Finding Nemo

I think the movie, Finding Nemo, fits Aristotle's definition of a comedy. This movie is about a clown fish named Marlin who loses his wife and family and is left with one surviving child for him to raise, Nemo. I think Marlin classifies as the comedic hero in this movie. People assume he is funny because he is a "clown" fish, but ironically he is not. His son has a small weak fin that he feels insecure about. Him and Nemo don't exactly fit in with the other fish and on top of that Marlin is super protective of his son. This ultimately leads to Nemo acting rebellious and getting taken by Australian fishermen. The movie proceeds with Marlin's journey to find Nemo.

The many sea creature characters in Finding Nemo classify as ordinary people. Marlin becomes friends with a fish named Dory. Dory suffers from short term memory loss. Marlin and Dory encounter a shark who struggles with his new vegetarian diet. While trapped in a tank in a dentist's office, Nemo encounters many fish who have flaws. These flaws include being scared of their surroundings, hating filth, having an obsession with something, having a temper, and thinking their reflection is their sister. All these characters struggle with things that ordinary people typically do.

Finding Nemo ends with a happy ending. Marlin and his son, Nemo, are reunited and all the remaining fish in the dentist's office were able to escape. Him and his son finally fit in with the other fish. They learn that everybody has flaws and it is okay to be different.
