The Film: Finding Nemo (2003)

The Moment: Blending the comic with the terrifying, Andrew Stanton’s first directorial effort pitches the meeting between Dory, Marlin and three self-proclaimed vegetarian sharks perfectly.

And when Bruce (given wonderful, visceral life by Barry Humphries) cracks under the pressure and resorts to his natural killing machine status, it results in a breathless underwater pipe pursuit.

In Their Own Words: “We originally had an extra sequence in there, with the sharks playing volleyball using mines,” recalls Stanton. “But Jim Reardon pushed me to include a chase through the sunken submarine instead. And I am so thankful for that.”

“I think this is the first time we put blood in a CG movie!”
