Okay, I was right. You'll start school in a year or two. Just because you're scared of the ocean […] I hate you. It's important to note that Nemo is actually being really cautious here.
Marlin's taught him well. But, he just absolutely loses it when his dad proves that he doesn't trust him to stay safe and he doesn't have confidence in Nemo's abilities. The other fish dads aren't acting like this, are they? Marlin might as well be telling Nemo that he's a physically deficient dummy…in front of his entire class. No wonder the kid breaks out the big H-word. This is just too mortifying. Of course, the first time Nemo takes a chance and does something a little bit risky, it turns out badly.
Really, really badly. Nemo's scooped up by a diver on his way back to the reef and he finds out pretty quickly that his dad can't save him from every dangerous situation. Even if he wanted to. Obviously, being fish-napped and taken to a strange place would be freaky for anyone, but it makes Nemo lose it.
Think about it—he's never been on his own or had to rely on anyone but his dad and now he's a stranger in a strange land.
Luckily, Nemo's in this tank with some pretty cool fish that are ready and willing to help him make a break for it. Plus, he learns some stuff along the way. One of the easiest lessons for Nemo to take away from this whole experience would be to never disobey his dad again. After all, Marlin was right, wasn't he?
The ocean is dangerous. Swimming off into open water is a bad idea. Nemo could swim right back into that anemone and never take another risk again. But that's not what happens to Nemo. During his time in the fish tank, Nemo learns he can take chances and do extraordinary things. When he meets Gill, who also has a damaged fin, he realizes that his lucky fin doesn't have to hold him back.
He can swim well. He can even swim up into a filter, block it with a pebble, and come back out again. Easy peasy. Nemo is a young clownfish who lives with his father, Marlin in a sea anemone. Before he hatched from his egg, his mother, Coral and the other eggs were killed in an attack by a barracuda.
Only Nemo's egg survived, albeit slightly cracked. As a result of the egg damage, Nemo's right fin is smaller than the left, thus Marlin worries about him and becomes overprotective of his only son. He was given his name because Coral mentioned she liked "Nemo" as a name while they were looking at their eggs. Years later, Nemo heads off to his first day of school. At one point, he joins his friends in sneaking away from the rest of the class and discovers the drop-off, seeing a boat on the open ocean.
They each dare each other to see how far out they can go from the reef, but as Nemo is telling them that his father says it's not safe, a frantic Marlin who was chasing after them upon hearing they were heading to the drop-off rushes in, attempting to stop Nemo from swimming off. The two get into a heated argument, with Marlin believing Nemo's disability is too much of a hazard to his safety, but Nemo insists he is fine and can take care of himself.
The argument reaches its peak when Marlin tells Nemo he can't do things he thinks he can, causing Nemo to tell his father that he hates him. As Marlin tries to explain the situation to Mr. Ray, Nemo decides to prove he can survive dangers by touching the boat. Marlin, who is watching and also alerted by the student Kathy , orders Nemo to come back, when Nemo is suddenly taken by a diver, who puts him on a boat and heads off to a dentist's office in Sydney, Australia. In the dentist's office, Nemo is placed inside a fish tank.
Though initially scared by his sudden change of surroundings, as well as being separated from his father, Nemo soon meets the friendly Tank Gang, who live peacefully watching the dentist and his patients.
The fish are shocked when they suddenly learn that Nemo is to be a gift for the dentist's niece, Darla. Upon learning that Darla has a past history as a "fish-killer," Nemo becomes horrified and tries to swim away, but is sucked into the filter's tube. Nemo then encounters the Tank Gang's leader, Gill , who shows him how to escape the tube on his own.
Nemo escapes successfully, impressing Gill. That night, the Tank Gang accepts Nemo into their group, dubs him "Sharkbait" and decide to help him avoid being taken away by Darla by escaping the tank, however the first step in the plan involves Nemo using a pebble to jam the filter's fan, since he is the only one small enough to fit inside the filter.
The first attempt at their plan falls apart when the pebble is not strong enough and Nemo is almost sucked into and killed by the fan. Distraught, Gill decides that he shouldn't force Nemo to go back into the filter. However, Nemo soon learns from Nigel the pelican that Marlin is on his way to rescue him, lifting his spirits as he hears of Marlin taking on sharks and jellyfish.
Nemo realizes he also needs to be brave, and inspired by his father's exploits, makes a second attempt to jam the filter. This time, the plan works, causing the tank to become covered in scum and algae. The next day, the fish are stunned to realize their plan has backfired, as the dentist has replaced the tank's filter with a new, high-tech version.
Right before Darla arrives, Nemo is placed in a bag. Thinking quickly, Nemo is able to fool the dentist by playing dead, causing the dentist to try to throw him into the garbage. However, at that exact moment, Nigel arrives with Marlin and Dory , and panic ensues, causing the dentist to drop Nemo's bag. An observing Marlin believes that Nemo has really died and becomes distraught as Nigel is shoved away.
Nemo is suddenly picked up by Darla, but Gill and the rest of the Tank Gang make a last-ditch effort to save Nemo. Gill launches himself out of the tank and on top of Darla, causing her to drop Nemo's bag. Gill then flings Nemo down a nearby sink drain, and Nemo falls into the treatment plant sewers. In the ocean, Nemo escapes being captured by crabs before he runs into Dory, who had earlier helped Marlin in his search for his son.
Though Dory does not initially remember Marlin's goal, due to a short-term memory loss issue, Nemo decides to help her find the fish she says she is looking for. Upon seeing the word "Sydney," Dory recalls her adventures and leads Nemo to Marlin who is still brokenhearted. Marlin and Nemo are thrilled to see each other, but Dory is suddenly caught in a fisherman's net with a school of grouper.
Nemo is able to use the skills he obtained from his time in the tank to save Dory by telling all the fish in the net to swim down. But, on the morning Darla arrives to claim her victim—er—present, the fish wake up to find that the tank is clean again. Oh, no!
Nemo plays dead in the hopes that the dentist will flush him down the toilet and back into the ocean. Of course, he also plays dead just as Marlin and Dory arrive in the window of the dentist office thanks to a little air lift from Nigel.
Back in Sydney Harbour, Marlin leaves Dory to head home. But, little does he know that Nemo's managed to get himself flushed down a drain and has popped up back in the harbor, too. Father and son are finally reunited, but not before Dory gets trapped in a fisherman's net.
Things are never that simple, are they? Nemo has a plan to help her escape, but it's dangerous. Marlin agrees to let his son try and finally learns that you can't stop your kids from doing crazy things forever. After a few minutes of suspense, Dory's saved and the three fish head back the reef where they live out their days. Marlin's way more chill and not nearly as freaked out about his kid getting killed.
Nemo learns a whole bunch of stuff in school and appreciates his dad a whole lot more. Dory's still Dory…but we love her, so it's all good. Parents Home Homeschool College Resources. Study Guide.
