Summary: A Sure Classic But...
Review: Ok, I give this movie 5 stars because it is definitely a wonderful movie if not one of the best Disney movies ever, especially in terms of the Pixar line of movies. It is definitely a family movie, and in terms of that it does a great job of keeping the adults interested with a lot of great humor. The animation is great as are all the special features, which are fascinating as well.So, what's the But for... Well, my biggest complaint, and this is looking at it from the perspective of a parent or a little kid is what I perceive to be a little bit more violence or implied violence than what some kids might be able to handle. Granted, it isn't something that is going to bother most kids, but the horror of seeing Nemo's mother killed (even though it isn't directly shown) seems like it could frighten a lot of kids. Frankly, I found it a little depressing, and I am 27. The shark attack scene and the subsequent mine incident also seem a bit frightening for a young child to see. In fact, there seemed to be quite a few "startling" scenes that could easily scare a young child. Now, I hardly think it detracts from the movie as a whole, but it is also common to sit the little ones in front of a tv to watch a movie such as this, and I think this movie is one where a little adult support could be helpful. I would hate to have my child be waking up in the night dreaming of baracudas and sharks attacking.... Of course, in the end, a lot of other Disney movies have the same type of dramatic and even someone morbid aspects to their plots, and perhaps it is these aspects that make the movies great to begin with.

Summary: What's All the Rave About?
Review: Alright, I have nothing against Disney. They brought us the classics. But when they team up with Pixar, they overadvertise and simply screw up the whole film. All of my friends love this film along with all of my classmates. But it was stupid. It was very funny, in a cute sort of way, and I don't mind watching it, despite all of the times people said the lines along with the characters). But it wasn't a strong enough plot. I mean, really, what's so great about a fish looking for his son? Oh, and Disney, before you create another movie, think twice about killing off the mother,aka Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Smart House (all of the non-animated ones, I know there are others)...........

Summary: Just keep swimming, just keep swimming
Review: This is my favorite film of the year! I went to see it three times in the theater, and then got the DVD the first day. I love the characters, the storyline, and the animation. It is truly a remarkable film, and one that the entire family can enjoy. It touches on basic hearttouching themes like family, friendship, and the importance of trust, loyalty, and hope. These are great things! And the jokes are such that there are things for the kids and things for adults. Albert Brooks and Ellen Degeneres in the leading roles are superb with their voices that really bring the characters to life. The DVD has many special features, like exploring the reef (a remarkable virtual place!) and read-alongs and games, but perhaps the most fun are the virtual aquariums. These can be left on the television for hours, a sort of screen saver for the television. My cat loves the movement of the aquarium, and I see her frequently staring at the screen. It is always fun to see the behind the scenes, the truly wonderful technology and artistry that went into making this movie which is destined to become a classic of children's film. Also fun is the short film Knick Knack -- I saw this in the theater too, and am glad to have a copy now. Buy it today! Watch it forever!

Summary: There is a little more here than meets the eye
Review: The first time I saw this film I was unimpressed. After the "Killing Bambi's Mother" opening, the story seemed to meander about to an inevitable conclusion. The key to enjoying this film is not allowing the sad opening to cut-off your emotional connection to Marlon and his son Nemo. If you can sustain empathy with the characters, the story becomes one of profound personal development for a father that has been emotionally crippled by a tragety. Through his trek he learns how to find the heart to take risk and really live a life instead of hide from it. This film may be the darkest piece Pixar has made since "Toy Story 2," but it is worth supporting for the beauty of the work alone.

Summary: Pixar Have Done It Again
Review: I normally don't purchase Region 1 DVDs, however I couldn't wait for FN to come out on DVD in Britain so I snapped it up immediately. This Pixar animation comes closest I've ever seen to turning cartoon vision into 3 dimensional reality with characters and visuals which are simply stunning. This tale of unfunny clown-fish Marlin, (Brooks) and the irrepressibly charming and cute but forgetful blue tang Dory, (Degeneres) is a heart-warming tale of paternal love, self-discovery and friendship underlying a dialogue which is nothing short of hilarious. The underwater visualisation is enchanting, and characterisation of sea-creatures and their prey nothing short of original and side-splittingly funny - vegetarian sharks following a 12-step ''fish are friends'' program, Surfer-dude Turtles, flatulant seagulls and shape-throwing Tuna- you get the impression that Pixar have not only been cognisant of their duty to stun visually but have spent an incredible amount of time in investing in enchanting and 3-D characters which you just walk away from loving. Degeneres steals the show with her natural comedic intonations and side-splitting interpretation of whale-talk, I was in raptures throughout. A definite contender for Disney's greatest classic (along with Lion King and Beauty and the Beast)< this is one movie I'll cherish. I haven't met one person disappointed in this movie. A confident purchase which will entertain all ages.

Summary: Pretty, but insipid
Review: With all the hype surrounding this film, I expected it to at least be entertaining. While my family loved Toy Story and a Bug's Life, we were unanimous in giving this film a "blah". The animation is very well done, but the characters are uninteresting, there is no chemistry be tween them and the plot is one long wandering effort, ultimately unsuccessful, to bring in other minor characters in an attempt to bring some interest to the film. Dory's memory problem is annoying and brings nothing to the story. The best part of the film are the characters in the aquarium, but that is damning with faint praise. If you are older than 8, find a better way to waste a couple hours of your life.

Summary: Adorable!
Review: This is a really cute movie that the whole family will love. The graphics are great, and the familiar voices are charming. It's a touching story about a fish named Nemo and his father, who don't get along at the beginning. It's the whole 'I'm-growing-up-leave-me-alone' kind of relationship. But Nemo's father who can't help it because he's a little insecure, and because of a tragic event (it happens at the very beginning of the movie, but I still don't want to spoil it) in his life, he's afraid of Nemo's safety. When Nemo is caught by scuba divers and is stuck in an aquarium of a dentist's office in Australia, his father immediately tries to find him. He finds a new friend Dorry, a fish with a terrible memory, and also meets some other friends (and fiends) along the way. It's a very funny movie and will keep you laughing even when you watch it the second time.
Definitely worth buying :D.

Summary: Finding Nemo
Review: The beginning part when Marlin's wife Coral and all their eggs (except Nemo) were devoured was sad. But have you noticed that Disney movies for children seem to always bump off one of the parents? Try to name more than one (101 Dalmations is one) where they don't kill a parent. They are for some reason against the family unit as a whole. This movie is great otherwise! It has us in tears laughing. The talking whale, "intervention" with the sharks, "You made me ink myself." There are tons of lines! You have to watch it several times to get them.

Summary: One of the year's best
Review: While I am growing sick of computer-generated special effects in most live action movies, Pixar's brand of moviemaking continues to astonish and impress. "Finding Nemo" is another wonderful Pixar film because it has a great story. Period. The screenplay is terrific. It has detailed characters, very funny dialogue, and action sequences that flesh out and advance the story. There is a wealth of material here and dozens of characters both major and minor, but the movie never bogs down. It is fast, nimble and has a refreshingly light touch that has become the trademark of Pixar. If only the other studios would pick up on the Pixar maxim: that good stories and good characters make for good movies. And what a beautiful world has been created here. George Lucas went to insane extremes to render fantastic new interstellar worlds for the latest round of "Star Wars" episodes, but "Nemo" far outshines even that level of visual excellence. The film just plain felt alive on the big screen -- deep, rich colors of a variety that closely approximates reality -- and it's just as gorgeous on DVD. The vocal performances are ingenious and touching. Albert Brooks got into movies to play Marlin the clownfish, and though some of Ellen DeGeneres' mugging grows a bit irritating (a little of her "whale talk" goes a long way), her Dory is a loveable character. "Finding Nemo" far surpassed even "The Lion King" at the box office, but it's a toss-up as to which is the "better" film. I think "Lion King" has a more deeply affecting story, and on a certain philosophical level is more adult. I would rank "Nemo" among the top five animated family films of all time (the "Toy Stories" are also both way up there). It's a classic.
