Marlin, who is a single parent, is a timid clownish (小丑) fish. He has a son named Nemo, a naughty but brave fish. The other main character is Dory, who becomes a friend of Marlin’s. One day, when Nemo was out alone, unluckily, he was caught by a diver. Together with Dory, Marlin set out to look for Nemo.
