The film ends with the statement: "For Glenn McQueen, 1960-2002." As noted in the DVD version of the film, McQueen, a longtime supervising animator at Pixar Studios, created such characters as "Woody" from Toy Story. Closing credits include a lengthy roster of acknowledgments, which includes several administrative departments, a list of babies born during production, and institutions such as the Aquarium of the Pacific and the City and County of San Francisco. An additional recognition reads: "Special thanks, Adam P. Summers, Fabulous Fish Guy University of California-Irvine."
Press materials for the film state that Summers provided staff members with insights into marine life by holding "essentially graduate-level ichthyology courses." The closing credits also mention Finding Nemo books, video games, merchandise and soundtrack availability. After the credits end, an animated epilogue features a small fish being pursued by a large predator, which the little fish eats, followed by the statement: "Created and produced at Pixar Animation Studios, Emeryville, California." Several crew members also provided additional voices to the film, including writer-director Andrew Stanton, who provided the voice for "Crush."
The following information, unless otherwise noted, was gathered from studio press materials and information provided on the 2003 Finding Nemo Collector's Edition DVD release: Stanton first conceived the story of a father fish searching for his lost son during a 1992 visit to Marine World in Vallejo, CA. He combined his experience there with his memories of a fish tank in his dentist's office, as well as his personal concerns about being an overprotective father to his son. Stanton co-wrote all four previous Pixar features and was the co-director of A Bug's Life (1998). Finding Nemo marked his solo feature directing debut.
A crew of 180 people at Pixar Studios performed all of the animation for the film. Pixar's technical and creative team designed many new, innovative techniques to depict underwater imagery. Research and development began with identifying the key elements to underwater environments, including lighting, surge and reflections. Each animator was licensed in scuba diving for dives in Monterey and Hawaii, visited and studied various marine life aquariums, and watched Jacques Cousteau videos and underwater scenes in previous Walt Disney films, such as 1989's The Little Mermaid, for inspiration.
In addition to analyzing and recreating realistic fish motion, six technical teams, specializing in the different settings used in the film, developed the individualized underwater environments. For instance, the reef scenes used a stylized, vibrantly colorful look, while the jellyfish scenes used a shading system the animators called "transblurrency," and the interior whale shots required constantly mobile, organic images of splashing water.
Similarly, the underwater sound effects required a break with traditional Foley methods, which normally involves individuals approximating footsteps and other land-based noises utilizing ordinary materials. Many of the effects in Finding Nemo were manufactured, including the sound of "Marlin" and "Dory" bouncing on jellyfish, which sound designer Gary Rydstrom created by tapping his finger on a hot-water bottle. Other sounds were caught during real-life experiences, such as the dental drill sound, which was recorded while Rydstrom's assistant, Dee Selby, had a cavity filled. In addition, according to a June 26, 2003 Daily Variety article, Rydstrom relied on the sound library at the Skywalker studios for extra sound effects, and introduced the Kyma digital signal processor, which merged digitally stored sounds with noises Rydstrom made with his mouth. This technology was used in the shark chase scene, for which the designer combined the word "Nemo" with water noises. Thomas Newman's musical score was recorded with a 105-piece orchestra.
The DVD adds that Stanton named the character of brat "Darla" after a producer of the 2002 Pixar film Monsters, Inc., Darla Anderson, who frequently played practical jokes on the director. After three years of work on the film, the first preview screening took place in October 2002, and received the highest ratings in Pixar history. The DVD version of Finding Nemo includes several deleted scenes, including one in which Marlin tells "Nemo" about his old home and Nemo recalls his mother's face; one in which the sharks play "ball" with a mine; and one in which Nemo learns that the story "Gill" told about his past was fabricated from a children's book.
Reviews of the film were uniformly admiring. The Los Angeles Times critic commented on the "rapturous undersea-world-of-our-dreams colors" of the Great Barrier Reef and the "level of smarter-than-the-room humor noticeably wacky and sophisticated for studio family fare," while Variety called the film "a buoyant adventure that entertainingly continues the Disney/Pixar winning streak."
On August 25, 2003, Daily Variety reported that Finding Nemo's box office had at that point reached $329.8 million domestically, making it the top-grossing cartoon of all time. The picture's success affected the already planned negotiations between Pixar and Disney, whose long-term distribution contract with the animation studio ends in 2005. [That contract affords Disney a distribution fee plus 50% of distribution-side box office in exchange for providing half of production costs for all Pixar features.] According to an August 8, 2003 Los Angeles Times article, Pixar executive Steve Jobs wanted to be allowed to retain ownership of the studio's films and pay Disney only a distribution fee. Although previous to Finding Nemo's success, Disney was reluctant to agree to the new terms, many trade articles noted that Pixar now had more hope of a favorable contract. The Los Angeles Times piece quoted Jobs as saying that he would prefer "to stay tied to Disney" but would look elsewhere if necessary.
When Disney released Finding Nemo on VHS and DVD on November 4, 2003, it set the first-day sales record for home video, with Hollywood Reporter reporting an estimated eight million copies sold. In addition to being selected by AFI as one of the top ten films of 2003, Finding Nemo received the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated in the categories of Original Screenplay, Original Score and Sound. The picture was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Picture-Musical or Comedy; was named best animated film of the year by The National Board of Review; was selected as one of the Broadcast Film Critics Association's top ten films of the year as well as their pick for best animated film; and was listed on People and Newsweek magazines' top ten lists of 2003.
