Summary: Excellent
Review: Why 'Finding Nemo' got some bad press at the time of its cinematic release will forever more puzzle me. It's a wonderful, glorious romp through the Garden of Disney, and has more going for it than most of Disney's recent releases.

Nemo is a young clown fish, who, after his mother and siblings were killed by a predatory fish, is left to the care of his overprotective father Marlin. When Nemo is captured by human divers, Marlin must brave the entire ocean and his own boundaries to rescue his only son, helped along the way by the forgetful Dory and a whole host of memorable characters.

Disney's computer animation just keeps on getting better and better; parts of this movie look so real that it's impossible not to sit up and take notice. I will always be a bigger fan of hand-drawn cartoons, but kudos to the designers and animators, they have given us a world of believable depth and mind-blowing detail.

The voiceovers are of the ususal excellent standard, with Ellen DeGeneres (Dory) and John Ratzenberger in a cameo (Fish School) being among some of the best, most endearing voiceover parts I have ever heard. Albert Brooks does a decent job with the character of Marlin, ditto Alexander Gould as Nemo, and the impression left on the viewer by their talent is one of character depth and attachment.

The storyline may be standard Disney fare, but it's excellent, intelligent little touches like the Seagulls in Sydney (Mate! Mate! Mate!) and the Fish-Not-Food Sharks that make 'Finding Nemo' stand head and shoulders above such other standard Disney fare as 'Brother Bear' and 'Mulan'. Coupled with such magnificent visuals and excellent, credible voice acting, 'Nemo' is a highly polished package both for adults and kids alike.

'Finding Nemo', really, is something you shouldn't be without. It's fantastic!

Summary: Lots of violence; little message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Why am I giving this DVD one star? Because zero was not offered as an option. My 3 year old daughter hated this movie and cried most of the time! It went from one violent scary moment to another! My husband and I were stunned...we kept thinking it HAD to get better but it didn't! How did this get a "G" rating?!? While other children's movies have some violence, like Lion King, Brother Bear, etc., those movies quickly defuse the fearful moments with an extended comic relief moment or song. With this movie, soon as a child is starting to calm down after seeing something like the take off of the Stephen King movie "The Shining" 'Here's Johnny!' scene, there quickly comes a scene with a horrifying creature with a long fangs chasing Nemo's father and Dorie, or Nemo almost getting ground up by the filtration system in the fish tank or one of the many other horrifying scenes. This kind of stuff went on throughout the whole length of the movie. This is NOT a movie for young children! The animation is well done...making things look very real, thus more scary. We have taken our daughter to see Brother Bear five times at the theater and watched it countless times on DVD! Our whole family still loves Brother Bear!!!!!!! Our daughter loves Brother Bear and knows all the songs! For the money that people have to pay for movies these days, the better value is Brother Bear...Gorgeous animation, a sound track that rivals Lion King, and a message for people of all ages. Like Lion King and Finding Nemo, the topic of death plays a role in Brother Bear, but in the end, it is shown that those loved ones who were lost are still forever watching over the ones they left behind. Brother Bear has a wonderful story of forgiveness, tolerance of those different than you and the importance of taking responsibility for those you have hurt and working to heal. Brother Bear is what a Disney movie should be, NOT the mindless violence of Finding Nemo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Pixar's Worst! (SAD MOVIE)
Review: Although I've seen and enjoyed every Pixar film so far I have to say Nemo dissapointed me. This is certainly a sad story, a lonely story about loss which I don't find appropiate for kids. I don't remember anyone dying in any of the previous PIXAR movies and they were still great movies, so why putting the idea of death and loss in the children's mind? Children should laugh and enjoy and we adults should try to let them enjoy thier chilhood and protect them from sadness. There'll be plenty of time for that when they grow up. Visually the movie is great and some of the special features are worth watching too but the storyline is far from being funny. Grab yourself any of the TOY STORIES instead.

Summary: truely moving animated epic
Review: After "Finding Nemo", its becoming more and more doubtful that Pixar knows how to make a bad film. Following "Toy Story", "Toy Story 2", and "Monster's Inc", and "A Bug's Life"(which, though good, was outshined by the similar animated film that year, "Antz"), Pixar seems unable to do wrong. Finding Nemo follows a father's search to find his son who was snatched by a scuba diving dentist. During his seemingly impossible search, he runs into a fish with short term memory loss, Dori(who is played astoundingly well by Ellen DeGeneres). What follows is a surprisingly sweet, gentle, and funny film with spectacular animation. This is a movie that you cannot aford to miss.

Summary: Oh, how the mighty are fallen
Review: Once upon a time PIXXAR actually stood for something. Creativity, innovation, imagination. The fact that they are STILL using their bouncing anglepoise lamp in their title sequencxe is, perhaps, the ultimate proof of how those early signs of excellence have settled, instead, for easy profits and complacent repetition.

This is a typically "cute" Disney-style story, told in typically PIXXAR "Toy Story" manner by a team that have clearly decided to let the machines do all the work and have settled for second best.
Unimaginative, routine, vacuous.

Probably great for kids, but certainly totally unworthy of all the hype.

A few more films like this and in 5 years time no one will remember, or care, who PIXXAR were.
What a sad waste of talent!

STRICTLY AVERAGE.
