On July 28, 2003, Finding Nemo was announced for its first DVD release on November 4, 2003. Like Monsters, Inc., the DVD lasted for a very long time until 2012, when both films got theatrical re-releases in 3D.
In February 2004, Finding Nemo became the #1 DVD of all-time, with over 24 million copies of the film sold domestically.
Synopsis[]
From the Academy Award-winning creators of Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., it's time to dive into Finding Nemo -- a hilarious adventure that takes you into the breathtaking underwater world of Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
When Nemo, a young clownfish, is unexpectedly carried far from his home, his overprotective father, Marlin (Albert Brooks), and Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish, embark on an epic journey that leads to encounters with vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish and hungry seagulls!

Fisharades:
In this game, you must guess what the school of fish are about to create. There are 32 different objects the fish can make, but for each game, you only need to get 10 correct in a row to win. Scores are tallied almost the same way as in the Spellcaster Knowledge from the second Harry Potter movie (unless you guess too slowly or a bit too quickly). For example, if you give seven correct answers very fast, Crush will give you a 4/5 on the Fish Score Meter (equivalent to "Good" in the Spellcaster Knowledge).

In Other Countries[]
In these versions, the "Making Nemo" documentary and all the design galleries are on Disc 2, the teaser trailer for The Incredibles is moved to Disc 1, and there is no pan-and-scan version of the film available. This makes Disc 2 just a "bonus disc" and not a DVD with an entire feature film in it.
