Summary: Sweet....totally!
Review:

Filled with colorful, realistic undersea settings and quirky characters, Finding Nemo made me laugh and made me cry. The 'lost and found' story is well-written and the animation is absolutely stunning! The documentary included on making the movie is not to be missed.

My favorite characters are the scatter-brained, but tries-her-hardest Dory (voiced by Ellen Degeneres) and the sea turtles that seemed based on the title characters Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Whoa! The ending was cute when the captive fish finally escaped from the dentist's tank, only to fall into Sydney Harbor still in their plastic bags. Bummer

Summary: The Sea Monkey Has My Money...
Review: No matter how difficult things may seem at times, or how impossible and big a problem is, one should never give up, always follow their heart and keep on going. That's the message I got out of this movie. I saw this movie in the theater last summer when it came out and I loved it then and was actually surprised by how often I caught myself laughing at it. (I'm not one who is usually that impressed with animated pictures, I appreciate them but I don't have an affinity for them). I watched it again on DVD tonight and was more moved by it this time than my first viewing. This movie has it all, comedy, drama and even a little bit of action. This is one movie that will not disappoint, everyone should see it at least once!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!
Review: I thought this movie was one of the best i've ever seen! It has really great characters who are very funny. I think many of the sayings are very creative. My favorite characters were Dory and Jauques ( the shrimp guy). All ages can enjoy this movie and laugh. The one problem i have with it is that the plot is just a little stupid but everything else was great! I really think this movie was AwEsOmE and i give it 5 stars!

Summary: This is so cute...you have to see it!
Review: This show proves that men can actually care for a child when the wife either dies or get's a divorce. This movie really moved me. It's more of a father/son relationship that shows the parent really care about their child. Love is the key to happiness and you have to open up and let your felling's soar is what this show is saying.

Anyways clown fish...ya. Ok this movie starts off like any other with the parents taking care of their to-be children and then out of no where a baracuda comes along. The father of course get rendered unconsious and the mom is no where to bee seen by him when he wakes up! *GASP* No more eggs. but wait there is one left. I meant the whole start made me cry but in a good way. The rest of the movie brings a fish with long term memory loss who travels with marlin go on a quest to look for his son.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: RITE OF PASSAGE
Review: Few movies in recent years have done as impressive a job as Finding Nemo in giving us uplifting, truly fun entertainment with a wonderful message. Nemo is a nonstop journey from fear to joy, from struggle to triumph, from grasping and clutching to courageous self-abandonment. I will not say an ill word about this movie. I cannot give it less than a full five stars.

Pixar has put out some great movies--but none of them hold a candle to Nemo.

Visually this movie is unlike any of its pixar predecessors. The Toys, Bugs and Monsters of the past have all been skillfully executed. They have also all been very anthropomorphic. They not only acted like humans, they took very human forms. Not so with Nemo. This movie is set in a very believable, but wonderfully alien seascape (and aquariumscape).

Yet what Nemo and his Father go through is the most human of stories. The over-protected child must come of age. As is often the case, the protector (Nemo's Dad), finds that he must do likewise.

Nemo's Father only wants the best for his child. Yet, like too many fathers, he unintentionally fails to heed the teaching of Colossians 3:21-- "Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged."

Nemo becomes lost in his rebellion against his father's discouraging nagging. However, it is in the darkness of the proverbial "far country" that Nemo comes to see his life more clearly. In time he finds things inside (and outside) of himself that he never suspected were there.

This story of the unexpected Rite of Passage has an almost mythic power to it. Along the way we as viewers cannot help but find ourselves laughing, being moved, and--always--entertained.

Albert Brooks has always been on my shortlist of the best voice actors alive (listen to his guest-voice work on The Simpsons). He does not disappoint as Nemo's Dad. He and Ellen Degeneres absolutely carry this movie with their brilliant acting. Wilhelm DeFoe is wonderful as well in the role of Gill.

I cannot recommend this movie enough. I'm still waiting on The Return of the King, but Finding Nemo may well win my personal movie of the year award.

Watch it Today!

Summary: Pixar and Eisner make stupid entertainment...
Review: The video was beyond stupid. It was idiotical. The story begins like this. Marlin and his fish partner, have baby clownfishes. However, before the eggs can hatch, a baracuda comes and kills the mother and eats the eggs. However, the Baracuda misses eating one egg. Marlin (the father) names the egg Nemo. Marlin is very concerned about protecting Nemo. On the first day of fish school, the father attempts to convince his son to stay home for another year, but to no aveal.
On the first day of school, Nemo and his friends, although I would call them acquaintances, are playing together. The teacher is nowhere is sight. Nemo's friends dare each other to get as close as they can to the butt. (The butt was really a boat, but Eisner HAD to add that detail so kids can go around saying. "I dare yay to touch the Butt.")
Well, Nemo disobeys his father and gets closer to touching the boat or butt if you prefer. Nemo's dad tries to threaten Nemo to return, but Nemo's dad (like Eisner) fails to realize that threatening makes kids, or in this case fish, more apt to disobey then beforehand. Nemo touches the boat, and a diver captures Nemo. Nemo's dad tries to save him, but to no aveal. The boat speeds away with Nemo on it.
Like all Eisner vidoes, everyone always turns out all right, and the bad guys, or jellyfish, are defeated. However, how and were Nemo's dad finds Nemo is something you will have to discover for yourself.
However, I was very disappointed with the plot line. In one phrase, one fish says, "Don't you realize that you are swimming in your own shi(the starfish cuts in, so as not to say the "T"). Half the fish in this video are morons, and the other half cool. The only thing this video teaches is that you can do anything you put you mind to doing. I wonder if that counts in shooting a rifle at three, or defying gravity by believing you can. Eisner forgot to specify that.
This video does not teach any good character traits. The "ho ho he he" chant gave me a headache. I would not recommend this video to anyone. The actors, effects, and scenery are the only pluses to this horrible motion picture.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: The story is simple BUT very meaningful. A clownfish name Merlin lost his whole family except for one, Nemo. With that traumatic experience in his life, he became a very overprotected to Nemo. Nemo got kidnapped, and Merlin went to Sydney - with a help from the hilarious Dorry - to save Nemo. I was surprised that many people think that the story is so flat and that the characters aren't being developed. I think Merlin has been developed very well in the film. I mean he turned from a very overprotected and unfunny clownfish to become a more relaxed dad and learn to be more funny in telling jokes (hehehehe).

Pixar did amazing works and FN is probably my favorite at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I adore Toy Story and Monster Inc, but I found FM to be more real that the others. I guess I can relate more to FN instead of Toy Story or Monster Inc cause I never really believed in any monster in my bedroom. I'm not a very imaginable kid back then I guess, quite a boring normal kid probably. I never really had any toys either, been playing with Super Nintendo, playstation, and PS 2 for all my life, and I guess they're not really the kind of toys that I hope to be turned to live at night. Coming from a family with a very,very overprotected father, I can feel nemo's uneasiness with that situation.

However, the film itself has elaborated me to understand Merlin's point of view as well as my father's point of view. I can actually understand why overprotected fathers are really hard in letting go their children. It's their treasure! No matter how bad their children are, they're still willing to do anything to save their children. The most touching scene on the film is when Dorry said, "and when I'm with you...I'm home," I realized no matter how annoying our parents are or how much we got angry with them, they'll always be there for us, and with all the stupid, annoying, and embarrassing things and moments that our parents gave us, but they are HOME to us.

At the end, this is a fantastic film. Maybe some of you who expect complicated story and psychological explorer wouldn't really like it, but an ordinary man like me found it amusing and simply amazing. The DVD is a must ! It has beat the DVD sales for Spiderman rite now, and I hope it'll win an oscar for best animated film this year, oh btw, I'm 23 and drive a landrover and got a nemo keyholder on my car key -!

Summary: Nemo in Monster's Inc.
Review: Maybe I'm the last person on the planet to notice this, but last night with the boys, we were finishing up, (another viewing of) Monster's Inc. and noticed that Nemo makes an appearance near the end of the film. Has anyone else see this? A perfect Pixar touch!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DUDE!
Review: You dudes have some serious thrill issues if you don't go out and get this movie. I have watched this movie so many times with my kids, they don't get tired of it and neither do I. Marlin fights all obstacles to get his son Nemo back after he is captured by a SCUBA diver. Dorie and Bruce are two of the funnier character he meets on his journey to find his son. Do he find Nemo or does he get thrown in a frying pan full of Crisco? You'll have to go by the movie to find out.
