Summary: ROCK ON DUDES!!!!!!!!
Review: This is my sister Flow, don't listen to a thing she says, shes nuts! Man this movie really kicked it to the shell. Dory the short term memory loss fish is so funny. And Nemo is so cute, Marlin complains a little too much, I can't even tell Nemo and Marlin are related.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not just for kids!
Review: I have a healthy respect for Pixar. They've done four major films, every one of them was graphically stunning, yes.. but they also realized what makes a great movie isn't just the graphics - but a good STORY. Finding Nemo is probably my favorite of the four they've done. Not only is the story heart-warming and touching, but its also funny!

The basic plot is that Marlin is an overprotective father who lost his wife and most of his children in a barracuda attack. His only surviving child is a little clownfish named Nemo, who happens to also have a bad fin. On the first day of school Nemo's class goes to the dropoff (where the reef stops and the ocean gets deep), where Nemo and his new friends see a boatand decide to have a competition to see who can swim closer. Marlin shows up, becomes overprotective and Nemo rebells. He gets caught by a diver and put in a fishtank. The remainder of the story is how scaredy cat (er, fish) Marlin goes on a fantastic journey to find his son.

I saw some reviewers complaining that the story isn't realistic - but is it supposed to be? It's supposed to be entertaining and fun, which is it. The characters are all funny, likeably and interesting. Dory, who Marlin befriends on his journey, is hilarious throughout the whole movie ("Yes, I'm a natural blue!").

The graphics are amazing as well - Pixar keeps raising the bar with each movie they make. The bottom line is, this movie is visually stunning, the story is wonderful, the characters are great.. its one of the best movies of the year - no question in my mind! The DVD is also a great buy - it has tons of features including some behind the scenes stuff that is really interesting. I especially liked the special which basically went through the entire process of making the movie (albeit condensed - the movie took like 3 years to make!). Another especially neat feature was how they watched real fish and tried to make all the computerized fish as realistic as possible.

It's a great buy - I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed!

Summary: A great movie for EVERYONE!!
Review: I think I've had this movie for all of 2 weeks and I have watched it 4 times! And I am 27 years old with no kids! It's just a great movie all around. Fantastic animation, wonderfully funny characters and an original storyline. There's plenty of humor in here for kids, but also enough so the adults watching it with the little ones can laugh out loud too!

Ellen Degeneres is classic as Dory--the short-term-memory-loss inflicted fish. Practically everything she does in the film will elicit a laugh. There are several scenes that I watch over and over again.

The movie is about a young clown fish named Nemo and his father, Marlin. Nemo is captured from his reef by some divers and his father goes out into the ocean to search for him. Along the way, Marlin encounters Dory and a host of other sea creatures that eventually lead him to Sydney, where Nemo is being held hostage as a present for young Darla. Marlin's adventures in the "big blue" teach him that being overprotective isn't the best way to raise his son. It's a great message and the enounters along the way are simply hilarious. I don't want to give away any more of the plot...you'll have to watch and see!

There are so many extras with this DVD. I liked the deleted scenes and director's commentary. It's really amazing what kind of work goes into making an animated film of this magnitude. Most of the deleted scenes are not fully animated, but it's an educational process just the same.

All in all, this is sure to be a classic. You will find yourself reciting lines from this movie almost immediately. It's great for people of all ages, it's got a great message, the animation is crisp and realistic, and the characters are funny and have depth. It's not what most people expect out of an animated film. I don't know anyone who has seen this movie that doesn't rave about it! A GREAT GIFT!

Summary: Great Adventure
Review: "Finding Nemo" has given more importance to emotions than other aspects of movie. The story is simple but the colors are stunning and the imagination is extra-ordinary.

The movie is quite funny and lot of information for the kids too. The characters chosen are perfect - best example is Dory. It is true that the movie is for all ages - In fact I saw more elders in the theatre enjoying than the kids.

Somehow I liked "The Lion King" more than this for the animation, story, music and grandeur. May be it was the first few animated movies I watched and so it could be the reason.

Overall, a good entertainer.

Summary: Boring
Review: The first time I saw this movie I'll admit I liked it. But when I watched it for a second time, I realized what an awful movie it is. It was just so boring. I couldn't stand to watch it. And it really makes no sense. I mean, fish don't really care that much for their offspring. They lay tons of eggs, and some die. It just annoyed me how the fish were acting like people. And what's the deal, with the sharks not eating fish? What else would they eat? They survive off of fish. Ugh. I don't understand how so many people can like this. I really hate this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Dissapointed.
Review: Huge grossing movies are usually far from the best nowadays but I kept hearing no this really is great. This movie is the pinnacle of average Saturday morning cartoon/Full House humor aka non-entertaining humor. The plot doesn't matter cause you know what's gonna happen. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Disney/Pixar hater; I just caught a little Toy Story on Disney and I could still enjoy it even though I had watched it many many times. The only jokes that made me giggle were the times the blue fish called Nemo Fabio and 1 more that most people won't get.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining, funny, and most of all gorgeous
Review: After his wife and all-but-one of his offspring get devoured by a Barracuda, the unfunny clownfish Marlin turns into the over-protective father of his last remaining son Nemo (who was named based on his wife's wish).

During the very first day of school, Nemo is dared by a few friends to swim towards a boat. Seeing how his dad is already butting in, he goes a tad further than his buds bargained for, and is caught by a diver.

The only clue Marlin has as to the new whereabouts of his son is an address written on the back of the diving mask lost by the guy who captured his son. Determined to get Nemo back, he then sets out on a long trip to find him.

Along the way he meets a fish with a terrible short-term memory, a 'fish are friends' shark-group, and a bunch of surfer turtles ("Yeah, dude"), while Nemo can be found in a fish-tank surrounded by such oddities as old-timer Gill (Willem Dafoe), and French hermit crab Jacques who has a cleaning fetish.

Disney's animation team really outdid itself with the animations. Everything in the movie seems to have been made with utter care for detail; in the back, often seagrass can be seen moving to the current, reflections look natural, fish move the way you expect them to move (Well. Mostly, anyway), and there's a gorgeous look at Sydney's bay included.

The 'recipe' of the movie is one that has been used numerous times: Take a hero, add a quest, toss in a bunch of funny critters who help him/her, mix it with a tad of adventure, a pinch of bad guys, a tad of romance, and a humour-cherry on top. Still, the viewer doesn't get a 'seen this before' feeling.

Overall, it's a funny and entertaining movie. Kids ought to love this, but Disney made sure older viewers will also be kept interested, even if it's just by the stunning visuals and the little references to other movies ("HEEEEEEERE'S BRUCEY!").
