Summary: A Good nice, Disney Film.
Review: Finding Nemo is dubbed the best and most successful Disney movie (in my opinion Beauty and the Beast will always be the best). While it is the biggest success Disney has ever made it isn't quite the "Best childrens movie ever". To those who gave it one star because of the excuse "It's a kids movie" my only questions would be, if you knew it was a kids movie why did you go see it? Well, we all know Disney makes family oriented films and Finding Nemo is one of the better ones. The movie begins where we see Nemo's mother and father. Soon they're attacked by a shark and Nemo's brother and sisters and his mother are all eaten. Not a nice start but the movie got better. I wasn't disgusted with it but it seems that Disney has parental death in ALL their hit classics! We all remember "Bambi" right? And then of course there's the other one that stands out: "The Lion King". Even if we don't see it, the parental death is there (Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin had parental deaths but they weren't mentioned nor shown). Aside from that the movie gets better. Nemo's father, Mervin, after witnessing the death of his wife becomes scared of the ocean. Nemo, who is the only surviving child with a severed fin, wants to embrace the ocean. But when Nemo is taken by a group of divers near Sydney, Austrailia, it's up to Mervin to find him. The movie is pretty entertaining at times and funny at other times. It is pretty heartwarming too. Of course as the movie progresses we see a change in Mervin's character. He goes from being scared to being pretty brave. There are other characters as well. Dory is obviously there to provide comic relief. She has a short-term memory problem but again, we see a change as the movie progresses. Actually, to be picky for a minute, when we first meet her, her short term memory is OVERDONE! Then they loosen up a bit as the movie goes on. Still enjoyable. The voice talents are great! While Finding Nemo doesn't rise above Toy Story the movie certainly shows a lot of entertainment for younger audiences and family alike. I loved every minute of this movie. Now when will Disney make a great, spectacular movie without parental death and BOTH parents make it thorugh the movie?

Summary: Did anyone else notice the little anti-American remark?
Review: It happens when our two fish heroes are hauled to that shark "ten-step" meeting, Nemo's father tell about what happened to his son, that he was taken by human divers. The sharks reply about the divers, "they think they own everything. Yeah, probably Americans."
From there the cartoon went downhill from there for me.

Summary: A good, fun cartoon.
Review: This is a cute show. It's amazing, but my 6 month old, baby girl LOVES this show. I'm sure it is only for the bright colors, etc... but it's fun to watch her look at all the shapes and colors. I quite enjoy the movie myself. It does have adult humor, but none that I find offensive to small children. If you think your children are being corrupted, you're overestimating their comprehension a tad bit. There is a reason why this is the best seller. IT's a fun movie.

Summary: Disney's finest animated film to date
Review: I finally got around to see "Finding Nemo" over the holiday weekend when I received a copy of it for Xmas. I always had a love for aquatic life, especially marine aquatic life. Clown fish are one of the most beautiful salt-water fishes I have ever seen. I thought it was a great idea when Disney and Pixar made a film that was based around a clown fish and his missing son. I didn't really think that it was possible for Disney to put out a film that could out do "The Lion King", my personal favorite Disney film of all time. Well, I was wrong. "Finding Nemo" was such a delight to watch, the film has now pushed "The Lion King" into 2nd place as my favorite Disney film. The movie isn't too scary for young children except maybe in the opening sequence when Marlin and his mate Coral encounter a hungry barracuda. I could have easily just pushed mute on my remote control and the film still would have been great. "Finding Nemo" is visual eye candy. The animation from Pixar studios is breathtaking to say the very least. There were moments in the film when I thought what I was seeing was real. The facial expressions of the charcaters totally made me forget that I was watching an animated film. Ellen Degeneres as the forgetful Dory was priceless. Ellen's comic timing is impeccable. She is probably the standout charcater in the film for me. Albert Brooks was perfectly cast as the overprotective, neurotic father Marlin. Albert Brooks has always been in my book a highly underrated comediac actor. His neuroticism was well played out in Marlin. One of my favorite characters is Peach the starfish (voiced by Allison Janney) and the vegetarian sharks (now there's an oxymoron for you), and the sea turtle Crush. I didn't know until I saw the credits that William DeFoe was the voice for Gil. And Bloat the porcupine fish was hilarious. Between the two stories that were going in the film, I can't really pick a favorite between the two because they are so entertaining. There was nothing about this film that I could find nothing wrong. The storywriting was excellent. The cast of actors were wonderfully witty. And the animation was nothing short of amazing, particularly the jellyfish scene and when the fish were caught in the fisherman's net. The scenes looked so realistic that I forgot that I was watching an animated film. When Oscars comes around the corner next year, "Finding Nemo" better be recognized for the animation work (at least). The animated short "Knick Knack" prior to the film was very cute to say the very least. "Finding Nemo" is my favorite Xmas gift I got this year. Anyone who didn't enjoy this film obviously isn't a kid at heart. "Finding Nemo" is truly one of the best (animated) films I have ever seen in my 20 some years of life.

Summary: Excellent, But Not For All Ages
Review: Usually, when one sees the phrase, "Not for all ages," it means, "Might be a bit much for young ones." Not here. This movie has many excellent qualities: good voice-performances, incredible animation, lots of action, vivid colors, endearing characters, and good music. So, why not five stars? When I rented this film, I was screening it with the anticipation I'd buy it. I was looking for a film like "Shrek" or "Ice Age" that operated on many levels and would, as it was originally advertised, appeal to all ages. What I saw was an excellent children's movie, and an excellent movie for parents to view with their children, but also a movie with a plot that was too simplistic for me. The plot is cohesive and the story remains true to it, but it has one story-line and no layers to it. I recommend this film, to buy, for young children and for parents with young children. For everyone else, I'd advise that you rent-and-view before considering buying it.

Summary: Finding Nemo is Finding Hope and Love in the world
Review: This is one of the finest films ever made. So laugh out loud funny and so irristably heart warming you come away at the end with a sense of hope. Wonderful is all I can say. Disney/Pixar has once again outdone themselves; they just keep getting better. All throughout the movie you come away with the sense that the crew of Finding Nemo really tried to win you heart and really gave their all in the movie. Everyone can relate to this and I agree with some of the other reviews that this was the absolute best movie of 2003, fins down!

Summary: Imaginitively Written Characters
Review: I have always purchased such Disney animated DVDs that were the classics I grew up with such as Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty, etc, released as a Special Edition or Collector's Edition. Finding Nemo I bought partly for the Disney name, but also because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I was very surprised by how much I liked this film! Disney films are surprisingly a little more tragic and frightening than I remembered, but also a lot more funny. Dory (Ellen Degeneres) is definitely much-needed comedic relief for some of the rather intense "getaway" sequences. Finding Nemo I don't think I would recommend for a child under 5 (the sharks and intensity of some scenes might scare some little ones). However I think this film was beautifully and imaginitively written. Each different type of fish had its own personality and "cultural" differences, which merely introduces examples of tolerance and multiculturalism. If you have NO idea what I'm talking about, go buy the DVD, it's really worth it.

Summary: PIXAR Tops Themselves Again!
Review: A clown fish named Marlin (Albert Brooks) and his wife Coral are attacked by a barracuda. It eats Coral, along with all but one of the 400 eggs she'd laid. Marlin is devastated. He raises the one surviving fish and names him Nemo. Marlin is totally paranoid and afraid to let Nemo out of his sight. One day, Nemo ventures too far out into the open ocean and is captured by humans. This begins a great adventure, as Marlin sets out to find his son. Along the way, he encounters toothy sharks, a forest of stinging jellyfish, current-riding "surfer dude" sea turtles, and a goofy blue fish named Dory (Ellen Degeneres). Meanwhile, Nemo's been imprisoned in a dentist office aquarium, awaiting certain doom at the hands of the dentist's bratty 8yo niece! Will Marlin ever see his son again? Watch and see! Highly recommended...

Summary: Delightful family fare
Review: This is the endearing story of a father fish named Marlin who raises his baby son Nemo only to lose him to a scuba diver. Nemo is deposited in an aquarium in a dentist's office where he shares a tank with some friendly fish who are just as eager to return to the ocean as he is. They encourage Nemo to help save them by risking his own life despite the fact that he has an undersized fin which makes swimming difficult for him. Meanwhile his father has become friends with a blue fish named Dorrie who is absent-minded, and direction-challenged but totally loveable. The two of them brave a variety of dangers in the ocean in order to rescue Nemo. The production of the film is expertly done with beautiful colors and fascinating fish in the undersea world which the producers have created. There's enough adventure to keep adults interested as they watch this film with their children, and it adds up to a delightful viewing experience.
