Cast & crew
A beautiful movie worth watching as a family. Honestly, watching *Nemo* now as a mom makes me reflect on how important it is for our children to take their own steps. Yes, with our guidance, but we shouldn't take those steps for them. Without a doubt, I would do exactly what Marlin did for his son, even if it meant facing many of my own fears. An excellent movie!
