It also became the highest-grossing animated film at the time of its release, and was the second-highest-grossing film of 2003, earning a total of $871 million worldwide by the end of its initial theatrical run.

Premiering in Los Angeles on May 18, Finding Nemo was released in theaters in the United States on May 30, 2003. Thomas Newman composed the score for the film. To ensure that the movements of the fish in the film were believable, the animators took a crash course in fish biology and oceanography. The inspiration for Finding Nemo sprang from multiple experiences, going back to Stanton's childhood, when he loved going to the dentist to see the fish tank, assuming that the fish were from the ocean and wanted to go home. Pre-production of the film began in early 1997. Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and comes to terms with Nemo taking care of himself. It tells the story of an overprotective clownfish named Marlin (Brooks) who, along with a forgetful regal blue tang named Dory (DeGeneres), searches for his missing son Nemo (Gould).

Directed by Andrew Stanton with co-direction by Lee Unkrich, the screenplay was written by Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds from a story by Stanton. (If you’ve maxed out your daily jump time but still need a safe place for baby to play, try a playard, a play mat, or an activity gym.Finding Nemo is a 2003 American computer-animated comedy-drama adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. And even though watching your kiddo happily bounce around is pretty fun, you’ll want to limit jumper use to about 10 to 15 minutes per day more time than that will put undue stress on your little one’s joints and delay the natural development like core strength and motor development that occurs when your baby simply plays on the floor. They can be placed anywhere in the house, but they tend to take up more room.īoth designs require that your child can hold their head upright unassisted, which means you’ll get the most use out of your jumper when your little one is between six months to a year old. Freestanding jumpers are all-in-one structure with straps that attach the jumping portion to built-in rods.

(Tip: If your house has really wide moldings or other unusual features, doorway jumpers might not work with them.) They take up less space, but can be inconvenient if you need to walk through said doorway on a regular basis. Doorway jumpers have straps that clamp to the top of the doorway.(And maybe even a few minutes to let you get a few things done-while still keeping an eye on the bouncing, of course.) The result? Huge smiles and a ridiculous amount of laughter. These seats, attached to elastic straps, let your little one use their toes to push off the ground and get a little air. There are few things that make babies shriek with joy like jumpers.
