Summary: This movie was soooo adorable!!!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie and I'm a single 21 year old woman.
This movie made you laugh and cry at the same time. It was one of the best animated films I've seen in years. Wonderful for children and adults I'd see it more than once. A video to own.
Parents, buy this for your kids if you don't buy them any other movie!

Summary: Underwater Excellence
Review: I wonder if it's in the water, because there's something fishy going on at Pixar. (puns intended) It seems they can do no wrong as each film outing seems to be hailed by critics, audiences, and pretty much everyone as cinematic gems. Their latest Finding Nemo is certainly no exception and can stand right alongside Toy Story, Monsters Inc and the rest as movie magic. When I watch these films I almost forget they're actually some pretty impressive computer work because they stories and characters are so appealing and well done. Pixar is the ultimate "family film" creators not because they create great films that kids can watch, but they makes films that everyone can not only watch, but enjoy things on their own level. In that way they're not only the new Disney, but the new Muppets as well.The visuals of Finding Nemo are that much more adventurous and successful than it's predecessors. The work that went into not only creating a assortment of under-sea creatures but their environments (and the actual water) is awe evoking. It's amazing how much hard work we instantly take for granted in these films because the visual work is so, well, perfect that we don't have thoughts to find any flaws in it (I'm pretty sure there aren't any anyways). The recreation of Sydney Harbor is pitch perfect and it's just a treat to sti back and take it all in. Our story revolves around a overprotective clownfish, Marlin (Albert Brooks), who lost his wife and all but one egg to a shark attack and all he is left with is Nemo (Alexander Gould), his young adventurous son. Nemo is his life and he won't chance losing him too so he goes overboard in sheltering him. You can see where the story is going with a son that wants to break free and a parent who needs to learn to let go and two people that need to meet in the middle of it all. Nemo finally does break free and does so too boldly and becomes a capture of a Sydney, Australia dentist who makes Nemo a resident of his office fish tank. Marlin can't let his life slip away so easily and sets out to rescue his son any way he can. Marlin is joined by a blue tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) who becomes his son away from Nemo in many ways, but only this time he allows his companion to have the freedom they deserve. DeGeneres is achingly funny as the memory challenged fish and Brooks is ideal to play a neurotic worrywart like Marlin. Along their trip they meet a group of fish-free sharks ("fish are friends, not food" is their mantra), navigate a visually breathtaking jelly-fish field, and catch some waves with some surfer dude style turtles. Nemo's tale involves his initiation into the fish tank crew and their plans to help him get back to the ocean, which is plotted out by a fellow ocean native Gill (Willem Dafoe), an Idol fish. The tank crew provided many of my favorite parts of the film, especially their knowledge of dentistry they've picked up in their extended stay in the tank. They've also got a contact on the outside, a pelican (Geoffrey Rush) called Nigel, who ends up playing the middle man and ends up helping the two groups find each other. I think as of right now Finding Nemo is the funniest in the Pixar cannon and I consistently found myself laughing. The casting is perfection, as is the norm for these films, and I can't express enough times how great the likes of DeGeneres, Dafoe, and Rush were in this film. I've almost forgotten to mention the fantastic sound design that helps complete the experience, as well as the nifty score by Thomas Newman, who gives Pixar a change from the usual Randy Newman score. The film has morals throughout, but the best part of them is that they're given time to work themselves out in a natural way and are rarely forced out. So hats off to Pixar and Andrew Stanton who have once again struck gold on pretty much every level with grand entertainment for both young and old.

Summary: Exceptional film from Pixar
Review: First a warning--the opening sequence can be a bit frightening for small children. I'm not recommending against taking them to see it as it will create an opportunity for dialog with your kids, just make sure to prepare them for it or be willing to talk about it. Finding Nemo is another winner from Pixar. The opening sequence is amazingly detailed with eye popping animation that puts to shame just about any of the other computer generated animated epics that Hollywood has felt compelled to churn out lately. The story is fairly simple--the story focuses on Marlin's (Albert Brooks)attempt to find his son Nemo. Nemo disappears after he attempts to run away from home. He's captured by a Diver and Marlin's attempt to rescue his son begins. He's assisted by a dim fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres). Dory's lame brained attempt to help Marlin gets them into as much trouble but, ultimately, contributes to their salvation as well. Like Toy Story 1 & 2, A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo deals with many of the universal fears that children have. What sets it apart from other animated features is the witty script and the vitality of the visuals. Nemo manages to deal with frightening and common subject matters in a positive way that reflects the very qualities that parents try to pass along to their children. The soap box "message" quality one expects from such a film is buried deeply within an entertaining and thought provoking film. The performances by Brooks, DeGeneres and the talented cast contributes to the winning quality of the film. Films have always been puzzles; if all the pieces don't fit together properly, it doesn't matter what the image looks like, it just won't seem right. Pixar has managed to produce another winner and provide salvation for the adult who doesn't want to take their kid to another mind numbing children's film.

Summary: Excellent. Pixar did it again.
Review: I love this movie. A timid father, Marlin and his friend Dori are out to find his son Nemo when he was kidnapped by a human. First off, the animation is totally spectacular, and the chracaters bring lots of laughs. I can't wait for the DVD.

Summary: Good, a little scary for younger kids...still 5 stars
Review: My 4-year old twins were very excited to see this movie after having seen plenty of hype on tv regarding its release. There is a very good Pixar short at the beginning of the film, I think my kids liked this as much as the movie! Don't show up late or get stuck in the popcorn line or you will miss it! Now on with the show..The movie starts with Marlin (Albert Brooks) and his wife (sounds like the wife from Emperor's New Groove) expecting 400 children (well, they are fish). Then (scary music here) a big old meanie fish shows up. My son didn't like this..he hid his face. But they don't show the wife and kids getting eaten up(except one--Nemo.) The rest of the story is about Nemo's Dad being overprotective and Nemo asserting his freedom..then learning about each other after losing each other, and of course (..and I don't think this is a spoiler, after all it is Disney...) finding each other at the end.
Ellen Degeneres is Marlin's sidekick (Dory) during his search for Nemo. She is really good...great timing on the lines. Albert Brook's is typical Brooks-but even if you don't like him..he is neurotic-good in this part. They meet other characters along the way...the turtles are great. (Some are spot-the-celebrity-voice scenes.) Some of the scenes are a little scary for some of the kids (especially the dark scene at the really deep part of the ocean...I was even a little scared of that fish!) Meanwhile, Nemo finds himself as a pet in a Dentist's office waiting to be adopted by a fish-shaking-niece soon. He doesn't want to be "belly-up" with her so he and his tank-mates try to come up with escape plans. The tank scenes are terrific. Don't miss Mount Wanahockalugie! Really cute movie overall. There seemed to be alot of little jokes throughout..some I am sure I didn't catch on one viewing. Funny stuff aimed at the parents in the audience. It's nice when the parents can get a little chuckle in here and there in a kid's movie--nothing really off-color or anything. The stingray (the children-fish's teacher) was singing here and there and what I could catch was great! I would like to view this over and over on DVD to catch all the quick stuff. I don't think it was too scary for my kids...they talked about it favorably later...and upon subsequent viewings the scary things don't come out of nowhere and hopefully won't scare them anymore. Definately better than the last few Disney releases (Treasure Planet, Lilo and Stitch and even better that Monster's Inc. which was a little scary, too come to think about it.) I will definately be on the pre-order DVD list for this one!

Summary: Amazing animated feature!!
Review: I loved "Finding Nemo!" The animation was truly amazing.. The undersea setting would seem quite a challenge for animators, but they rose to the challenge 100%. There are scenes in the film where I almost gasped at how realistic it all looked! The story teaches many good lessons and the characters' interaction is meaningful and completely hilarious much of the time. I especially loved the blue tang character voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, she appears dim-witted and yet, at times, she is truly wise. There is so much I want to say about this film, but I don't want to reveal too much.. I'm 26, I'm a Pixar fan and I was pleased!!

Summary: Find it, keep it.
Review: The opening sequence of 'Finding Nemo' is very powerful. And it does explain why Nemo's father is over-protective. But Nemo has enough when his father embarasses him in front of new friends--and he defies the rules. Nemo is caught. His father then spends most of the movie trying to find him. That is an adventure. And Nemo has his own adventure that proves to be just as fun. There are a few good messages in this film that both parents and kids will appreciate. The animation and story are excellent. But one thing is missing...music. There were a couple of times I wished for a song to come on. The character of Dory makes up for this. She is one wacky fish. but for some reason, you would just love to have her as a friend. Rated G. Includes the animated short 'Knick-Knack'. No outtakes at the time of this review.
