Once Upon A Time There Was Every Day Until One Day Because of That

Marlin was a very protective fish father who worried about dangers in the open water and didn't allow his son Nemo to swim there. One day, Nemo swam out and was taken by a scuba diver. This prompted Marlin to travel into the open water to find Nemo, encountering sharks and jellyfish. Marlin was eventually reunited with Nemo and had to trust Nemo to rescue Dory from a fishing net. Marlin learned to be less overprotective and give Nemo freedom to learn on his own.
