You have to find this! - Finding Nemo Reviews

It's a strange sensation knowing that Pixar has made such an excellent film out of something that could have easily been terrible. And perhaps that's one of the reasons I embrace this film so full-heartedly. This tale of a lost little clownfish at first sounds like a tale only enjoyable to 5-year-olds, but is as engaging to adults with it's genuine humor and pure emotional content. Very rare indeed that a CG character is able to express themselves fully, not to mention this comes from a CG fish. Finding Nemo is a tale about Nemo, a young clownfish (and sole survivor of a barracuda attack when he was still a larve) and his father Marlin (voiced by the amazing Albert Brooks). Marlin is worrier, constantly being overprotective of his son for the slightest things (I don't have to tell you that Nemo is getting more and more fed up by it as he is growing up). It is when Nemo is on a field trip to the edge of the reef that Nemo is taken by a couple of scuba divers. Marlin chases right after, but is no match keeping up with a boat. It is then that he meets Dory (played with incredible zeal by Ellen Degeneres), a blue fish with a serious problem. The two of them take on sharks, jellyfish, meet turtles and whales as they journey to Sydney to find Nemo. It is hard to find only one thing about this film that is remarkable. In fact, I cannot find any flaws in this timeless tale that equals in range and depth as The Lion King. The characters are fully rendered with emotional ranges that make them more believable than most real human beings. Albert Brooks and Ellen Degeneres lead an incredible cast of voice actors. Andrew Stanton directs the animation with an eye of fantastic realism. The color schemes are brilliant and brings the palate to life. Not to mention that this film has no villan, even the scuba diver (a dentist by profession) thinks he was doing the little fish a favor by bringing him back to the aquarium at his workplace. It's these little touches that make a lasting difference between a good film and a perfect film. Finding Nemo is a classic example of a PERFECT FILM.
