Summary: Righteous!
Review: This is one of the cutest movies ever. The story is sweet and heartwarming, Disney's trademark. Ellen Degeneres does a great job of voice acting an absent minded fish. This movie is really just hilarious. My favorite part is all the scenes with crush. Total surfer guy dude! This is a great family movie but it's also fun to watch for anyone.

Summary: Pixar's Pixilating Just Short of Perfection
Review: Finding Nemo is enjoyable. Finding Nemo is a great family movie. But, in the comparative scale of all things animated (computer-mated maybe a better term with Pixar's fare) Pixar's Nemo falls short in comparison with the likes of Lion King, Toy Story, and A Bug's Life. It is great, yes, but not that great to be in a league above.Pixar as a production studio is simply amazing with the streak of creativity they have maintained. While Disney churns out retold classic after retold classic, Pixar comes up with truly original story-lines that puts the joy of creativity square back in animated tales. The voices are dead-on matched up with the characters. Ellen Degeneres as Dory the Blue and Yellow Tang Fish is apropos. Albert Brooks as Marlin the Clownfish is equally engaging. But perhaps the best performances are turned out by Barry Humphries as Bruce the Shark fighting his very nature by leading a non-fish eating club. The most subtle turned performance though is William Defoe as Gill the salty old-timer and leader of the aquarium. At first, you envision a Scar from the Lion King but then realize there is depths to the character as a sly wizened dark gravelly voice gives way to layer upon layer of tough love leadership. It is truly an engaging performance. The movie has many laughs and much drama but in the end fails to enchant as much as the other previously mentioned animations. Look for the most entertaining moment in the movie though when a underwater mine is set-off. The screen shows the explosion and then flashes to two sea-gulls bobbing innocently above on the sea's surface. The inevitable bubbles rise. One seagull looks accusingly to the other. It is subtle, if you blink, you'll miss it. The scene cuts away quickly, but you will find yourself howling in delayed laughter when the joke hits you. True moment of artistic humorous genius, I'd say. I'm not steering you clear of Finding Nemo, but comparatively you may find it falls short of the animated greats, in my humble opinion.

Summary: Another Pixar Classic
Review: Finding Nemo is another classic from the creaters of Toy Story and A Bug's Life. Albert Brooks voices Marlin, a clownfish who's entire family, except for one lone fish, are killed in an attack by a barricuda. He is left as a single father raising his son, Nemo, voiced by Alexander Gould. Naturally, Marlin is now afraid of the creatures in the water, and he tried to protect Nemo at all costs. This includes keeping him out of school and away from his friends as long as possible. When Nemo finally gets to go to school, Marlin still can't seem to let him go as he tracks him down on a field trip. Fed up with his father's overprotectiveness, Nemo swims into open sea only to be captured by a diver's fishing net. This leads Marlin on a race across the sea to find his son. Along the way he meets Dora, a fish with a memory problem, voiced hilariously by Ellen DiGeneres, three sharks trying to get over their desire to eat fish, and a family of turtles who help show them the way. In typical Disney/Pixar fashion, the characters grow and mature in a realistic, natural way. In the end we forget they are even fish, or cartoons. They are incredibly real. This is a funny, hearwarming tale that is available on an incredibly fully loaded DVD. The extras are phenomonal. It would take about six hours to watch them all. I highly recommend this film to everyone. This is a family film that can be enjoyed by people without kids (like me), and to any fan of animation the extras are a must-see.

Summary: The Best Picture of 2003
Review: This was definitely the Best Picture of 2003. The story, the characters, and the technical mastery were all impressive. This is PIXAR'S best film. Finding Nemo covers so much ground in its reasonable running time. I hope it gets nominated for Best Picture(OSCARS). It truly deserves it.

Summary: Something for Everyone (even the Chemically Induced)...
Review: Okay, so you can plainly see that this movie gets rave reviews across the board. I'll add my drop in the bucket by appealing to a certain demographic: psychonauts. You know who you are. Put down the special brownies and listen up-- this is the DVD you want. All of the characters in Finding Nemo-- namely the great Albert Brooks' daddy clownfish, Marlin-- will kill you softly with charming wit. The perfectly matched voices will stay in your head causing you to spout off Nemo quotes whenever opportunity strikes. Each scene of the film is painted in electrically-charged hues; colors which seem to transcend anything you've ever seen hanging around your childhood box of Crayolas. Highly adept computer animation blend with spot-on oceanic sound effects to create an entire world that you'll swear you're actually experiencing. Not only will this DVD satisfy its repeat viewing quota, you'll also want to introduce Nemo and friends to any and all who grace your entertainment room-- with or without the 'shroom pizza. Definitely recommended.

Summary: V. Good Movie
Review: It seems there are hardly any good movies these days. The reviews keep getting better and better and the movies keep getting worse and worse. I'm very strict on the media I allow into my house. For this reason, my kids hardly watch any movies. Movies without good characters or a plot will not keep their attention. This movie is fun to watch - it has an amusing cast of characters and the journey to reunite father and son is funny, funny, funny. My kids love this movie - especially the part when Dori is speaking "whale." This is one kids movie my husband and I can actually watch and enjoy.

Summary: Fantastic movie
Review: Two words. Just great. most everyone thinks so and i agree with them. Fantastic animation, plot, characters, and jokes. I was very suprised that most of the jokes were for older people, like teens and adults. ( my 7 yr old brother didnt even know what e-bay was...) I watch this over and over again. All of the major critics say its great, i say its great. What more do you want?
I espically liked when before the movie started, disney had previews of "brother bear" and the moose was commenting that the people that were "leaving" were "going to find that nemo" Hey, what can i say? it was pretty funny timing considering that "brother bear" was a piece of crap. And I also love the short film, kcick knack. I also enjoy when the DVD comes out, Pixar leaves you in suspence by showing you a preview of their next movie. In this case its "the incredibles" which looks very funny. I also have been hearing some rumors of the the NEXT movie after that. "Cars" i think it was. I will be very intrested to see what they make out of that =)

Summary: "I think I lost somebody, but I can't remember!"
Review: Walt Disney Studios created what is probably one of their best animated films ever with the 2003 "Finding Nemo". With an all-star cast providing the voices, the film was written and directed by Andrew Stanton and co-directed by Lee Unkrich. Andrew Stanton has written many popular animated films in the past few years including the 2001 "Monsters, Inc.", the 1999 "Toy Story 2", the 1998 "A Bug's Life" and the 1995 "Toy Story". "Finding Nemo" is about a clownfish named Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks) and his son Nemo (voice of Alexander Gould), who live in a sea anemone along the Great Barrier Reef. Following the unfortunate demise of Marlin's wife Coral (voice of Elizabeth Perkins), Marlin becomes very protective of Nemo and doesn't want him to venture from their home. Marlin relents, but Nemo is captured by a scuba diver and taken back to Sydney where he is put into a fish tank. Determined to rescue his son, Marlin ventures out into open water and comes across an absent-minded blue tang named Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres) who joins Marlin in his search. Nemo gets to meet some interesting characters in the fish tank including an angelfish named Gill (voice done by Willem Dafoe), a puffer fish named Bloat (voice of Brad Garrett), the confused fish Deb (voice of Vicki Lewis), a cleaner shrimp named Jacques (voice of Joe Ranft), a bubble-obsessed fish named Bubbles (voice of Stephen Root), a starfish named Peach (voice of Allison Janney) and Gurgles (voice of Austin Pendleton). Other interesting characters include the pelican named Nigel (voice of Geoffrey Rush), the shark named Bruce (voice of Barry Humphries), the hammer-headed shark named Anchor (voice of Eric Bana), a sea turtle named Crush (voice of Andrew Stanton), the stingray schoolteacher named Mr. Ray (voice of Bob Peterson), the dentist (voice of Bill Hunter) and his frightening daughter Darla (voice of Jordan Ranft). Of the various endearing characters in "Finding Nemo", my personal favorite is the absent-minded Dory. Ellen DeGeneres did a superb acting job with her voice. Willem Dafoe was also wonderful, as was Albert Brooks. The quality of the animation in "Finding Nemo" is among the best that I have ever seen. In a documentary contained on the second disk, Andrew Stanton comments on how he had to tell his animators not to make the underwater scenes look too real. I have no doubt that the film will be nominated for Best Animation during next year's Academy Awards. I would also not be surprised if it received nominations in other categories. Some of the most memorable animation in the film includes the sea anemone moving with the ocean currents, the divers, the jellyfish and the deep-sea anglerfish. Overall, I rate "Finding Nemo" with a resounding 5 out of 5 stars. It is sure to please both children and adults alike for years to come. The nice thing about the 2-disk DVD set is that it contains both wide-screen and full-screen versions of the film. The documentary material and other extra material on the two disks is very good, including the encyclopedia of the various underwater species used in the film.
