows the journey of Marlin as he tries to find and get back his son, determined to save him and bring him back home. When Marlin finally

The movie then transitions to years later on Nemo’s first day of school. While ecstatic to meet his classmates, teacher, and the independence of going to school, Marlin ceases to let Nemo go smoothly due to his fear of losing his only son and the worry of his “lucky” fin (an injury acquired from the barracuda attack). After such trauma, Marlin is known to be “scared” of the ocean, filled with anxiety,

The film I’ve chosen to analyze is the film Finding Nemo, an animated comedy-drama adventure film, directed by Andrew Shanton and Lee Unkrich. Major actors include; Alexander Gould as Nemo, Ellen DeGeneres as Dory and Albert Brooks as Marlin. The film was officially released in May 30th, 2003. This blockbuster film was nominated Best Animated Feature, also winning more than forty different awards. Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken from his Great Barrier Reef home to a dentist’s office fish tank. It is now up to the worrisome father, Marlin and his new friend Dory, to set off across the ocean to find Nemo. As his epic journey to find his son continues, Marlin and Dory are faced with challenging situations, which put their fears to the test; allowing them to not only create a new great friendship, but also learn valuable lessons. One of the highlighted lessons in
