Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not really a "must see", more a "hey look, it's Nemo. . ."
Review: My 5-year-old loooooves this movie, and I find it to be pretty harmless.

Yeah, good, cute, family flick.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not a bad effort
Review: Nemo has its moments. Vegetarian sharks? Wonderful idea! A dentist that inflicts mahem on his patients? Ah my childhood nightmares take flight again! The world's dummest fish as a companion? Hilarious!

Yes this film has its moments and the animation is quite first class.

But if you want to see how a cartoon made for kids can appeal to adults, try "Ice Age". For me the humor in "Ice Age" was far more sophisticated and endearing to adults.

Nemo wins out for animation but for a compact, well told story without a minute of waste, it just doesn't compare to "Ice Age". Overall I rate Nemo as a young kid's movie that parents can chuckle over. Much better than Monsters Inc which was really just a one-joke flick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the best
Review: This guys just set another standard in animation. If you think Disney is the number 1, think again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Family Favorite
Review: I love this movie and we watch it over and over again. The characters are really and believeable (as far as talking fish can be believeable.) The boy who does the voice for Nemo does a great job at "not" acting. He even kind of stammers when talking about Sandy Plankton in the beginning of the movie which makes his character even more real. The visuals are awesome, although, they really need to work on making the actual people look better and not so computer generated. The plot good for little kids though a little lacking for me. When Marlin (the dad) and Nemo finally meet up again there is little emotional rejoicing on my part. It seems as though the moment was a little overdue. The humor in the movie is funny and keeps me laughing even after watching it several times.
On behalf of my 2 year-old son I must say that he does enjoy this movie, especially the sharks. He is a little scared by Bruce until he starts laughing then my son starts laughing. It's also a great way to introduce him to some underwater life.
Pixar does give this film a different feel that the light-hearted predecessors, but that's not a bad thing. If that's what you are looking for it this movie you may be disappointed in the offering. Just like with music and musicians each release should (hopefully) offer the public something different and not the same product just repackaged. Pixar contiunes to bring high quality films with high quality stories to families and I will continue looking forward to their next release.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not for younger kids...
Review: I thought Finding Nemo was very cute, but it didn't hold my 1 1/2 year old's attention very well, which is who I bought the DVD for in the first place. The graphics are fantastic, and the plot line very good. Perhaps he'll like it more once he's a little older!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just OK
Review: First I'd like to say this movie was big time overrated, but it was an ok movie. However I do wonder why this movie is rated G and is made for kids but they say Fu** on the commentary?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fishing for Nemo
Review: Finding Nemo
By: Natalie
Swim your way into a seat and hold your breath for a fishtastic movie.

Animation but a laugh out loud experience, you will never forget this outrageous movie. If you've seen FINDING NEMO, you must have given it a two thumbs up.

Director Andrew Stanton did a great job directing and putting all the scenes in the perfect spot. He also did a great job working with Disney Motion Picture and Pixar Animation.

FINDING NEMO is an any age movie for anyone who loves comedy, excitement and fish. Rated G, It's the kind of movie you can watch over and over for 1 hr and 40 minutes at a time, without getting tired of listening to the characters and the voices.

In the begining, Marlin (Albert Brooks) loses his son Nemo (Alexander Gould), and through the movie he has a lot of adventures trying to find Nemo. He meets a blue fish named Dorie (Ellen DeGeneres) who is also a main character, a Great White Shark named Bruce (Barry Mumphries), a group of jelly fish, two sea turtles who's names are Squirt (Nicholas Bird) and Crush (Andrew Stanton), and one Nigel the pelican (Geoffrey Rush).

In one part of the movie Nemo is in a tank in a dentist office and makes some friends, Bloat (Brad Garrett), Floe (Vicki Lewis), Gill (William Dafoe), Jacquas (Joe Ranft), and Peach (Allison Janney). Nemo goes up a tube to stop the tanks cleaning system, so he takes a blue pebble and swims up a tube and wedges the pebble between very sharp spinning blades. So when he is swimming out the tube the pebble squeezes out and the blades start spinning again. Nemo starts to get sucked in so all the fish in the tank have to pull him out.

FINDING NEMO is a great movie and I encourage you or whoever is reading this to see FINDING NEMO because it is filled with laughs, family times, and loads and loads of sea creatures, with a little mixture of people in it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cute n' Funny at the Same Time ^^
Review: I loved the movie. The graphics were absolutly breath-taking. They were very detailed and beautiful. Besides the graphics, the story was so cute and funny. You can never get tired of watching this movie. Usually i don't find "children movies" entertaining. I just think they're cute. But "Finding Nemo" is a movie that every family member can enjoy. The characters are wonderful and halarious and the lines that the characters say are perfectly fitting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is Animation Excellence!
Review: My wife and I viewed this with our 6 year-old daughter and we ALL had a BLAST!!! The music, art, and animation was WONDERFUL! This is definitely a movie to get for the family DVD collection! My HIGHEST FAMILY Recommendation!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My 3-year old enjoyed it
Review: I believe she enjoyed Nemo very much, as she watched the whole 100+ minutes of it WITHOUT going to the bathroom !!! Doubtless I had to explain some points to her (why Nemo's mother is missing etc) but she was able to follow the story most the time. The silliness of Dory was lost on her, but then she may be a bit too young to understand fully the memory lost / forgetfulness of adults.

She wasn't scared of the shark nor of the whale. The pictures were very clear (and seemed real to her), we could even see the fish scales.

Other than that, all in all, the story has a happy ending (of course :-), and if she could give points, I think she'll give this 5 stars. I gave this 4 stars, and recommend this for kids of all ages.
