"Finding Nemo." For the upcoming
release of its new movie, "Finding Nemo," the animation studio
Pixar created an entire ocean full of fish in incredible detail. The
movie is about a clown fish, with a voice by Albert Brooks, whose son
Nemo gets stolen from a coral reef home to live in an aquarium in a
dentist's office. A sad fate indeed. And the animators Ricky Nierva
Oren Jacob, and Dylan Brown, say depicting a sad fish was really hard.
Produced by Jonathan Mitchell.
