Summary: Disney has done it again
Review: All I can say is it is a must have for ANY age - even adults. Kids will watch over and over again! Right from the start the story pulls you in and it's a whirlwind of fun and adventure, meeting lots of unique characters. Lots of humor with Dory (Ellen Degeneres who else!). Kids might get a little scared if they are little but overall a great story of not giving up! Lots of extras on the special dvd version.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bread and fry that Nemo!
Review: Getting sucked on by a leech is more pleasurable than watching this stinkfish movie. No, it's actually the latest financial leech from Pixar, cross between lava lamp and video game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rightious!
Review: When I first saw Finding Nemo in the theaters, I was amazed of how many age groups could enjoy this picture. The story line was encompassing and taught lessons to children and adults alike. I cannot sit through the movie one time without commenting at the end about how wonderful the story line could touch so many aspects of life and emotion.
When I purchased the DVD I was even more amazed about the extras. There were hours and hours of information about the making of the movie as well as educational aspects of the types of fish and other animals that were represented in the movie. There were also games and and things for children to read and learn about current ocean issues like pollution.
A great buy for any member of the family.

Summary: the best animation i've seen
Review: A film by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich

I finally got a chance to see Finding Nemo. After all of the hype, and all of the box office success, I know what the big deal was all about. Simply put: Pixar makes great movies. Finding Nemo is a lot of fun to watch, and has some of the most beautiful animation I have ever seen.

The story is rather simple. Marlin (Albert Brooks) is a Clown Fish. Marlin is the single parent of a little clown fish, Nemo (Alexander Gould). Marlin is a very over-protective parent and while Nemo is away at school (clever, no?) he is taken by a scuba-diver. This is the branching point of the story. The movie switches back between Marlin and Nemo. We see Nemo taken away and what his life is like in a fish tank. We also see Marlin's quest to find Nemo and bring him back home. Marlin has a huge adventure as he tries to rescue Nemo. He meets up with another fish, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), and together they track down Nemo. Dory is an interesting fish, as she has a limited short term memory and keeps forgetting things. Together they deal with sharks, jelly fish, pelicans, and sea turtles and everything feels extraordinary and fun.

Fun is the bottom line with this movie. It is simply a lot of fun to watch (for children of all ages) and the animation is simply stunning. Finding Nemo also features the voice talent of Willem Dafoe, Alison Janney, Stephen Root, Brad Garrett, and Geoffrey Rush. I would like to highlight the work of Ellen DeGeneres. Her voice work was part of what made the character of Dory for me. It was a funny character, a sweet character, and perhaps the most sympathetic character. Dory was a lot of fun (like so much in this movie) and is probably my favorite character. I would recommend Finding Nemo to anyone (and everyone).

Summary: This is Worth Buying
Review: This DVD set is great! The film is first class. It has excellent animation, suspense, humor, good surround sound, EVERYTHING that a classic film needs. My family used lines from the film in conversation for days.

Disc 2 is also great. Normally second discs have trailers, behind the scenes stuff, cut scenes, etc. This, of course, has all of that, ALONG with intertaining games, a virtual aquarium, another small cartoon, and much, much, more.

If you have children in your home, don't miss this one.

Summary: good but gets old
Review: even though i enjoyed this movie the first time i saw it the second and third time it just got so anoying because its so rememberable it just gets old and i got annoyed by my friends saying lines from the movie and personally its overratted, the only reason it got good reviews is because of the humor and if you think about it the plot is dull and recycled from other movies and most of the characters i liked but some where just plain stupid but overall i recomend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How do they do it?!
Review: How is it possible that every movie Pixar makes manages to top the ones before it? They just get better and better!

"Finding Nemo" is one of the best movies to ever come out of animated cinema. Everything about it fairy reeks of perfection. From start to finish, this movie is brilliant.

For starters, the animation is top-notch, it is simply breathtaking. Every detail, every little artistic touch is wonderful. One of the most beautifully animated scences I have ever seen is the jellyfish scene. Wow! Talk about spectacular! I wanted to get up and clap when that scene was over.

The voice actors were absolutely perfect, in particular Ellen Degeneres as Dory -- she cracked me up! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. One of the funniest things I've ever seen is the whale scene (and for those of you who have seen this movie, you KNOW what I'm talking about!) Dory completely stole the show.

The other, more minor supporting cast, were wonderful as well. Bruce the Shark, and Crush the Sea Turtle were fabulous...the fish in the tank were great...even the gulls! I will never be able to see a seagull again without thinking "Mine!"

The story was unique -- funny and touching and heartwarming all at the same time. It kept you interested from the moment it started, and never stopped for a minute. It was rounded out nicely, and fleshed out to perfection. I laughed and I cried, and when a movie does that, I'm hooked.

As is typical for Pixar movies, it started out with a great little animated short. I laughed so hard just in that few minutes! These are fantasically brilliant animators, folks. This short is called "Knick Knack," and it's so funny!

The only thing that disappointed me at all was that there were NO outtakes. That is something we've all come to expect from Pixar, and frankly, I was rather looking forward to some great Dory outtakes! That would have been HILARIOUS!

But oh, well, the movie was worth it anyway, outtakes or not.

Bravo for Pixar! I can't wait to see the next one!

Summary: Good, but not The Greatest
Review: I saw "Finding Nemo" with a friend and I enjoyed it, but I think that most of the reviews it has gotten are a little over the top. It's a very well made film. The animation is incredible. The cast does a good job, but in the grand scheme of things, there have been some really phenomenal animated films in the past years and this one is not the greatest of them all. There are some dark moments in the film a la Mufasa's death in "The Lion King." But "Finding Nemo" lacks the genuinely fun and care-free moments to counterbalance them. The fun and genuine innocence and humor of "Toy Story" or some other popular films is missing here. Again, "Finding Nemo" is a good movie, but most of the reviews it has gotten are exaggerations at best. I still think people should see it. Just don't be expecting the animated cinema event of your lifetime.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
Review: Anyone who says this movie isn't funny OBVIOUSLY lacks a good sense of humor. It's hilarious! Ellen DeGenres cracked me up so much, I was crying!! Literally!!

At first I didn't want to see this movie, because it had fish in it and I'm really scared of the deep dark ocean. But as more detailed trailers came out, I thought it looked really funny and I wasted no time in seeing it. I wasn't disappointed! But I do think it should've been rated PG, because there are some scary/tense moments for little kids (e.g. really big sharks who are freaky lookin' but are vegetarians).

Dory's expressions are just hilarious. She makes me laugh so hard, even when she's not talking! And the way she speaks whale, don't even get me started on how FUNNY that was! Every time someone starts talking about whales, someone else begins imitating Dory! IT'S FUNNY!!

I read one review on here that I thought was sort of mean. They said that Nemo's gimpy fin shouldn't have symbolized strength, and that there should've been jokes about it. How would you feel if you had one arm shorter than the other, and everyone poked fun at it? Besides, its not like the fin was cheesy. It was a result of almost being eaten by a baraccuda. And it makes Nemo even more like Gill.

I just have to say once more that this is definitely Pixar's BEST BEST BEST movie ever! Funny! Uproarious! I can't get enough! And everyone has to watch "Exploring the Reef" with Jean-Michele because it is SOOOO funny! Dory, Nemo, and Marlin are in it, and Dory is just as funny as ever!! (every time Jean-Michele says his name, this music plays triumphantly in the background, and the animated fish keep looking around to see where it comes from. It cracked me up!)

You should all see this because it's so funny!!
