Amazon.co.uk Review
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
Video Description
From the Academy Award-winning creators of Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., it’s time to dive into Finding Nemo - a hilarious adventure where you’ll meet colourful characters that take you into the breathtaking underwater world of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken to a dentist’s office aquarium. It’s up to Marlin, his worrisome father, and Dory, a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish, to make the epic journey to bring Nemo home. Their adventure leads them face-to-face with vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls and more. Marlin discovers a bravery he never knew, but will he be able to find his son? Finding Nemo’s breakthrough computer animation takes you into a whole new world with this undersea adventure about family, courage and challenges.

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!

There is not much to be said that has not already been covered in the reviews written but I would just like to add that this 2 disc collectors edition is amazing. It is really double the fun because there is so much more to watch and enjoy.
I guess I am already preaching to the converted if you are ready this but Nemo is a firm winner in our house.

Afetr constant nagging from my 7yr old, I gave in and bought this. Its cleverly done with a nice story. My son recognised many of the fish from a visit to "The Deep" in Hull.
