Summary: Finding Nemo
Review: When I first saw Finding Nemo, I thought it was okay. It is not, I repeat, NOT the best movie ever. Sure it was funny and I liked Dory but the scene when Bruce's eyes turned black and he chased Marlin and Dory around was definitely not what I expected. It is good enough for DVD and I hope you consider this before you buy the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laugh-a-rama
Review: I went to see Finding Nemo on my friends birthday and I choked myself with laughter. I particulary enjoyed Dory speaking as a walrus and I asked my friends and that was their favorite bit as well. Finding Nemo is the best animated movie ever. Oscar coming right up dude!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best movie of the summer!
Review: This is probably the DVD I'm most excited about buying this fall. I saw the movie right after it came out, and I instantly fell in love with it. The same team that gave us Toy Story and Monsters, Inc. succeeds at every level with Finding Nemo.

As an avid scuba diver, I'll start by saying that the visuals in this movie were spectacular. Very realistic, with lots of attention to detail. I felt like I was really down there. I could taste the saltwater. The colors were all so vivid that it made me wish I was part of Nemo's coral community.

The story of this movie is simple. A young fish (Nemo) gets captured by divers and his dad (a clownfish) sets off to rescue him, having numerous adventures along the way. It's a very heart-warming story about love, endurance, friendship, and having faith in the ones we love. This movie has a number of great moral lessons to teach, but it's real focus is to provide a hilarious adventure through the deep blue sea.

Nemo's dad is played perfectly by Mel Brooks as an over-protective, neurotic character who is scared of everything, but ultimately so much in love with his son that he learns to overcome his fears to come to the rescue. Brooks's companion, played by Ellen Degeneres as the absent-minded Dorie. Dorie really steals the show as she tries to help find Nemo. The mis-adventures that Brooks and Degeneres get into during their quest had me laughing until I cried.

And at the same time, Nemo is having his own adventures as he teams up with a mifit bunch of sea creatures inhabiting the aquarium in a dentist's office (which gives us a chance to see that the movie is set in Sydney, Australia). Willem Dafoe is the hard-bitten leader of this group of captives, and is constantly working out plans to help them escape. Some of the ideas they come up with (including the one that eventually works) are some of the funniest I've ever seen.

I agree with some of the other reviewers that this is Pixar's best movie. They do always try to set the bar a little higher and out-do their previous performance. If I had to choose only one movie to buy this year, Finding Nemo would be it. No question.

It's just that good.

Summary: Find Nemo when you buy this DVD!
Review: I absolutely adored Finding Nemo by Pixar! I recently traveled to the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney, Australia, so this movie was reminescent of the trip. The animation is absolutely wonderful and really looks like the structures: Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Great Barrier Reef, etc. This heartfelt movie makes you feel multiple emotions in less than two hours time. As the story line begins, you automatically feel sorry for Nemo and his father, Marlin, when his wife is killed. Marlin then vows to never let anything bad happen to Nemo. Over the course of the movie, the viewer laughs until it hurts, especially at the greedy seagulls. MINE! Overall, I believe that this movie is full of laughter and kindness; it teaches the young and old alike about the love between a boy and his father, while the viewer meets several interesting characters along the way.
I'm definitely buying the DVD. My friends and I, a group of teenagers, loved the movie so much that we saw it in the movie theater on several occasions. One time, we had such an urge to see and have a few laughs that we saw like an 11:00 viewing on a Tuesday night. This movie is spectacular, and adults and children can really appreciate its lessons, as well as the laughs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie For All Ages
Review: I was skeptical upon seeing this, but was surprised to find myself as a 19 year old guy loving it. The animation was great, the cast wonderful, and the story was pretty good. "Finding Nemo" revolves around a young fish and his over-protective father. The young fish (Nemo) is caught and ends up in a dentist office aquarium. His father sets off on an adventure across the ocean to find him meeting another fish (Dorie) on the way *fabulously voiced by Ellen Degeneres.* This isn't a movie just for kids. All ages will love it. Highly recommended family entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wet & Salty
Review: Another production from Pixar and they have not disappointed me yet. Animation was wonderful and seamless. The graphics are quite stunning to be fact.

The story about clown fishes. One a father called Marlin who has an only son called Nemo, who happens to be some sort fin crippled. The mother and the rest of his Nemo's siblings died when Marlin and her were looking for a place to live from the start of the movie itself.

It's the first day of school for Nemo and Marlin has become one over protective father. He walked...err swims Nemo to school, and yet on Nemo's first class, which happens to be also having a trip out into the ocean, gave Marlin a fright of his life and he decided to tail along. Once Nemo realized this, he becomes [upset] with his dad and decided to show him how much he has grown up and swims up to the bottom of a boat and touches it. Marlin, who is very furious, is telling him to come back down to the ocean floor. A human diver came along and takes Nemo with him.

So, the adventure starts from here. Will Marlin ever find his son again?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pixar does it again!
Review: Another great film from Pixar and Disney. The beginning was a little disheartening (reminiscent of Lion King), but you get over that part quickly. Ellen Degeneres is hilarious, probably the best part of the film. She was the perfect choice for the part and I found myself laughing out loud many times (especially love the whale talk). The animation was amazing, the character were great, and the storyline was cute. This is a must see for everyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie taught this grownup some things
Review: ASIDE from the spectacular animation, the laughs, and the endearing characters - this film has great educational value. For whatever reason, I grew up with an...uneasiness...around people with handicaps. By the end of the film I was completely oblivious to the fact two of the main characters were physically or mentally challenged. Dora, in fact, was one of the most charming characters I've seen in film recently - animated or not.

I also (as a divorced father) greatly appreciated a single FATHER being portrayed as loving and capable. Too much of media shows men, if not actually villains, as bumbling or careless - if they're present at all.

BRAVO! The film is so entertaining you hardly notice positive lessons are being reinforced.
