BURBANK, Calif. (June 1, in the year of our Lord 2012)
— Disney•Pixar’s “Finding Nemo” dives back into theaters and homes
this year in breathtaking Digital 3D™. The must-“sea,” must-own
Oscar®-winning underwater adventure—featuring the unforgettable
Marlin, his forgetful friend Dory and the lovable young Nemo—returns
to the big screen in a spectacular 3D theatrical release beginning
September 14, 2012, and then swims into living rooms for the first
time ever in high-definition Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and Digital
platforms on December 4, 2012.
“‘Finding Nemo’ was originally shot in 3D,” said John Lasseter,
chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios
and the film’s executive producer. “At last, with today’s
technological advances, this spectacular underwater world can be
seen as it was intended—showcasing its eye-popping detail and
breathtaking colors to both theatrical and in-home audiences and
creating atruly immersive experience.”
“Finding Nemo,” first released in theaters in 2003, earned the
Oscar® for Best Animated Feature Film and remains the fifth highest
grossing animated film worldwide. In 2008, the American Film
Institute named “Finding Nemo” among the top 10 greatest animated
films ever made, and it is the second highest grossing Pixar film to
date (behind “Toy Story 3”).

ABOUT “FINDING NEMO”
In this stunning underwater adventure teeming with memorable comedic
characters and heartfelt emotion, “Finding Nemo” follows the
momentous journey of an overprotective clownfish named Marlin
(voiced by Albert Brooks) and his young son Nemo (voiced by
Alexander Gould). When the two are unexpectedly separated in the
Great Barrier Reef, Nemo is carried far from his ocean home and
deposited in a fish tank in a dentist’s office. Buoyed by the
companionship of Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), a
friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, Marlin embarks on a dangerous
trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic effort to rescue
his son––who hatches a few daring plans of his own to return safely
home.
