Finding Nemo is a 2003 American animated comedy-drama adventure film[2] produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton (in his feature directorial debut) with co-direction by Lee Unkrich, the screenplay was written by Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds from a story by Stanton. The film stars the voices of Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres, Alexander Gould, Willem Dafoe, and Geoffrey Rush. 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). Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and comes to terms with Nemo taking care of himself.
Lobby Cards are promotional photographs printed on cardstock paper. They were meant to be displayed in the massive lobbies of movie palaces before the film came out.
Lobby cards fall into the broad collectible category of 'paper ephemera'. Paper ephemera encompasses anything printed on paper and intended for the trashcan. And unlike a lot of ephemeral collectibles, Lobby Cards died out before the collector market really took off.
This means that the supply never had a chance to get over-saturated. Even genuine one sheet movie posters tend to be over-printed these days! This means that lobby cards remain highly collectible to this day.
