Summary: I should be tired of this movie
Review: I should be tired of this movie since every day my 2 year old granddaughter comes over -every other day - the first thing sge does is get the Nemo box from my cabinet and bring it to me saying "Mamu Mamu Mamu" ( Nemo, Nemo, Nemo)I can probably recite most of the dialog. However I never cease to enjoy the movie. It is a masterwork and improves with subsequent viewing - and I ought to know! The graphics are astounding. The rich detail, the funny dialog and the life that Albert Brooks, Ellen Degeneris, and the rest including Willem Dafoe are the life of this movie. The bonus material is fantastic and included on a second disk which also contains the halfscreen ( so called "full" screen) version with the ends chopped off. I have this little rubber shark-topped floating thermometer in my pool. Caitlin calls him Bruce. Oh yeah, the soundtrack in THX is awesome. This is a magnificent acheivement. Bravo. It may be supposed a kids movie but I love it.

Summary: Another fantastic family hit from Pixar
Review: Pixar has outdone themselves once again. "Finding Nemo" is the dramatic, sometimes sad & scary, sometimes drop-dead hilarious, tale (or should I say "tail"?) of a Father trying to find his lost son. In this case, the father (voice over by Albert Brooks), Marlin, is a clownfish living in a sea anemone. His son, Nemo, evokes images of Dicken's "Tiny Tim" character with his defective fin. In light of todays news headlines where children are forcibly kidnapped from their own homes, the opening of the film may be too intense and overwhelming for some sensitive youngsters. As with its other movies ("Toy Story," "Monsters, Inc.," etc.), the story is so well written, it can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. As someone who has a salt water aquarium at home with a pair of clownfish and a regal tang (the species of Dory, played by Ellen DeGeneres), I know first hand how these fish move through water and interact with other fish in the tank. It's obvious that the artists involved in animating these characters studied their biology and behavior for hours on end. A few times, the fish are literally out of the water, and as the water on their skin begins to drip off, you can see the subtle highlights in their scales. Magnificent work. Obviously, the fish are given human-like eyes... a truly necessary component to get you emotionally involved with these characters. Even Bruce, the Great White shark, is an endearing fellow with an Australian accent. Despite the human-like characteristics, the adherence to physiological details on the rest of these species is incredible. The lighting has such an effect that you feel like you are under water with the fish. The gentle swaying of the coral and anemones is surreal... just like the real Great Barrier Reef. In reality, some of these fish would never encounter each other in the wild... and we all know that Starfish do not have eyes or smiley faces... but you do not care about those minor details while watching this film. Dory is the beautiful blue & yellow regal tang fish who teams up with Marlin to find his son. Her tendency to forget almost everything she hears is a part of the charm of this character. Ellen DeGeneres' voice was perfect for this fish. The facial expressions on the characters, modeled after the actors that did their voices, are also priceless. This movie is far more than eye-candy. The story and comedic timing are so good, it could be done with stick-figures and still be good. This movie is an absolute delight. When it is released on DVD, it will immediately be added to my collection - this is a film I could see time and time again. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Summary: Best G rated movie..... EVER!
Review: My little sister got this as a birthday present a few months ago. She watched it once and started to become addicted to it. She watches it almost all the time! (at least when she's not bugging me or watching "brother bear" (her other favorite movie) So of course I had to watch it to see what she was so hyper about. Boy.. was I in for a surprise! I thought it was going to be another stupid disney movie, but I was wrong. Finding Nemo is easily in my top ten movie list and my favorite G rated movie! The animation is terrific and the voices for the charectors were very well picked! (Ellen rocked as Dory and Marlin (whoever that guy was) was cool too. Squirt, what can I say about him?! He's adorable! Adorably animated and adorable voice!) Whoever doesn't like this movie is crazy!

Summary: One Of The Greatest Animated Films Of All Time.
Review: That's it,I have made up my mind.Pixar is undoubtedly the best production company these days.They've made such groundbreaking animated classics as Toy Story,Toy Story 2,Monsters,Inc.,and now,maybe the best 3-D movie they've ever made,Finding Nemo.I think most of you agree with me since it was the biggest movie of 2003,and quite certain deserved to be.
Pros:
1.The Animation Is Truly Breathtaking.Most of the films greatness comes from it's eye-popping animation.From the amazing backgrounds to the greatly-drawn chacracters,this film ahead of it's time,visually speaking.
2.Hilarious For All Ages.This isn't just an ooh and aah experience for children;the movie itself is side-splitting and quick witted,a good example being the hilarious antics of the Tank Gang(i.e.,Deb and her "twin who is really her reflection Flo).This film really deserved the Best Original Screenplay Oscar.
3.Dory!Dory(voiced over by Ellen DeGeneres is pretty much the backbone of the film and is the best and funniest character in the whole film,in my opinion.She is a pro just for being that funny.
4.It's Heartwarming,But Not Too Heartwarming.You just can't help but go "aww" at Marlin and his son,Nemo.Any dad who searches for his kid like that deserves a few "awws".Anyway,the story is very cute,but not so cute that you're reaching for a barf bag,it is just the right level of heartwarming.
Cons:
ABSOLUTELY NONE! The Verdict:This is a captivating film that is really one of the greatest family films of all time,also. Recommended:Yes

Summary: Finding Nemo
Review: Finding Nemo is probably the best kids' movie that I've seen in a while, especially great for those 'in-between' kids at the ages of eight or ten. It's about a sweet little clown fish that gets taken away from his father and world and put in a dentist's office aquarium. His father has to go on this huge journey to save him, and meets all these little sea creatures on the way... But enough about that! What makes Nemo the greatest isn't necessarily the father, Marlin, or the son, Nemo, but all the little supporting characters that know exactly what to say and how to say it. Dory- the blue fish with a memory problem- is hilarious, and so is Bubbles, the yellow tank fish that has a fixation with- you guessed it- bubbles. The graphics are beautiful, as well, and they actually make you seem like you're underwater. Extremely colorful fish and scenery in the beginning, and when you get to the more 'out-there, away-from-fish-civilization' places like the trench, it actually gives you the feeling of danger. I didn't think that it was that physically scary like, say, Spirited Away, or that emotionally scary, like Lilo and Stitch had been, and I think that kids of all ages would love it.

Summary: TOO SCARY to be a G movie!!! Parents beware...
Review: More like "Jaws" than "The Little Mermaid", "Finding Nemo" is an intensely scary movie at points, with violent scenes that are totally inappropriate for younger children. It is a dazzlingly beautiful work of animation, but should be enjoyed by older children and adults. If you are unfamiliar with the film, there is an opening scene where Nemo's mother and siblings are descimated by a vicious barracuda. Later, Nemo's Dad and friend are savagely pursued by a toothsome denison of the deep ( and dark)sea. Lots of jump-out-of-your-seat moments. The big scene with "Bruce the Shark" is less funny than you would think, and the violent chase which ensues, complete with teeth-bared Bruce hammering away at a sunken ship trying to get to the smaller fish inside is brutal. To me "G" = "Winnie the Pooh" or "Teletubbies". I can only conclude a lot of money changed hands somewhere to get this rating(and all the subsequent merchandising). This film is far more disturbing/scary than many PG or even PG-13 movies. Please do NOT show this DVD to your small(under 8) children without viewing it first!

Summary: Fish Are Friends... Not Food.
Review: An overprotective father - Marlin - tries everything he can to hold onto his only son Nemo. Nemo being a young fish, wants to explore the unknown ocean while his dad would much rather have him buy his side at all times. When Nemo disobeys his father, he is caught in a net and taken away only to be placed in a fishtank with other fish. Marlin, accompanied by his new absent-minded friend Dory, sets out to find his son. While Nemo and his tankmates scheme on how to get out of the tank before he becomes the dentist's niece's new pet. This film was very, very well done. No matter what age you are, I think you'll appreciate this film.

Summary: Great Animated Film
Review: Finding Nemo has got to be one of the better animated films in a long time. A clown fish named Marlin travels the waters off the east coast of Australia after losing his son Nemo to a human. Marlin's journey to save his son is filled with memorable characters (including a fish with a bad memory and sharks that have forsworn eating fish) and lots of action. Meanwhile, Nemo's imprisonment in a dentist's aquarium also has its share of memorable characters and humorously "tense" moments. The climax coming when the dentist's precocious (to put it nicely) niece shows up for her surprise gift of a pet fish -- Nemo. The movie's animation is wonderful...with the possible exception of the few human characters...I thought they could have been animated a bit better. This minor point aside, Finding Nemo should be seen by all...young and young-at-heart alike.

Summary: More Genius from Pixar
Review: As usual for Pixar, the characters in this CGI film are colorful and interesting for children and adults. Loyalty, friendship and faith dominate the characteristics of the main characters and there are no real "bad guys" or "scary guys" that would otherwise frighten small children--even the sharks are well-behaved which gave me the best laughs in the film. I'm smiling right now as I write this remembering their pep talks to each other during their "life-affirming" meetings--hilarious! The developers at Pixar continue to amaze me with their ongoing improvements in the beautiful worlds they create with this newest medium. The scenes were simply dazzling at times--a real delight to the eye. I found myself replaying the DVD to certain scenes just so I could take it all in once again. The games and other activities for children included on the 2 DVDs, (I have the 2-DVD collector's addition) are clever and fun. I highly recommend this DVD set for people of ALL ages!
