A Story Idea Is Pitched First, a Pixar employee "pitches" or tells aloud his or her idea to other members of the development team using visuals, props, reenactments of scenes, and other ways to express what the film would be like. The real challenge is to get the audience to believe in the idea and see the possibilities in it.
The Text Treatment Is Written A treatment is a short document that summarizes the main idea of the story. Sometimes, many treatments of the same idea will be developed in order to find the right balance between solid ideas and open possibilities, which will be filled in later by development and storyboard artists.
In the unusual case of "Finding Nemo," Stanton had a finished script before production started, but it was rewritten every step of the way to add humor and plot elements. Storyboards Are Drawn Storyboards are like a hand-drawn comic book version of the movie and serve as the blueprint for the action and dialogue. Using these as guidelines, the artists envision their assigned sequences, draw them out, and then "pitch" their work to the director.
Voice Talent Begins Recording First, Pixar artists record temporary "scratch" voices for the storyboard reels. Later, when the story and dialogue are further along, professional actors begin recording the character voices, reading from a script and improvising.
Actors must record lines several different ways, and the best reading is eventually animated. Sometimes, scratch voices are so good they're not replaced, such as Stanton's voice for Crush the sea turtle and story supervisor Joe Ranft's voice for Jacques the overzealous cleaner shrimp.
Editorial Begins Making Reel A reel is a videotape that allows the cleaned-up storyboard sequence to stand alone without a pitch person to tell the story.
A successful pitch includes a strong storyteller, so reels are an essential step to validate the sequence and are the first instance that the "timing" of the sequences is understood. Editorial uses the information to fix the length and other elements of each shot in a sequence. The Art Department Creates the Look and Feel Based on the initial text treatment, storyboards, and their own creative brainstorming and development work, the art department creates inspirational art illustrating the world and the characters.
It also designs sets, props, visual looks for surfaces, and colors and "color scripts" for lighting, which are impressionistic pastel illustrations that emphasize the light in scenes.
Models Are Sculpted and Articulated Using the art department's model packet -- a set of informational drawings -- the characters, sets, and props are either sculpted by hand and then scanned in three-dimensionally or modeled in 3-D directly in the computer. They are instructed to continue through a large purplish plume of plankton to Sydney. However, they soon become lost and Dory resolves to ask a distant fish for directions.
Though Marlin is afraid at first, he decides to trust Dory and she calls out to the distant figure. When she sees its a blue whale , she starts speaking 'whale', asking for help. Marlin grows frustrated with her again just as a whale approaches from behind and pulls them into its mouth. Back in the fish tank, a couple of days' worth without a filter has rendered every surface covered in green algae. When the dentist sees this, he opts to clean the tank the following morning before Darla's arrival.
Nemo looks out the window to the harbor outside, wondering if his father is there already, waiting for him. In the whale's mouth, Marlin and Dory remain safe with enough water to swim in.
Though Dory is complacent, Marlin futilely attempts to break out by ramming into the whale's baleen. He yells at Dory for claiming to have spoken whale, calling her insane and lamenting over the fact that he'll never see his son again.
Dory tries to console him as the whale emits a call and the water in the mouth begins to drain. The whale then lifts his tongue to push Marlin and Dory to the back of the throat, but Marlin refuses to let go until Dory assures him that everything will be all right though she doesn't know what will happen.
Finally, Marlin closes his eyes and releases his grip on the whale's tongue. They fall to the back of the throat, where they are then shot out of the whale's blowhole, landing in the harbor of Sydney.
Overjoyed to have finally arrived, Marlin sends his thanks to the whale and encourages Dory to help him find the boat that took Nemo. The following morning, Peach wakes up with the horrified realization that the tank is suddenly clean. The fish find that the dentist had installed a new talking prototype high-tech filter named the AquaScum the night before.
The AquaScum scans the tank with the laser and tells the status. The temperature of the water is 82 degrees and the ph balance is normal. Though they are impressed with the fluid functionality of the device, they worry about what they will do when Darla arrives. The dentist suddenly pulls Nemo up in a fishnet but Gill and the other fish swim into it and instruct Nemo to swim down, pulling the net into the tank and away from the dentist's grip. Despite their efforts, Nemo is quickly scooped up in a plastic bag and set on the counter.
The other fish tell Nemo to roll out the window but, before he can get far, the dentist places the baggie in a tin to keep him from moving. Gill tries to assure Nemo that he'll be ok but, at that moment, Darla crashes into the office. Marlin and Dory continue to search the harbor, both tired from looking at boats all night when they are scooped up in the beak of a pelican. The pelican lands on a nearby dock and swallows them, but Marlin refuses to have come this far just to be breakfast.
He lodges himself and Dory in the pelican's neck, causing it to start choking. Nearby, Nigel wakes from a nap to notice the pelican, Gerald, choking and flies down to assist. He hits Gerald in the back, expelling Marlin and Dory from his mouth onto the dock, where Marlin shouts out that he needs to find Nemo. Recognizing the name, Nigel turns to Gerald excitedly and tells him this is the fish that they've been hearing about. When he turns back to Marlin, he sees that he and Dory have flopped their way towards the end of the dock.
Nigel chases after them, but they are all forced to freeze when they notice that they are surrounded by hungry seagulls. When Nigel tells Marlin that he knows his son, Nemo, Marlin flips in excitement, causing the seagulls to rush forward, but Nigel manages to take Dory and Marlin in his mouth and fly off.
Darla torments the fish in the tank before going in to see her uncle. As he picks up the bag with Nemo inside, he notices Nemo floating upside down. The other fish quickly realize that Nemo is feigning death so that he can be flushed down the toilet, but the dentist moves towards the trash can just as Nigel arrives in the window.
Marlin forces Nigel into the office, terrorizing the dentist, Darla, and two other family members. Marlin sees Nemo floating and believes him to be dead as the dentist grabs Nigel and violently forces him out the window again, Marlin calling out to Nemo. Hearing his name, Nemo pops upright, but Darla takes the bag and starts shaking it, trying to "wake up the fishy". Gill lodges himself into the top of Mt. Wannahockaloogie as the rest of the Tank Gang push the volcano, and the force of the bubbles propels him out of the tank.
He lands on Darla's head, and she drops Nemo's bag on a table full of tools, breaking the plastic. Gill falls off Darla's head next to Nemo. He uses a magnifying scope as a catapult to flip Nemo into the sink as he takes the secret exit by going down the drain. The dentist quickly puts Gill back into the tank where he can breathe.
Gill tells the others not to worry about Nemo because all drains lead to the ocean. Darla tries to find Nemo when the sink gets misaligned and sprays water into her face. Nemo travels through the secret exit until he reaches a water treatment filtration, a series of piping that travels on the seafloor out of the harbor. Nigel flies out of the harbor with Marlin and Dory and releases them into the water, offering his condolences. Distraught, Marlin thanks Dory for helping him and begins to swim away.
She asks him to stay with her and that her memory is better when he's around, that she doesn't want to forget. Marlin refuses and swims away, leaving her alone.
Nemo emerges from the piping and calls out for his father. He finds Dory swimming confusedly under a buoy, saying that she's lost someone but can't remember. Nemo offers to search with her, and Dory happily complies, though she doesn't recognize him. As they swim together, Dory comes upon a piece of piping and reads "Sydney" on it.
Suddenly, all of her memories come back to her, and she rushes at Nemo, hugging him fiercely, before leading him in the direction Marlin went. They find out that Marlin headed towards fishing grounds and reunite with him amongst a large school of grouper. The school of fish then cries out in panic as a large net from a fishing trawler above envelopes them.
Dory is caught up in the netting, and Nemo says that he must swim in and instruct the fish to swim down. Though Marlin fears for Nemo's safety, he lets go and allows Nemo to do what he can. Marlin instructs the panicked fish from outside the net and they all soon start swimming in synch downwards. The fishermen investigate and realize that the net is being pulled in the other direction.
Dory, Nemo and the grouper push the net towards the bottom until it finally snaps away from the boat, freeing all the fish. Marlin and Dory find Nemo under the heavy netting - Marlin is stricken with grief, believing Nemo is dead.
Nemo regains consciousness, and Marlin gently tells him that he found out that sea turtles live to be years old. Marlin and Nemo come to an understanding, and all three go back to their home in the reef.
Marlin's demeanor has changed for the better, and he is more upbeat and confident in his son's abilities. As such, Mullally was dismissed from the Finding Nemo cast. The Fargo star recorded his dialogue for an early screening of Finding Nemo , but producers ultimately felt that he lacked the warmth required for the role of the father fish. Stanton never intended to commit his voice to the final cut of Finding Nemo , but only to sub in as a placeholder until the right actor could be cast to play Crush, the easygoing sea turtle with the California accent.
The combination of a poorly cast Marlin, an unsympathetic Gill, and the running flashbacks made the earliest versions of Finding Nemo feel pretty dismal. She doesn't come up with new lines all the time," Stanton says.
She's very respectful of the written word and how much we are already beating ourselves up. That's something that you find out she gives that make it specifically Ellen. The comedienne wasn't afraid to experiment, either. How's it going? That's the X factor she brings to the table. Albert Brooks also returned as Marlin, an overprotective clownfish, while the role of Nemo was recast. Hayden Rolence took over for Alexander Gould , whose voice had matured in the last 13 years. Gould returned for Finding Dory , however, voicing delivery truck drivers Carl and Tommy.
She also befriends Bailey Ty Burrell , a beluga whale who temporarily lost his echolocation abilities.
