A delightful undersea world unfolds in Pixar's animated adventure Finding Nemo. When his son Nemo is captured by a scuba diver, a nervous clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) sets off into the vast--and astonishingly detailed--ocean to find him. Along the way he hooks up with a scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who's both a help and a hindrance, sometimes at the same time. Faced with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans and much more, Marlin rises above his neuroses in this wonderfully funny and thrilling ride--rarely do more than 10 minutes pass without a sequence appearing that's destined to become a theme-park attraction. Pixar continues its run of impeccable artistic and economic successes (Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc). Supporting voices here include Willem Dafoe, Geoffrey Rush and Allison Janney. --Bret Fetzer

Format:DVD
Finding Nemo is, quite simply, brilliant. Computer animation has come on in leaps and bounds since the days of Toy Story (1995) and Finding Nemo stunningly attests to this. From the vibrantly coloured and gently undulating coral on the reef, to the murky depths of Sydney harbour, to the clever use of reflection and refraction off the fish tank, this is a film in which the constantly changing scenery is a large part of its attraction. The original and well-judged score enhances the viewer's sense of wonder and their empathy with the characters.
But computer wizardry alone cannot create a great film. Finding Nemo is also blessed with an action-packed story and lots of laughs (largely courtesy of Dory - a well-meaning blue tang fish with short-term memory loss). Nemo is a young clown fish, eager to test his boundaries, who is caught by a diver and taken to an aquarium in Sydney. Whilst there, he makes friends with a motley collection of aquatic creatures who help him plot his escape. Meanwhile, his over-protective father, Marlin, begins a frantic quest to find his son. Along the way he is helped and hindered by three new-age sharks, some bodacious-dude turtles, a whale, and a monstrous angler fish (amongst others).
And yes, the ending may be a little mushy, but after such an epic adventure, the viewer will find the sentimentality relatively easy to stomach. Indeed, the character development is surprisingly deep for a children's movie, and it's a nice change to have not every character being entirely good or bad. Parents in the audience will certainly identify with Marlin's dilemma of wanting to protect his child, and yet coming to realise that the time comes when one has to let go a little.

Marlin is a single parent Clownfish, his son Nemo was born with a bad fin after his egg was attacked by a Barracuda. After losing his wife and all but one child, Marlin becomes the over-protective parent, even more so when Nemo is born with his bad fin. When Nemo is taken by divers on his first day of school, Marlin sets out to find his son. On the way he meets Dory, the Blue Tang fish with a severe short term memory problem.
Finding Nemo is a beautiful film, not only creatively (the animation is amazing, you really feel like you're under the sea)but the characters are actually quite easy to relate to (especially if you're a parent). The adults actually enjoy the film much more than the kids (My Dad, Uncle, Aunt and Grandparents all huddled round the television set when it first came out on DVD, while us kids went and played games).
If you're going to take anything away from this movie, it's that you should cherish the time with your children, instead of just keeping them safe (I'm not saying not keep them safe, what I mean is that as well as keeping them safe, have fun with your children).
One more home run for Pixar!

Nemo and his paranoid dad Marlon live under the sea in a sheltered existance (after the death of Nemo's mother and sibling eggs) until Nemo's first day of school where he is abducted by a diver and destined to live the rest of his life in a fish tank... or belly up in a bag as a present to hideously ugly, violent human girl Darla. Meanwhile, Marlon and his newfound companion, amnesia suffering fish Dory travel the sea, encountering sea turtles and jellyfish, amongst others, in their search for Nemo.
This film is so much fun and good for all ages. The two disc edition is packed with fantastic extras, and is one peice of amazing family entertainment. Do not believe what you hear about it being over-rated... watch it first and make your own opinon. It's hilarious, sensationally constructed and captivating to the last second. If you take my advice, you'd watch it.
