![]() ![]() I, too, was reeled in by the tempo, humor, and visual splendor of the film, as one who appreciates and studies visual culture. This cast of characters, their tongue-in-cheek, witty dialogue, and appropriately colorful depictions add to the appeal and smash success of the film, as vivid and illusionistic artistry positions the viewer as a visually awed undersea explorer. The creatures are not only strikingly heterogeneous in appearance, but also have international accents or dialects and personas that convey a variety of social styles. Seagulls, pelicans, turtles, manta rays, jellyfish, squid, starfish, sharks, whales, lobsters, other curious crustaceans, and a glorious array of tropical fish in all configurations and designs animate the film's lavish oceanic world. Nemo is rescued through the joint efforts of exotic, yet familiarly goofy, ironically down-to-earth, and cleverly caricatured populations of marine creatures. The plot follows a young clown fish, Nemo (Alexander Gould), who is separated from his father, Marlin (Albert Brooks), by the human intervention of a scuba diver and held captive in the office fish tank of a Sydney, Australia dentist (Bill Hunter). "Finding Nemo" surfaced as a characteristic Disney epic adventure and heart-warming coming of age tale with resplendent twists. Recently having a second life on DVD, the film has become the most financially successful film of 2003 and the largest grossing animated feature of all time, outshining Disney/Pixar's previous hits Toy Story I and II and Monsters, Inc., as well as its competing summer blockbusters. The animated feature "Finding Nemo" swept the box office last summer, and audiences of all ages and critics alike were overwhelmed by how a seemingly simple story had made such a splash.

When he tires of the Caribbean he should return safefly to his Norwegian home cache "Bølgeskvulp". He would much like to be photographed in Cairns, anywhere in the Caribbean, and really any interesting place he visits on the way. But he wants to get home, too, to one or more of the many Caribbean islands where he truly belongs (Team Amundsen has seen his pals in Puerto Rico, but there's many other places, too). He strictly doesn't belong in Australia - he is a Caribbean popular aquarium fish and would have been an invasive species in the wild in Australia, which is a good reason why he should stay on land in Cairns. Gurgle hasn't been to Northern Queensland before - he was a Sydney dentist's aquarium fish and the only wild waters he have seen is Sydney Harbour. Gurgle is a royal gramma Gramma loreto (also called fairy basslet), a small (3-8 cm) but conspicuously colorful reef fish. He's keen to travel to Cairns - gateway to the GBR - to visit Nemo and his other friends there. Gurgle is a 'Finding Nemo' character, and a coral reef fish. ![]()
