Finding Nemo Movie Analysis
Finding Nemo is an animated adventure film that Walt Disney Pictures released in 2003. Pixar Animation Studios released the movie, and Andrew Stanton co-written and directed it with the help of Lee Unkrich. Finding Nemo begins with voices by Willem Dafoe, Albert Brooks, Alexander Gould, and Ellen DeGeneres (“Finding Nemo,” 2003). In particular, it is about an overprotective fish, Marlin (Albert Brooks), who goes to search for his son, Nemo (Alexander Gould), who is missing.

He does not bother asking his father about the dangers of his actions or behaviors. As such, Marlin’s expectations of something terrible happening to his son is confirmed when he gets lost.
Perception plays a significant role in Finding Nemo since everything under the sea or marine aquarium fisheries is about hearing, seeing, and becoming aware of the surroundings through senses. For example, Marlin’s search for Nemo is guided by perception. He thought of places that his son might be and went there to look for Nemo (Militz & Foale, 2017). Dory’s (Ellen DeGeneres) perception that Marlin is a good person makes her accompany him when searching for Nemo.
The use of language differs between characters in Finding Nemo. Marlin uses a high volume, pitch, and speed to communicate to his son, particularly when warning him not to go far. His voice is authoritative. On the contrary, Nemo uses low speed and volume when communicating with his father (Hidayati, 2018). Sometimes, his way of communication indicates that he is frustrated and angry with his father for being overprotective.
Non-verbal communication involves using gestures, tone of voice, or facial expressions to pass information. In Finding Nemo, it is used to indicate danger. For instance, the open water between the boat and the reef shows that something bad might happen. Additi...
