Finding Nemo Quiz – Clownfish, Dory and Reef Creatures

Finding Nemo, released by Pixar in 2003 and directed by Andrew Stanton, follows Marlin, an anxious clownfish, searching for his son Nemo. Clownfish live among sea anemones, protected from stings by a mucus coating.

Marlin teams up with Dory, a forgetful regal blue tang voiced by Ellen DeGeneres. They meet Bruce, a shark trying to give up eating fish, escape an anglerfish and ride the East Australian Current with the sea turtle Crush.
