Marlin (Silas Kirk), an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo (Brynn Stein), who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. 

With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory (Berkeley Thompson), laid-back sea turtle Crush (Isaac Stott), and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
