 "The Best Children's Film. (that period to the left is important)" | 2009-10-25 |

Of all the children's movies I own, my daughter loves Finding Nemo the best and that in turn has had me watch Finding Nemo about 327 times. Thankfully it is a wonderful movie and the more I watched it the more I came to appreciate all the wonderful nuances of the story.
Basically this is a story of two clown fish: a father and a son. The son, Nemo, is captured by a diver who is also a dentist. Nemo winds up in the dentist's aquarium. Nemo's dad begins a quest to find his son making all kinds of friends along the way while Nemo and the rest of the aquarium fish plot how to escape.
It's a wonderful story and no wonder it has made hundreds of millions of dollars.
In addition to the great story, the visual rendering is just plain gorgeous. Everything is so crisp and vivid - it's like being in the ocean or in an aquarium.
If you have a child - do yourself a favor and get this for your kid. It has a ton of cautionary tales built in like "don't go with strangers" ---- my daughter keeps asking, "I want to see Nemo going with a stranger." and she buries her head against my chest when Nemo gets captured.
In addition, when your kid gets hooked on Nemo at least you can retain your sanity after watching it 200+ times....there are some shows out there that would just plain drive me nuts if I had to watch more than once. Nemo fortunately, is not one of them.
Get it and enjoy with your kid. |

Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich's "Finding Nemo" is a worthy addition to the Pixar cannon. Undoubtedly it will endure as a family favorite for years to come.
An overprotective clownfish named Marlin (Albert Brooks) embarks on a search for his son Nemo (Alexander Gould) after losing him to a scuba diver collecting aquarium samples. Nemo eventually winds up in a fish tank in a dentist's office surrounded by a motley crew of other captives who similarly have escape on their minds. With a hippo tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) in tow, Marlin braves hazard after hazard and traverses vast distances in a determined quest to return his son home.
The Pixar animators distinguish themselves with "Finding Nemo" as every frame of the film is infused with dazzling detail and colors. However, all the pretty images in the world would amount to nothing without a quality script to complement them. Fortunately, screenwriters Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds deliver a winner of a screenplay that is full of heart and charm. The father-son relationship between Marlin and Nemo is beautifully realized and captures the feelings of sadness, fear, and pride that all fathers experience when their child seeks to strike out on his own. As with all Pixar efforts, the voice cast is top-notch with Brooks, Gould, DeGeneres, Willem Dafoe, Allison Janney, Austin Pendleton, and Geoffrey Rush all providing memorable moments. Chalk up "Finding Nemo" as another well-deserved feather in Pixar's cap. |

The trailer for the Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo showed only two Seagulls floating on the crust of the ocean. A bubble pops up from below the sea making it appear as though one of the Seagulls passed gas. One Seagull looks at the other and says "nice." (We don't find out until we actually watch the movie that the bubble which surfaced was created by a massive explosion caused by Marlin and Dory attempting to escape from Bruce, the shark that views fish as "friends not food" but is sometimes overwhelmed by temptation...)
Based on the preview I had no way of knowing that I was sitting down to watch what would become known as quite possibly the best Disney animated feature of the DECADE. This film is so good that it can be watched again and again and again and never get old.
The film has become so popular that there is now a ride at Disneyland which allows Nemo fans to embark on an undersea adventure with Marlin, Nemo, Dory, Crush, Bruce, and even the Seagulls that yelp "Mine, mine mine"! [...]. There is a section on the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage in this book: The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2009 (Unofficial Guides)
Overall I would definitely have to say this movie gets five stars and is, in my opinion, far and above every film Disney has released since. Other Disney animated features such as CARS and Wall-E are certainly close behind, but none can top Nemo.
In conclusion, my original expectations for this film were that I would simply be able to find Nemo throughout the course of the film, but I actually "found" a lot more. I found the most thrilling Disney film since Fantasia! |
