Great Barrier Reef is an American animated television series that premiered on Disney Channel and Disney+ on August 6, 2023, as part of the Finding Nemo franchise. The series takes place after the events of the sequel Finding Dory, showing the many misadventures Nemo, Dory, and Marlin have with their friends - old and new - from their home in the reef, to the big blue and beyond.
Despite retaining the charm and traditional concepts of the original movies, the show often has comedic moments, varying from slapstick to random moments. Unlike the two movies, the show is 2D-animated rather than CGI.
