Today is the fifteenth anniversary of the premiere of Finding Nemo. The film is the fifth feature produced by Pixar Animation Studios, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. It follows the adventures of an overprotective clownfish named Marlin who travels across the ocean with a blue tang named Dory searching for his missing song Nemo who has been taken to an aquarium in Sydney, Australia.

The film was a massive hit with critics and audiences, often considered to be the best the studio has produced. At the time it was the highest grossing animated feature of all time, the second-highest grossing film of 2003, and the highest grossing G-rated film at the time. It won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature as well as nominations for Original Screenplay, Original Score, and Sound Editing. It has ranked in many prolific Top Ten lists.

John Lasseter served as executive producer. It features the talents of Brad Garrett as the voice of the aquarium's pufferfish Bloat as well as Carlos Alazraqui doing additional voices.
