Summary: Finding something great
Review: I loved this movie. The animation was great as usual and I loved the storyline. Right up there with the children's book "Runaway Bunny", this is another story of a parent letting a child know "wherever you are, I will find you". The supporting cast is fabulous and I loved that Willem Dafoe is excellent as the veteran fish, Gill. I was suprised that Eric Bana was the voice of Anchor the shark, just as he was making his debut as The Hulk!

Big laughs with Pixar favorite, John Ratzenberger, as the school of fish with a fondness for charades!

Summary: A Fun Flick For All Ages
Review: When I noticed that there are already so many reviews of FINDING NEMO, I decided there is no need to write another. But then I thought, why not add my voice in praise of a truly enjoyable film?

FINDING NEMO is simply an enjoyable film, nothing more, nothing less. Like so many Disney animated features, the film tells a story of tragedy and triumph, in a way that children can understand and adults can enjoy. FINDING NEMO is no exception.

The film tells the story of a small clownfish named Nemo who gets caught by a scuba diver and ends up in a dentist's aquarium. The plot tells of the ways in which Nemo plans to return to his father and the methods that Nemo's father Marlin uses in his attempt to find his son. Along the way the father encounters great dangers, but he meets a range of characters along the way including a new found friend named Dory and a group of sea turtles with personalities that resemble "surfer dudes." Eventually the two are reunited, but this is only after much intrigue and some interesting plot twists.

Like other Pixar features produced by Disney (TOY STORY immediately comes to mind), there is more to FINDING NEMO than meets the eye. The depiction of the underwater world is amazing and oceanographically correct as far as environment and natural enemies are concerned. The story deals with pain and loss when Merlin loses his wife and most of his children, and the bond he has with Nemo is realistic. Nemo has a slight disability (a shortened fin) but yearns to be like the other fish, again a realistic touch. Dory is a loyal friend and the friendship between Marlin and Dory is touching to say the least. Marlin needs Dory's enthusiasm and Dory needs Marlin due to her won disabilities (short term memory loss chief among them). The dentist and his diabolical niece Darla add an amusing touch.

I have found that children who see the movie love it for its special effects, but adults find the film moving. When the movie was playing in theatres, some parents did have to take small children out at the beginning because of the death of Coral, Marlin's wife, so parents may want to keep this in mind and skip the opening scenes. It is truly a film that crosses generational boundaries, as the box office figures show, and it destined to become another Disney Classic. The DVD set has many interesting bonus features including a documentary about the making of the film and virtual underwater aquariums.

Summary: Dory is the Best and Funniest !
Review: I thought "Finding Nemo" was very good. The animation is fantastic - realistic, which is typical of Pixar. The storyline was good, and the characters were, for the most part, great. Dory, the fish with a short-term memory problem, was hilarous! The pelican, too, was very funny. I can't see how kids can help but love this charming movie. Even many adults will enjoy it, even if only for the wonderful colors, animation, and humor. Very well done Pixar!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: This movie is so cute! Another wonderful creation from Pixar! The Animation is wonderful, the plot is very good, & its a movie for everyone. This is one movie that didn't disappoint and it deserves all the good hype. It's one of the best movies of 2003. I wish more animated movies were like this! The script is good, the plot is well developed, & the animation is top notch. I highly recommend this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must See
Review: I thought Finding Nemo was a pretty good movie for kids and grown-ups alike because it teaches us about relationships and the responsibilities involved and how even though we are separated love never dies if it is a parent/child or a romatic interest. Crush will relate to the "cool" generation, Dorie to the older ones, and of course Nemo to the young ones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very very nice
Review: The title makes it appear to be not so great.. but then the animation is great!! and the story line is also very very good.. there were moments were i was holding my breath to see what happens next.. i'm glad i got the DVD.. the first scene was a little disturbing to little kids, so you may want to skip it initially..

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The CG is great!
Review: I didn`t really like the actual story, but the computer graphic was very amazing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie!
Review: I thought this movie was very cute, for any age!

I LOVED Dory! She made the movie much funnier! If you haven't seen this movie yet, you should!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining but NOT a classic!
Review: I'm probably setting myself up for condemnation from most that have viewed this film, but I just don't think it's that good. Sure, the animation is breathtaking, the voice talent is unsurpassed, the characters are quite engaging, and the movie's length is "family friendly".

However, as appealing as it is, it lacks the witty humor that one has come to expect from Disney/Pixar collaborations. Other than "the look", it doesn't seem as if this film came from the same studio that produced "Toy Story" or "A Bug's Life".

Even the Aussie locale was better handled better in "The Rescuers Down Under".

I actually found "Lilo & Stitch" to be a bit more "literate", and I didn't really like that one.

Perhaps, the folk can get with the writer of the infinitely superior "The Emperor's New Groove" and get it together for the certainly-to-come "Nemo 2".

My verdict on "Finding Nemo": 3.5 stars, rounded off to 4!
