177 free Finding Nemo trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
58 free Finding Nemo trivia questions with answers. Finding Nemo is one of the most rewatched films ever made, and it rewards attention: the Psycho violins under Darla, the seagulls modelled on a Wallace & Gromit penguin, the fact that Marlin's voice belonged to a different actor for most of production. This quiz covers the story and characters, the quotes everyone can recite, the voice cast, the making of the film at Pixar, its box office and Oscar records, and a handful of questions on Finding Dory and on the real clownfish and reef that inspired it. It works for family movie night, a classroom reward, or a themed pub quiz round. Easy questions come first in spirit if not in order: kids who know the film will score well on the plot, while the production and history questions will separate the true fans. Every answer has been checked against a primary source, so you can play with confidence and settle arguments about how old Crush really is.

Q 01What kind of fish is Marlin, Nemo's overprotective father?
Clownfish
Real clownfish live inside stinging sea anemones, protected by a mucus coating that stops the anemone's barbs from firing.
Q 02Which comedian voices Dory, the forgetful fish who helps Marlin?
Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen DeGeneres voices Dory; Stanton wrote the part with her in mind, and she reprised it 13 years later in Finding Dory (2016).
Q 03What condition does Dory famously suffer from?
Short-term memory loss
Dory has short-term memory loss, forgetting conversations within moments. Despite that, she can read human writing, which lets her recall the dentist's address from the diver's mask.
Q 04In which Australian city is the dentist's office where Nemo ends up?
Sydney
The dentist's office is in Sydney: the address on the diver's mask ends in 'Sydney', and the film's third act plays out in Sydney Harbour beside the Opera House.
Q 05What is the address Dory keeps repeating from the diver's mask?
P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way
The mask reads 'P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney'. Dory repeats it obsessively, and it is how Marlin learns where his son has been taken.
Q 06In Finding Nemo's opening, which predator knocks Marlin out and takes Coral and all but one of the eggs?
A barracuda
A barracuda attacks the anemone; Marlin is knocked out and wakes to find Coral and all but one damaged egg gone, the loss that drives his overprotectiveness.
Q 07Which studio produced Finding Nemo?
Pixar Animation Studios
Pixar Animation Studios made it as its fifth feature, after Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc., and it became the studio's biggest hit to that point.
Q 08Who directed Finding Nemo?
Andrew Stanton
Stanton also voices Crush the sea turtle, and went on to direct WALL-E and Finding Dory.
Q 09In what year was Finding Nemo released in theaters?
2003
Finding Nemo opened on May 30, 2003; its DVD followed on November 4 the same year.
Q 10Which shark leads the 'Fish are friends, not food' support group?
Bruce
Bruce, the great white, leads the group with Anchor the hammerhead and Chum the mako; his name nods to the animatronic shark in Jaws (1975).
Q 11What nickname does Crush give Marlin when he wakes up on the turtle's shell?
Jellyman
Crush dubs him 'Jellyman' after the stings that knocked him out, and the turtles use the name for the rest of the ride down the current.
Q 12Who voices Marlin?
Albert Brooks
Albert Brooks voices Marlin. Another actor had already recorded most of the dialogue before Andrew Stanton recast the part with Brooks, a change the director said saved the film.
Q 13Which actor originally recorded most of Marlin's dialogue before being replaced?
William H. Macy
William H. Macy was the first Marlin and had recorded most of the dialogue before Andrew Stanton replaced him with Albert Brooks, who embraced playing a clownfish who isn't funny.
Q 21What is Gill's plan for getting the fish out of the dentist's office?
Clog the filter so it must be cleaned
The plan is foiled when the dentist installs a self-cleaning filter while the fish sleep.
Q 22What is the mock volcano at the centre of the tank called during Nemo's initiation?
Mount Wannahockaloogie
The volcano is Mount Wannahockaloogie, a pun on hocking a loogie. Nemo must swim through its bubbling 'ring of fire' to be accepted into the Tank Gang.
Q 23What nickname does the Tank Gang give Nemo?
Shark Bait
The name comes from the pufferfish's chant at the initiation: 'Shark bait, hoo ha ha!'.
Q 14Which Oscar-nominated actor voices Gill, the scarred leader of the Tank Gang?
Willem Dafoe
Willem Dafoe, Oscar-nominated for Platoon (1986) and Shadow of the Vampire (2000), voices Gill, the scarred tank veteran who masterminds the escape plan.
Q 15What species of fish is Gill?
Moorish idol
Real Moorish idols eat mostly sponges, which is one reason they do so poorly in captivity.
Q 16Which Australian actor voices Nigel the pelican?
Geoffrey Rush
Geoffrey Rush, Best Actor winner for Shine, voices Nigel. The film leans on Australian talent throughout: Barry Humphries and Eric Bana voice two of the three sharks.
Q 17Which member of the Tank Gang is a pufferfish?
Bloat
Bloat is voiced by Brad Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond and presides over the tank's 'ring of fire' initiation.
Q 18What kind of creature is Jacques, the French-accented member of the Tank Gang?
A cleaner shrimp
Jacques is a cleaner shrimp, voiced by Pixar story artist Joe Ranft. Fittingly, in Finding Dory's post-credits scene he is the only Tank Gang member not coated in algae.
Q 19What is Peach, the Tank Gang member who watches the dentist through the glass?
A sea star
Peach is a sea star who clings to the glass and reports on the dentist's patients. She is voiced by Allison Janney, then starring in The West Wing.
Q 20What is the name of the dentist's niece, feared by every fish in the tank?
Darla
Darla, the dentist's niece, is the tank's nightmare: her last pet fish died after she shook its bag too hard, and Nemo is meant to be her birthday present.
Q 24Marlin and Dory wake up riding which ocean current with Crush and his turtles?
The East Australian Current
The East Australian Current carries them. It is a real current that flows south from the Coral Sea along Australia's east coast, which is why the turtles ride it toward Sydney.
Q 25How old does Crush the sea turtle say he is?
150
Marlin later gets furious that a schoolmate named Sandy Plankton told Nemo sea turtles live to 100, insisting 'He was 150! Not 100!'.
Q 26Who provides the voice of Crush?
Andrew Stanton
The director voiced the laid-back turtle himself, and Crush later got his own Disney park attractions, Turtle Talk with Crush and Crush's Coaster.
Q 27What is the name of Crush's son?
Squirt
Squirt is Crush's son, the baby turtle who briefs Marlin and Dory on leaving the current: 'First, find your exit buddy.'
Q 28What kind of animal swallows Marlin and Dory near the end of their journey?
A blue whale
It is a blue whale, the largest animal ever to live; the pair are carried in its mouth all the way to Sydney Harbour.
Q 29What single word do the harbour seagulls shout?
Mine!
The seagulls shout only 'Mine!', a chorus of greed voiced by director Andrew Stanton; the whole flock ends up beak-first in a boat's sail after chasing Nigel.
Q 30What does Dory name the baby jellyfish she tries to befriend?
Squishy
'I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine' ends with a sting and the two fish racing through a jellyfish forest.
