“Finding Nemo” arrived in Portuguese waters 22 years ago. Released in 2003, the Disney and Pixar animated film achieved the milestone of being the second highest grossing film of the year, only behind the film “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”.
Marlin, an overprotective clownfish, lives on the reef with his only son, Nemo. On the first day of classes, Nemo, curious, swims beyond the safe limit and ends up captured by a diver. Determined to rescue his son, Marlin crosses the ocean, facing several dangers. Along the way, he meets Dory, a fish with a short memory, who becomes his ally in the adventure.
