Finding Nemo...

We are using Finding Nemo as an example of Propp's theory.

1) Hero - Marlin (Nemo's Dad) - he is on a quest to find his son Nemo
2) Villian - P. Sherman (The Dentist) - The dentist is the character that takes Nemo away from Marlin
3) Donor - Crush & Squirt (Turtles) - The turtles provide Marlin and Dory with information to help them find Nemo
4) False Hero - Bruce (Sharks) - At first we think the sharks would be able to help Marlin on his quest however Bruce's hunger gets the better of him and Marlin and Dory have to run away from him 
5) Dispatcher - Marlin - Marlin is motivated by himself to go on the quest because he is all alone without his wife and son
6) Helper - Dory - Dory stays with Marlin for the whole journey to help him find his son
7) Princess - Nemo - In this story Nemo is the Princess character, here the expected gender role has changed as he is male not female
8) Father - Marlin
