Summary: Another Amazing Pixar Offering.
Comment: I honestly thought the trend with movie companies was that when they have tremendous success with their first and second films they eventually begin to slide in quality. At least until they hit that next big pinnacle film that makes them a massive wad of cash. Pixar have done the impossible with Finding Nemo. As their 5th feature film Finding Nemo was equally as solid and original as its predecessors, and if anything it has surpassed them.
Set deep in the coral reef of Australia, a family of clown fish are one day attacked by a Barracuda leaving the Father Marlin and one egg. Flash forward a few years and that egg is a young clown fish named Nemo who's been raised by his overprotective Father. One day while at school and becoming tired of his dads suffocating ways, Nemo ignores his dads order to come away from a human boat. Nemo goes and touches the boat, but unfortunately it leads to Nemo being kidnapped by a diver, catching fish for a small aquarium. Nemo's dad Marlin must now set on a quest towards Sydney harbour to try and Find Nemo. Along the way he becomes friends with a Regal Tang fish called Dory who suffers from short term memory loss, but is still very optimistic. She joins Marlin in his quest to find Nemo, although Marlin does have to keep reminding her why she's with him. Along the way they encounter psychotic practising vegetarian sharks, deadly jellyfish and turtles riding the waves. Nemo on the other hand is trapped inside a small fish tank in a dentists surgery, he befriends the fish locked up with him and hopes for eventual help.
As you can see from the plot this is simply a formula of crazy success and pure hilarity. The formula works wonders and delivers a film not just beautiful to look at, but something to wet your pants with laughter. The companion Dory and the vegetarian sharks are just insanely unique and make this movie special in itself. Dory, voiced by Ellen Degeneres is just loveable and admirable with her unmeasurable optimism and her talent to speak whale. With the adventure of Marlin (Albert Brooks) & Dory on their quest the film also focuses on Nemo trying to break out of the tank before he's given to the dentists daughter as a pet. Led by the crafty Gill (Willem Defoe) and helped by the other tank fish, they hatch a plan which will allow Nemo his last chance of freedom.
I did mention that it was beautiful to look at and I wasn't kidding. The scale of the ocean is second to none, and the animators seem to be looking to display the true scale of their quest. The beginning reef scene is something to be witnessed and I can't imagine how cool it would look on Blu-Ray. This is a film with a script and plot with confidence, Pixar do what they do best and they give us a quality film that teaches us a good lesson about letting go when the time is right while still having the entire family in stitches.
The term family film is thrown around a lot when relating to Disney or other children's movies. I can honestly say that Finding Nemo is one of the only movies to fit that perfectly. It teaches the parents a lesson about knowing when to let their kids make their own mistakes, while showing the kids the importance of friendship and respect for our elders. It has the typical childish humour while throwing in the odd adult joke that will go straight over the kids heads.
A great film all round and I sincerely can't wait for it to be on Blu-Ray.

Summary: Brilliant Movie for Everyone
Comment: Without a doubt Pixar's best movie. There are so many profound messages in this about parenthood, friendship, trust, faith. I cheered out loud when Dory told Marlin, "Well you can't never let anything happen to him. Then nothing would ever happen to him. Not much fun for little Harpo."
This movie is for everyone, adults and kids alike. It will make you laugh, cry, and remember why you love movies, especially beautifully animated family films. This is a must see and must buy. I guarantee you'll watch it again and again.

Summary: It was pretty decent
Comment: I had purchased this one because my 3 year old twins decided to snap the previous one that we had. The packaging was okay shape, definitely no worse than the packaging my old one had already been in. The back side of the DVD was pretty smudgy, when I took it out. Just thought to myself- "wow, they didnt even attempt to wipe it off first". I was able to rub all the smudges out and it played perfectly fine. Overall I was pretty satisfied with it. It played long enough to get me through dinner preperation, so hey, you're a-ok with me.

Summary: The best Disney movie since the Lion King
Comment: Everyone has seen Disney's downward spiral and many badly written, stupid or generally crappy Disney movies, but Finding Nemo is probably one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. This is sweet, exciting, funny, touching, and everything a Disney movie should be.

Summary: The Best Animated movie!!!!
Comment: I absolutely love this movie and it my favorite Pixar movie to date. The colors are fabulous, the storyline is good and the voice over actors are really good. I'm not a huge fan of Ellen DeGeneres but she does a wonderful job as Dory. This is also a movie that adults will enjoy just as much as the kids do. This one also can be used as a teaching tool (consequences of not listening to parent, parent not listening to child, etc.) Highly recommended to all.
