lessons and contexts in this day and age.
4. Themes - Finding Nemo

The Best Relationships Are Based on Trust
In the film, Nemo needed to trust in his father’s
protective side, while his father needed to trust
that his son was growing up and needed to be
given trust. His father also needed to learn to

to trust herself. Another theme can come from
this;
