Exploring the Reef
Exploring the Reef 2003 is a humorous short documentary film included on the second disc of the Finding Nemo DVD. It features JeanMichel Cousteau in a documentary film he is trying to make about coral reefs, but Marlin, Dory and Nemo keep interrupting him.
When Cousteau comes back, he has calmed down and talks with the three fish about coral that have suffered from coral bleaching, while the whitened coral appears on screen. The next topic is coral reproduction. Dory frantically swims to each new egg to say Happy Birthday, Marlin paternally covers Nemos eyes and Cousteau talks about how there are so many eggs, that even the hungriest fish cannot possibly eat all of them. He concludes by talking about how we must all work to preserve the beauty of the coral reef. Suddenly, Nemo and the other two fish interrupt him, inadvertently summarizing the message of the entire film during their arguing. JeanMichel gets mad again and the camera cuts to him aboard his boat at night. Humiliated that he has been upstaged by fish, Cousteau mutters that this would have never happened to Papa. Before the credits, Nemo tells the viewer about JeanMichel Cousteaus website oceanfutures.org.
