Summary: Amazing
Review: I really liked this movie, I have seen it twice and it was even better the second time around. For a Kids movie, the senes were very detailed, and very pleasing to look at. They have some humor for the adults (little people wont catch on) . The main people(fish)were really funny together, the blue one Dory was my favorite. So if you want to go see a movie with the kids... go see this one. Its really worth it!!!!1

Summary: Great Movie, filled with just about everything,AND MORE!!
Review: I am not much on Children's movies, but Pixar is the only exception I will stand for. Pixar has been known for movies such as: Toy Story, Monster's Inc., A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, and much more. Pixar makes movies, with the intent for children, but ends up being fun for the whole family. I am twenty years old, and have just watched this pretty recently. I saw it the first time when I took my ten year old brother. The second when I took my fifteen year old sister, and my thirteen year old cousin. And for the third time with both my brother and sister, and now my forty five year old mother, and my forty seven year old father. All three times were great experiences for me. I loved every minte of all of it. There are things like Humor, Suspense, Drama, Horor, and also a whole lot of fun! :) This movie is my favorite from Pixar now, and I am readily awaiting their next great masterpiece. Enjoy!!!

Summary: Finding Nemo is a good family movie
Review: I saw "Finding Nemo" with my mama and 2 year old nephew, and quite frankly I was thinking that it was going to be stupid. I loved it! There was a short before the movie began that Pixar made in 1989 about a snowman who is stuck in a cold snow globe who wants to get out to see the other souveniers from places like the carribean and Jamaica. This is the theme of Finding Nemo- trying to be free. The movie starts out with the father talking to his wife about their 400+ eggs and how they like their new neighborhood, but a big fish comes and eats the mama and all of the eggs except for one. Since the mama wanted to name one of the fish babies "Nemo," the name stuck. Nemo was born with a "lucky" fin that is way smaller than the other fin, so he has trouble swimming. His dad is over protective of him, so he ventured out to go touch a boat to prove that he was brave. He was caught by a diver and brought to a dentist's office in Sydney. He desperately misses his father and wants to go back home. His father meets Dory, a blue fish (voiced by Ellen) who is silly and has a short term memory loss problem. They go together to try to find Nemo. It is a very funny and heart-warming movie.

Summary: The greatest fish-tale to date
Review: In a summer of super-hype crowded with Angels, Neos and Green Hulks, only a small orange and white clown fish offers quality worthy of the hype. Where those others were either mired in simplicity, quantum intelligence or in its own muscle-bound angst, FINDING NEMO emerges as a practically perfect film. The Disney Organization has really fine tuned its marketing for this film as well, keeping its audience from being annoyingly overwhelmed.

The story of Nemo follows an over-protective father's search for his abducted son. That is a pretty serious issue and the film handles it with the utmost respect. That makes the journey all the more believable, even as it is taken by a couple animated fish. And what animation it is. Never has life underwater been so thoroughly or gorgeously depicted. The character designs and overall color pallet are used to great effect, losing color during the more intense scenes and restoring it for brighter elements.

The voice-acting matches the designs very well from Marlin marvelously voiced by Albert Brooks, Short-term memory challenged Dory played by Ellen Degeneres, down to Austin Pendelton as a fish-tank dweller. The overall sound design is wonderful, as underwater scenes never abandon their atmosphere. A creative musical score by Thomas Newman caps it all off.

Having seen the film only once, I am not yet prepared to say this is the best offering from the folks at PIXAR (I have seen the others at least 3 times each). So, I look forward to a nice DVD release so I can finish up this review.

Summary: Pristine Graphics
Review: I have to marvel at the people dumb enough to complain the the graphics in "Finding Nemo" are sub-par because you can't see miles and miles in the water. These are clearly people who think they're experts because they've been in a swimming pool. I hate to break it to you, but you *can't* see miles and miles underwater! As a former deep sea diver, I can assure you the misty cloudiness of the water in "Finding Nemo" is so close to the real thing at times I forgot the water created by a computer. I highly suggest everyone complaining make sure they know what they're talking about before they make comments like that.

Summary: They¿ve Done It Again
Review: In recent years Disney and Pixar have teamed together for some of THE best family movies of all-time including Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Monster's Inc. The magic returns with their latest offering "Finding Nemo."

THE STORY:

"Finding Nemo" is a heart-warming story about a father and son and the lengths that the special bond of love will take them. Marlin, a widowed clownfish, searches across the seven seas for his son Nemo who was captured by a fishing boat. He braves all the dangers of the ocean including sharks, seagulls, jellyfish and assorted other predators, to find his son. Along his journey he befriends the forgetful fish Dory and some sea turtles. All in all, it's yet another heart-warming and fun tale from our friends at Disney and Pixar.

THOUGHTS:

For myself, this was easily Pixar's best effort yet in terms of animation as well as storytelling. The world of the sea comes shockingly into life with the various types of sea creatures beautifully rendered. Among the environments we sea are the deep ocean, the reef as well as the fish tank. Animation freaks will once again marvel as Pixar's work.

The storyline itself is much more grand in nature than what we saw in Toy Story and Monster's Inc. Marlin's epic journey across the ocean is definitely as inspiring as it is grand.

The true stars of the film however maybe not Nemo nor Marlin, but rather the characters of Dory (the forgetful fish) and the sea turtles Crush and Squirt (dude!!!). The character of Dory was easily the highlight of the film as the comic relief. Her antics and classic lines easily steal the film.

BEST SCENES:

1. Marlin, Dory and the Whale

2. Riding the EAC with Crush and Squirt

3. Nemo's transformation into "Sharkbate"

4. Sharks Anonymous

THE VERDICT:

This is easily the best family-film and animated film of the year. It's the perfect treat for the family (and Father's Day) and will make a great addition to your video library once it comes out on home video.

Enjoy!!!

Highest Recommendation

Summary: Pixar magic isn't limited to the computer animation
Review: Going to the movies has been such a disappointing experience during the past 15 years that many adults have basically stopped. The problem is the scripts, especially for comedies. What's supposed to be funny, generally isn't.

The great exception in the past decade have been the series of Pixar/Disney films: Toy Story, Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., and now Finding Nemo. This one may not be the best (I think Toy Story 2 is one of the greatest films ever made with its combination of humor, poignancy and Borges-like overlapping realities), but Finding Nemo is surely the funniest.

The comic actors recruited for the main roles, especially Ellen DeGeneres, not only do a brilliant job, but the animators capture them perfectly in manipulating their fish counterparts. The animation of the fish themselves turns out to have been a great idea--their quick darting movements heighten the comedy. The shark sequence is a masterful parody of self-help/12-step, and all the scenes in the dentists' office where Nemo is held captive in a fish tank come close to the brilliance of the toy collector scenes in Toy Story 2.

My 13-year-old son laughed throughout the movie, but so did I. There is no Billy Wilder on today's scene, no Preston Sturges, no Ernst Lubitsch; and Woody Allen ain't what he used to be. But the mob of writers and animators at Pixar are the closest we've got to filling their shoes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous
Review: This movie is hilarious, one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Maybe the best Pixar movie to date! See it!!! DONT SEE MATRIX!
