Summary: Colorful, fun, and brilliant!
Review: Finding Nemo has absolutely brilliant, vibrant color! FN I must say is one of my all time favorite "cartoons" by far! I loved the story line and the ending made me so happy. This movie is funny while also letting you know how important family is and that hurtful words need not be, when it comes to love of family. Well worth the price and my time!

Summary: Found Nemo
Review: Finding Nemo is a breath of fresh air, in a summer (2003) of dissapointing movies, and less than perfect sequels. Nemo is another masterpiece from Disney and Pixar. Although not as good as "Toy Story", Nemo is still easily the best picture of the year so far. Entertaining on all levels, as well as fun for the whole family.

Summary: Pixar guys know what they are doing...
Review: Pixar have been coming up with all these incredible animations for the past few years. What one can do with the computers is beautiful and this one is a good example of their high quality artwork. The computer graphics are so nicely made and the story is both educational and fun for kids and it is also offering adults a good couple of hours of entertainment. My personal favorite were the turtles, "dude it's awesome!"

Summary: Great overall movie
Review: I went to see this movie in the theater and was sooned turned off by it from the 2 kindergarten classes that were in the theater (50-60 screaming children with 5-6 adults trying to calm them all down) Later when this movie came out on DVD, i bought it to see if i would like it. I DO !!! This movie has some great moments for both adults and children. Adults will pick up on a couple more of the subitle jokes, while kids seem to like the silly parts and the movie still teaches a lesson, and while you knew that the lesson was there it wasn't plastered everywhere. Making it easier to just enjoy the movies

Summary: Good, but no cigar
Review: The people who reviewed this and gave it 1 star are clearly deluded. It is a good film by any standards. However it is not a classic, even though Pixar spent so much loving care in the creation. The visuals are stunning. There is no argument with that, anyone not blown away really has not followed cinema for long enough! The graphic realisation, colour and depth are truly of the next level. My problem is really in the fact that Pixar have set such a high standard for themselves before. Whilst I enjoyed it,and there is much that is brilliant here, I found that I didnt enjoy it in the same way as Toy Story 1 and 2, Shrek (I know not Pixar!) or Monsters Inc. Heres why; The story is very linear in a classic Disney way. The gags are there, but enter and exit rather than are part of the story. Other Pixars and films like this had some surreal left field plot lines which elevated the movie to another level. There was no real bad guy/girl which meant that there was little counterbalance to the overall story. Dory - DeGeneris. God, what an annoying character. The monotone voice, and the whale noise skit was embarassing. No one over 5 laughed at that in the cinema. The makers clearly thought that as DeGeneris was in it they would overtwrite her part. Terrible. On the other hand the fish tank scenes were totally underwritten with very very few gags. It also felt like the main story of the search for Nemo was really struggling to come up with things to carry it along. The sharks, who were genuinely funny, are criminally underused, whereas the annoying Dory is badly overused. The father/son dynamic doesnt work any empathy up really, apart from the first 10 minutes when his mother is killed and father/son are left. Ok so it is a good film, there is no denying, but it isnt up there in the top ten animated. I hope Pixars next one remembers that they are fans of the Simpsons and not Bambi!!!!!!!

Summary: "He's Looking For His Son... Harpo, Fabio, Bingo, Elmo Etc"
Review: Any parent of a young child knows, that inevitably their child will latch on to some film or TV program and insist on seeing it oh say... three hundred times a week (O.K., I might be exaggerating a bit...but just a little, bit)! In my case I have been very lucky, because my two year old toddler has become enamored beyond belief with the Pixar animated film, "Finding Nemo". I say "lucky" because if I'm going to sit down and view one disc hundreds of times on the old DVD player, then it might as well be something that's beautifully artistic, well written, imaginatively directed and featuring some of the best comedians and charactor actors in Hollywood as well as the international acting community. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if your age 2 or 102 your going to enjoy this movie. For anyone who's been hiding in an enime since the film's 2003 theatrical release it is an underwater story of a timid, over protective, widowed, clown fish named Marlin (neurotically played by Albert Brooks), who goes on an adventurous/comedic journey with a absent-minded, blue tang (hilariously played by Ellen DeGeneres) in search of his only son, Nemo (Alexander Gould), who has been stolen from the coral reef, apon which they live. Meanwhile, Nemo is trapped in an Australian, Dentist's office fish tank. He and the other aquatic inhabitants of the tank (including the voices of William DeFoe, Brad Garrett and Allison Janney) are attempting various plots to escape (a'la Steve McQueen's "The Great Escape") and get back to the ocean ("All drains lead to the Ocean").Along the way, the film imparts the ideal that although we still have to be protective & vigilante of our children, we also have to let go, just a little bit, to let them experience, what life has to offer. Where do you start with what makes this film great? Do we start with the brilliant, computer animation? This is just a visually beautiful film to watch. It is like a painting in motion.You could turn the sound off and just serenely watch the changes in light and shadows throughout the film. It really seems like you are watching something under the sea. How about the great script? As, mentioned before, I have watched this movie many times and have yet to tire of the plot, well rounded characters or fast and funny dialogue.It's fun to try and pick up the pop cultural references made in the script (a shark named Bruce for all the "Jaws" fans out there). It seems like every time I watch this film, I discover something new in the script that gives me a chuckle. Also the casting in this film is just perfect! It's unbelievable how much comedic chemistry, actors, Albert Brooks and Ellen Degenres have together. You could close your eyes and listen to these two banter back and forth and it would still be thouroughly entertaining. Kudos also for all the actors, who do the voices for the fish in the tank. I love the gravity in actor, William DeFoe's line readings as Gil, the angel fish, who acts as ring leader for the bunch. Brad Garrett (of "Everyone Loves Raymond" fame)is equally good as a comically, deep voiced, blow fish. Finally, I want to mention Composer, Thomas Newman's wonderful musical score, that adds so much to the story and it's emotional impact.It leaves a lump in my throat everytime I hear it! I truely believe this film will historically go on to become an animated movie classic in the same way that "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Pinnochio" and "Fantasia" have. This is great film that belongs in any DVD collection. Highly recommended for viewers young and old alike!

Summary: Good, if you like this sort of thing.
Review: I do not like computer-animated children's films like Shrek, Monster's Inc., etc., but I bought Finding Nemo because many respected reviewers had placed it on their Top Ten lists. The animation was terrific, of course, but the simple characterizations, simple story and contrived 'hollywood' humor left me bored and fast-forwarding to the credits. This film is no different than Shrek, Ice Age, and the other modern kids' comedies. Not bad, just not up my alley.

Summary: One of the greatest movies of all time!
