Synopsis

Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken from his Great Barrier Reef home to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to his worrisome father Marlin and a friendly but forgetful fish Dory to bring Nemo home -- meeting vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and more along the way.

Cinematic Threads
I told the story, which is basically 'Jaws' underwater with the characters from 'Seven Samurai,' to John Lasseter, and he thought it sounded great.
