Dory, regal blue tang fish
TFK spoke with the forgetful fish from Finding Nemo
![]() |
Something fishy is going on off Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. A clownfish named Nemo has been fishnapped! A forgetful fish named Dory steps in to help. She joins Nemo’s dad Marlin on a dangerous journey in and below the "Land Down Under" in Finding Nemo, the computer-animated adventure from Disney/Pixar. Here’s what Dory told TFK about her heroic trek to find Nemo, and...well, whatever else she managed to remember!

Dory: Well, I wasn’t scared. But I’d say Marlin was scared that we wouldn’t find little Bingo.
TFK: Nemo, not Bingo! What was it like to spend so much time with Marlin?
Dory: I was just glad to help him find his little son, Harpo.
TFK: Word in the water is that you are quite forgetful. Just why is that so?
Dory: Well, I was born with a bad memory. It runs in my family—at least I think it does. . . . I don’t remember.
TFK: What is the hardest thing to remember?
Dory: That's easy. The thing that’s hardest to remember is...um... Well, I guess NOW I have to say it's THAT, don't I?! Hee-hee.
TFK: Can you remember the best part of your journey?
Dory: I just loved when I got that pet jellyfish. He was so cute! But he had a temper, that little one did.

TFK: Who is the biggest fish in the sea?
Dory: Well, I'd have to say that is Marlin. I mean, who else could do all the amazing things he did?
TFK: You and Marlin had to go to Syndney, Australia, to rescue Nemo. What do you like best about Sydney?
Dory: Sydney? Oh, that sounds like a great place! I think little Chico lives there.
TFK: What is the best thing you have ever eaten?
Dory: Oh, easy. Kelp. I love it!
TFK: What is the worst thing you have ever eaten?
Dory: Oh, easy. Kelp. Disgusting!
TFK: What makes a regal blue tang tick?
Dory: I love to swim. When life’s got you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. . .
