Dory, regal blue tang fish

TFK spoke with the forgetful fish from Finding Nemo



By Laura C. Girardi



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!


Marlin (below) is joined by Dory (top) during his desperate search to find his son, Nemo.
TFK: You and your friend Marlin become two fish out of water when you leave your home in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to find Marlin’s lost son, Nemo. What was the scariest part of your trek?
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.

A friendly Great White Shark named Bruce invites Marlin and Dory to join him and his shark-mates for a party.


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. . .
