A GREAT film that's essentially more that just about fish. Amazing visuals, voice talent, and script. A+ P.S. Ellen DeGeneres deserved an Oscar nomination for her potrayal of Dory.

Shows exactly what's the best work of Disney, and generally, animated movies. 1st, this movie is from animated movies golden age, wich, luckily, I enjoyed as a young kid, but I think that I'll LOVE it in place of enjoy it if I see it now. It has all. Comedy, drama, a sweet lesson, tragedy. In fact, children eyes are the only ones who don't see this movie sad and emotive. But it doesn't leave you crying in the ground saying: "That's horribly sad!". It makes you, like chilean actor Francisco Melo said, cry sweetly. It's beautiful, and leaves a beautifull lesson, but never leaves the humor. And not, I'm not talking about the extremely designed for young ones humor, like "Chicken Little" or it's cheap imitation "Shark Tale". It has that strangely mature humor that Disney had, that makes laugh both adults and children. The animation is of amazing quality. The better example is that the sharks had the tooth-behind-tooth. And the character work is amazing and beautifull. Yep, really a great movie, just sometimes sad.… Expand

Now this is the kind of breathtaking adventure that keeps me entertained all the way.

It tells the story of a Clown fishNow this is the kind of breathtaking adventure that keeps me entertained all the way. Distributed by Disney and Pixar, Director Andrew Stanton has produced an incredible movie about the underwater sea life. It tells the story of a Clown fish called Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), who is very protective over his son Nemo (voiced by Alexander Gould) after the loss of his family. Nemo grows increasingly tired of his Dad worrying all the time that on his first day of school, he disobeys his father and swims up to touch a speed boat. He then gets captured by a scuba diver. Marlin swims after him, but is too late and he quickly sets off on his speed boat. Marlin, swimming as fast as he can, soon bumps into a royal blue tang fish called Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), who suffers from short term memory loss. The two then decide to work together and try and rescue Nemo (which from this point on is like going through this difficult quest - being chased by a shark, tackling jellyfish and swallowed by a whale) before it is too late. What I liked most about this movie was the jaw binding special effects. The CGI of the underwater oceans surroundings are breathtaking, and the designs of the fishes are nicely done, although a bit fake in the eyes I would say (don't recall there being fish eyes the size of a grapefruit). Of course the film wouldn't be as good without any good comedy performances from voice acting, and Finding Nemo managed to conquer that. All the actors/actresses played a good voice part, but I have to give full credit to Ellen DeGeneres. Her performance as Dory is absolutely brilliant, honestly she really plays the character so well and will provide audiences from 5 to 50 with great laughter, especially the one where she is trying to speak whale. I actually don't think they could have found another person to better Dory. What I like most about Pixar films is that they try to capture the audience to imagine what the character (whether it's a toy, an insect or a fish) inside is feeling, and what your reactions would be if you were the character. As well as joy and laughter, there's a real heart to this film. Finding Nemo is a truly epic masterpiece, filled with action/adventure and characters and emotions.… Expand

A beautiful movie done by the ever talented people at Pixar Animation Studios. At the time of its release, one can argue this was the most emotional Pixar movie. Had I been older when seeing it for the first time, I believe I might've cried.

So, the movie is about a clown fish named Marlin loosing his love Coral when a starveling barracuda attacks with strength. The killer fish assassins Coral and their children, except one: Nemo. Years later, Marlin's under confidence embarrasses his son during a school field trip, Nemo sneaks away from the reef and is captured by scuba divers who take him to Sydney Harbour, where he's placed in a fish tank along with other type of fishes. Meanwhile, Marlin tries to find his son at all cost and he coincidentally meets Dory, a good-hearted and optimistic regal blue tang with short-term memory loss. Together, they will swim across the ocean in order to find Nemo and that exciting trip will make them encounter new friends.

The story is wonderfully written. I can feel my emotions under my skin while watching the movie. The characters are lovable and funny, the animation is top-notch, the voices are phenomenal (Congratulations to Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres for their outstanding work) and the character development was never forgotten by the people who were involved in this film animation. My favorite film animation is still "Up", but boy... this movie was so damn close.

The color palette for the animation is absolute eye candy, the best I've seen and it's easy to get immersed into the movie's magical world. Plus, Thomas Newman's music score always knows how to pull on my heartstrings.

Albert Brooks, from 'Taxi Driver' (1976), does some amazing vocal work as a concerned father looking for his missing son, Nemo (voiced by Alexander Gould). Ellen DeGeneres is incredibly funny as Dory, a fish who suffers from short term memory loss. She steals every scene she is in.

The Pixar supporting team steps up in snappy fashion in “Finding Nemo,” a buoyant adventure that entertainingly continues the Disney/Pixar winning streak. Notable first and foremost for its spectacularly colorful underwater setting, whichThe Pixar supporting team steps up in snappy fashion in “Finding Nemo,” a buoyant adventure that entertainingly continues the Disney/Pixar winning streak. Notable first and foremost for its spectacularly colorful underwater setting, which gives the picture one of the most striking visual backdrops ever seen in an animated film, this adventure tale of a neurotic clown fish’s search for his errant son zips along swimmingly with cheeky comic flair.

With John Lasseter overseeing the production as exec producer, “Nemo” marks the full directorial debut of Andrew Stanton, co-director of Lasseter’s “A Bug’s Life” and a writer on all four previous Pixar features. Lee Unkrich is on board as a co-director for the third time, after “Toy Story 2” and “Monsters,” while “Toy 2” production manager Graham Walters makes his producing debut. All this promotion through the ranks provides a reassuring sense of continuity with previous Pixar outings, with the greatest difference in feel this time stemming from the invigorating combination of Yank and Aussie vocal talents in roughly equal numbers.

With his 400-odd brothers and sisters gobbled up along with his mother, Nemo (cheerfully voiced by Alexander Gould) is the only son of Marlin (Albert Brooks), an overprotective dad who would keep his boy on leash if he could. All a-tremble taking Nemo to his first day of school, Marlin goes into full panic when Nemo, accused of being a bad swimmer by his dad, leaves the neighborhood reef to check out a boat floating on the far-off surface. For once, Marlin’s anxiety is justified, as a diver (seen scarily from a tiny fish’s p.o.v.) nets Nemo and takes him aboard.

In frantic pursuit, Marlin is joined by Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), an absentminded but relentlessly upbeat blue tang who provides the swimming bundle of nerves with a much-needed one-fish support system. Early in their journey, they meet a toothsome Great White named Bruce (a most amusing Barry Humphries), a self-professed “good shark” who’s desperately trying to reform himself. “It’s been three weeks since my last fish,” he announces, as pals Anchor (Eric Bana), a hammerhead, and Chum (Bruce Spence), a mako, rather reluctantly try to follow suit. Their basic instincts get the better of them at the first whiff of blood, however, setting in motion a spectacular chase around a sunken submarine and an old minefield.

Film’s early stages are exceptional for their beauty. Computer animators have long discussed the knotty challenge posed by representing water in their medium, and the Pixar team spent years researching and developing solutions to the problems. The work has paid off in glorious images that represent the ocean in varying degrees of darkness and light, stillness and turbulence, clarity and obscurity, and in ways that highlight the myriad colors possessed by underwater life.

Up top, Nemo has found a new home in a Sydney dentist’s office aquarium. His fellow “outies” from the sea are a welcoming bunch dominated by moorish idol Gill (Willem Dafoe), whose heavy scars testify to numerous run-ins with humankind. As affable as all these captives may be, escape is a constant preoccupation, especially since the dentist’s frightful niece is due to collect Nemo within a few days. A known fish-killer, little Darla is evil enough to be introduced by the “Psycho” shriek of strings.

So it becomes a race against time, as Marlin and Dory make their way toward Sydney Harbor in the desperate hope of finding a way to rescue the errant clown fish, and Nemo’s new friends try to arrange for his escape before he gets taken away in a clear plastic sack.

Aiding the cause underwater is sea turtle, Crush (helmer Stanton), a 150-year-old surfer dude with the spirit of a teenager who cruises the East Australian Current for a thrill ride. A particularly striking sequence has Marlin and Dory swept into the mouth of a blue whale (pointedly not anthropomorphized) and stranded for a perilous period of time on its tongue. Animators have invested this episode with a welcome realism — such a predicament is unlikely to ever be captured on live-action film.

Lending a hand, or at least a large mouth, up top is an accident-prone pelican, Nigel (Geoffrey Rush), who schemes with the aquarium dwellers and is no friend to the harbor seagulls, which are portrayed in a very bad light indeed. Perhaps the film’s best sight gag has a bunch of airborne gulls chase Nigel, who, in approaching the mast of a sailboat, suddenly tilts at an angle to squeeze through a narrow opening, stranding the hapless gulls right behind him with their beaks poking through the large sail.

Breathless climax involves a detailed knowledge of the Sydney sewage system, as well as a nifty and visually imposing suspense sequence in which the protag becomes tangled up with hundreds of doomed fish in a huge trawling net.

Plus Thomas Newman’s large score is perked up by some unusual orchestration ideas.… Expand

This is definitely my favorite animated movie of all time to date. I love this film and have been watching it since I was a little kid, I must have watched this at least 10 times and I am so eager to watch Finding Dory!

In terms of animation, this is Pixar's greatest film. Ellen DeGenereres is hilarious as 'Dory' and to be honest, if you haven't seen it you must have been living under a rock for the past few years. Easily gets a 10/10 from me!

The movie's just about swimming to find Nemo. That's just it? No... that's not it. You'll find some eye-popping moments and a blast in the eyes during the movie.

After all, Mermaid was the feature-'toon thatWasn't it Disney which once claimed that life can be "better down where it's wetter" during The Little Mermaid's ocean-floor showtune `Under The Sea'? Well, that's certainly proved to be true. After all, Mermaid was the feature-'toon that shoved the Mouse House back on track, while Pixar's latest, a subaquatic epic which casts fish as its heroes, smashed box-office records Stateside to surpass The Lion King as America's biggest-ever animated feature.

Conceived, co-written and directed by A Bug's Life helmer Andrew Stanton, Nemo doesn't take long to reveal why: it's a sparkling treasure trove of snappy comedy, smart characterisation, lush visuals and breakneck action.

This fish's tale follows Marlin (Albert Brooks), a neurotic clownfish who's afraid to let his vulnerable son, Nemo (Alexander Gould), out of his sight lest he be gobbled up by one of the Great Barrier Reef's multitudinous predators. Understandable really, especially considering a harrowing face-slap of an opening that reveals how Marlin's wife and brood were massacred by a barracuda. During a school trip, however, Nemo is netted by a diver and whisked away from his ocean home. The distraught Marlin immediately goes in pursuit, reluctantly enlisting the help of Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a fish who suffers from short-term memory loss...

It's become somewhat fashionable to praise family entertainment for being `dark'. After all, if it's `dark', then it must be okay for adults to like it. And Finding Nemo has its fair share of `dark' moments (one minute, Bruce, a vegetarian Great White, sobs that he never knew his father; the next, he's going wild at the scent of blood and launching himself at Marlin and Dory), but to describe it as such is missing the point. The reason why Finding Nemo is such a success is because it's layered.

While Marlin and Dory take the episodic adventure route, Nemo is dropped into an aquarium in a dentist's office, where he encounters a collection of barely sane inmates, led by a fish named Gill (Willem Dafoe) who's obsessed with returning to the Big Blue. So Marlin's journey of self-discovery, in which he encounters monsters, turtles, jellyfish and the like, runs parallel to Nemo's coming of age under Gill's (mis)guidance as he takes part in a One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest-flavoured asylum-break.

The moral message is satisfying and schmaltz-free and, as you'd expect from Pixar, the comedy is sharper than a swordfish's nose. Then there's the astounding visualisation of the undersea world, so breathtakingly detailed it could empty a scuba diver's airtank in a matter of seconds. But the loudest praise should go to DeGeneres, who makes the forgetful Dory a laugh-a-minute comedy sidekick, her quips timed to perfection. As Bruce the vegetarian shark's mantra goes, "Fish are our friends." And Finding Nemo certainly makes sure we realise that.

A spectacular comedy-adventure that's never less than totally immersive. The first TRUE Pixar masterpiece. Go fish!… Expand

This film was one of those that marked a generation and consolidated the upward trajectory of Pixar, a studio that, for nearly ten years, had been threatening Disney's monopoly as the top studio in animated film. It wasn't the studio's firstThis film was one of those that marked a generation and consolidated the upward trajectory of Pixar, a studio that, for nearly ten years, had been threatening Disney's monopoly as the top studio in animated film. It wasn't the studio's first feature film to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Film (that honor belongs to "Monsters Inc.", released two years earlier), but it was, in fact, the first to win the coveted award.

The script is relatively simple: after several incidents, a clownfish that lives in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia leaves in search of his son, Nemo, who goes through several adventures and ends up being caught and placed in a home aquarium in Sydney. To succeed in his quest, the tireless father will rely on the unlikely help of another fish, Dory, a sea creature who really seems to have a loose screw in his head. The script was wonderfully developed and works very well, with a moving story full of emotional moments and adventure, being one of those movies that will please the whole family with ease. The characters were conceived with imagination, creativity and are really nice, they stay in the memory and capture our sympathy.

The film is technically elegant and visually magnificent. To me, it was the most visually beautiful film that Pixar made in its initial period, and it still remains one of the most beautiful made by the studio to date. Colorful, with a vibrant range of colors and excellent contrast and saturation, the film is a sight to behold. The tight stroke, the relative realism of the animation (for the time it was impressive, but today there are clearly better and more advanced features), the way it was edited, all helped to make this film magnificent. The range of voice actors is good, and Ellen DeGeneres deserves all the applause for the inspired and committed way in which she lent her voice to Dory. Also noteworthy are the successful efforts of Albert Brooks, Willem Dafoe, Barry Humphries, Eric Bana and Andrew Stanton. The movie also has a good soundtrack and excellent sound effects.… Expand
