Finding Nemo, 2003
In this megahit, Dory, voiced by Ellen Degeneres, right, joins Marlin (Albert Brooks) in the search for his missing son. The dangers posed by sharks, jellyfish and seagulls became an afterthought as they just kept swimming to P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney in hopes of finding the clownfish's lost progeny.
