Summary: A Wonderful Must See Movie
Review: I took my three year old to see this movie and he just loved it. He has a problem sitting through movies but when this one came on he was very interested in it. Bruce the Shark, was the only thing that he talked about. After we came home, where ever we went in the car he always told me that Bruce the shark was chasing us. He was really cute about it. Anyway, I thought the movie was very well thought out and wonderful sound. I know that my son and I look forward to when the DVD comes out because this will definitely be one that we add to our collection.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: An absolutely hilarious movie that will entertain everyone in the whole family, as throughout the movie you will no doubt find at least one under-water friend that reminds you of someone very close to you, as the characterisation was done very well.

Summary: No Songs - not the 'classic' style Disney animation movie
Review: I saw the movie at the theatre and loved it. I'd put it in the same category as Lilo & Stitch. I enjoyed it so much I told my sister about it, she took the kids out to see it and told me she hated it because there was no songs. I hadn't noticed there were no songs because I enjoyed the movie so much, but my sister, with her kids - definately missed them.

Summary: The Best Family Movie This Century!
Review: Pixar animation studios may be one of the most well known movie companies around. And for good reason. Pixar has produced some of the best childrens movies ever seen; such as Toy Story, and Monsters Inc. These movies have also happened to be some of the first in a three dimentianal format. But "Finding Nemo" was certainly not "just" a children's flick. This movie was one of the best movies I've ever seen; animated or not. The movie's core revolves around Marlin, an over protective father clownfish (Albert Brooks) who is constantly afraid of the big sea. His son on the other hand, Nemo (Alexander Gould), is enthusiastic and wanting to learn all about the world around him. The already small family is split apart when divers trap Nemo in a net for transport to a fish tank. The rest of the movie chronicles Marlin's journey to resque his young son. Along the way, Marlin meats Dori, a funny and constantly forgetful fish (Ellen Degenoris). Togeather, they search the ocean blue for signs of where the divers went. The movie combines great casting, wounderful scripting, witty jokes (some of which will go over the kid's heads), wounerous enviorments, and a whole lot of heart. When people ask me if Finding Nemo is a cute movie, I tell them it's more than cute, it's astounding. Jamie Diamond - Kidmedia International

Summary: What A Joy Ride!!
Review: "Finding Nemo" is a reprieve from the rubbish that's thrown out to us from Hollywood lately. This movie is not merely brilliant visually but it has an enduring storyline that would stand the test of time. As I watched the movie, I was mesmerised by the ripples in the water, the cornucopia of sea reefs & corals, the movements of the fish, & many times I pinched myself to remind me that this is a computer graphics movie. It was so lifelike & I never questioned about its authenticity. What differentiates Pixar movies from other cartoon or even computer graphics movies would be its storyline, that is forever accessible to people of all ages. To have me, a 31 years old sitting next to primary school children and old couples in the fifties is the greatest testimony of all. Notably, Ellen de Generes was at her best being hillarious, hyperkinetic, over-the-top & having an excessively short memory at the same time. Mel Brooks is also at his best being neurotic & yet, brave for his son's sake when it needs be. Whichever you see it, this movie is a joyride or perhaps, a journey where the father finally learns to let go of his grown child. A truly memorable movie & a movie that definitely sets a high pinnacle for the movies of this calibre. Highly recommended. Or shall I say, don't miss it on the big screen!

Summary: Try FINDING a plot
Review: Pixar, oi! They have all the amazing visuals down, but they just can't seem to come up with an interesting or even engaging plot. The stories are so paper-thin. Monsters inc. was OH SO boring and juvenile, and this is right behind it. It's not just Pixar either that has trouble coming up with an original idea. Try Ice Age on for size. That movie stinks of Monsters inc. Returning a baby to it's family... yeesh. And although Shrek was a great film, I think we've all seen that story MILLIONS of times. Hell, it can even be compared to Beauty and the Beast. I just hope Pixar can get their act together and deliver worthwhile films in the tradition of Toy Story, because Monsters inc. and Finding Nemo are below average.

Summary: Extending Pixar's run of success!
Review: Pixar does it again! What sets their previous efforts apart from other computer animated films has been their equal emphasis between aesthetic quality and a quality story. And again they succeed on both counts.It's a multilayered set of themes that make this story so effective. There is the basic umbrella of a parent frantically trying to regain his son, while working against his own fears. Meanwhile the son strives to master his own potential and an independence thrust on him by his own rash action. Throw in a sidekick with severe short term memory loss, a group of sharks trying to maintain themselves on a twelve step "no fish consumption" program, surfer dude sea turtles and precision formation fish schools and you have enough enough comic elements to satisfy both kids and adults. Marlin the Clownfish is the surviving parent Nemo, determined to avoid loss and protect his inquisitive son. Like so many other children, Nemo reacts to Marlin's protective smothering with an impetuousness that leads to his capture from the waters of the Great Barrier Reef and transfer to an aquarium in a dental office. Dad resolves to find his son, while son struggles to regain his bravado and freedom with the help of the other prisoners of the aquarium. Albert Brooks gives voice and angst to Marlin, with Ellen Degeneres a standout as his new -- and very forgetful -- sidekick, Dory.

Summary: WHY WAS THIS NOT RELEASED IN 3D ? ? ?
Review: Okay - So it's a kids movie but obviously it was intended for ALL to enjoy. When my wife, 5 yr. old son & me walked out at the end of our 1st of 2 viewings [he swindled us into seeing it twice], I immediately turned to my wife and said "They blew it. THIS was the 3D film of the century"!!! Why in heaven's name was this not released in 3D?? The graphics and color are "stunning". The attention to detail was meticulous, as is the case with all Pixar productions. And the story line, which seemed totally impossible to pull off before seeing the movie was done VERY cleverly. I found out later in the week they made spy kids [whatever] into 3D and that movie is mediocre, at best. 3D did NOT save it. And yes, Ellen Degeneris, who usually does nothing for me personally, brought some of the movie's best laffs. Also, the bonus features and the game advertised to complete the set, promise to have my son begging for more.

Summary: Too American
Review: I, Robby Genepri, have languished long and hard while critiquing this film through and through for any revolting gratuitous cartoon violence. After finding little to boot, I must admit that I am still taken aback by the sheer audacity of Disney to release a cartoon film that encourages fish to fend for themselves. I feel it incumbent upon the cartoon industry to underscore the increasing importance of interdependence, or collectivism, if you will. Nemo, in his despicable American individualism, sours the taste in my Marxist socialist palate.
