Summary: A touching tale of father and son love.
Review: Ironically, I saw this movie with my 9 year old son, and I must have to say that despite the maker's comedic intent, I was moved to tears a number of times during the movie.

Finding Nemo is a wonderfully funny and emotional tale of one father's quest to find his lost son. In the process, the father learns a few things about being overprotective, being more of a father than a "nervous-nellie" to his son, and he comes to appreciate the special togetherness that only a son can bring.

A wonderful story for the entire family.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: People are way to thick-headed...
Review: This movie is not scary, for those people that say that 'it's to scary for little kids!' Grow up! For crying out loud, this movie is pure brilliance. The humor is great for everyone, and the story, yes, it is, deep. The characters at delightful (I shall call him squishy!), Dory, Marlin, Gill, Deb (and her sister Flo:-) ) and all of the other "named" characters are a hoot to watch. Every fish has their own personality. This movie is all about trust. And for those over-bearing and protective parents, if the movie does scare your little child, how on earth do you expect them to live in the real world?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: amazing visuals
Review: Has there ever been a better-looking feature-length animated film than "Finding Nemo"? We doubt it. With its shimmering underwater landscapes - be they in the vast immensity of a limitless ocean or the cramped confines of a dentist office aquarium - the film sports a look unlike anything we have ever seen before. The fish tank setting, in particular, is a veritable wonderland of eye-popping, many-hued visual splendor.

Although the script by Andrew Stanton doesn't scale the comedic heights of, say, "Aladdin," "Shrek" or "Toy Story 2," it still sparkles with enough wit and inventiveness to entrance youngsters and beguile the grownups who will be joining them in their viewing. I hasten to point out that the screenplay is blessedly free of all the double entendres and off-color humor that have blighted so much alleged "kiddie" fare in recent years. This is a film one can watch with one's children and grandchildren and not once have to blush or turn away in embarrassment while doing so. Creators of children's films please take note (and take note, too, of its phenomenal box office take).

Like many tales designed for the junior set ("Dumbo," "Bambi" etc.), "Finding Nemo" taps into the fear all children have of being separated from their parents - and the concomitant fear all parents have of being separated from their children. It is upon this common ground that members of both generations will meet in their emotional response to this film. In this case, it is little Nemo, an adorable clownfish, who is plucked out of the ocean and plunked down into the saltwater aquarium of a dentist in Sydney, Australia. The subject of the film's title is Marlin, Nemo's overprotective, worrywart dad who swims his way towards the continent to find and rescue his little tyke. Along the way, this Nervous Nellie parent learns a little something about giving his son the freedom a boy needs to grow up and become a man, and Nemo, himself, learns a thing or two about just what kind of a fish his dad really is.

Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres are brilliant as Marlin and Dory, respectively, the latter a befuddled, daffy and utterly good-natured fish who helps Marlin in his epic quest not only for his lost son but his own definition of filial love. Those familiar with these two fine comedic talents in their live-action performances will actually be able to see many of their distinctive inflections and facial expressions reflected in the animated characters they are portraying.

As directed by Stanton and Lee Unkrich, and executed by an army of wonder-working animators and technicians, "Finding Nemo" takes PIXAR technology to its ultimate, final level of perfection - till the studio's next release, that is.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny, Beutiful, and another Disney Hit!
Review: This movie has that traditional Disney storyline, a parent dies, someone dear to the main character is lost and a quest is begun, by the end of the movie everything is right in the sea, dont get me wrong there it so much humor and beuty in this movie. It realy is a masterpeice even if it does have a used story line. The fish are brimming with personality and flavor so I dont see why anyone should not own this! Even if you dont have kids!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: IT SUCKED I HATED IT
Review: This movie was horrible I hated it and thats a surprise, because I usually like Disney and Pixar movies.The only reason this piece of trash got 2 stars from me is because the little turtle( i think his name is Squirt) is cool ( star 1). The second star is because I felt bad only leaving one star. I may hate this movie but I love it compared to sept. 22 reviewer from Freddy vs. Jason. Well thats it, this move blows don't see it. 'till next time everybody. Later

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OWEN LIKED NEMO, NEMO LIKES OWEN:>) HA!
Review: THE VIVID COLORS ARE SPECTACULAR, TEXTURE RICH AND VERY HIGH DEFINITION.
CHARMING, SWEET STORY, AND LOTS OF OUT LOUD LAUGHS FROM ME---THE HIGH DEF DETAIL, MAKES TOY STORY AND A BUGS LIFE LOOK LIKE THEY WE'RE MADE BEFORE THIS BETTER HIGH TECH QUALITY (IN MY OPINION).

Summary: Disney wins again.
Review: This has to be one of the sweetest movies I have seen in quite awhile. I generally do not like Disney movies - they make little girls think their lives cannot be happy unless they marry a prince. Finding Nemo just makes me happy to be a parent .. and I held my daughter even tighter.
