I guess I'm too cynical a person to fully appreciate an animted movie like this. It's just that, it's filled with stuff that's for little kids(like the jokes and characters and stuff) and the rest of the things are for adults(the nice scenery and animation). nothing really for teens.

This is Pixar's latest in a long resume of great animated films. All Pixar's other movies have been great and this one is no exception.
Marlon is a clown fish who lives with his son Nemo. When Nemo gets captured by human fisherman and put in a fish tank in a dentist's office, Marlon must trek across the ocean to find him. Along the way he meets Dory, a fish with a serious memory loss problem.
While the story is not as original as Pixar's other forays, it hardly takes away from the film. The animal-traveling-across-a-vast-distance-to-find-someone/something idea has been done more times than I can count, but never with Pixar's unique touch. If you've seen Toy Story or Monsters Inc you know what I mean. Their digital computer artists really bring the sea to life and give every fish and coral amazing detail. You can see and hear so many things in wide shots it gives the whole environment an incredible sense of reality, complete with the typical Pixar sense of humor to everything. Things get a little dramatic but a joke is never far away to keep the atmosphere light. It is a kid's movie, after all.
This is a film that will appeal to kids and adults alike. It continues the path that Pixar started years ago with their animated shorts and will hopefully go on for many more movies. Disney is in danger of losing Pixar. They want more money out of their partnership and Disney is reluctant to give it to them. Personally, I think Disney would be stupid not to give up the cash. It's not like they need it and Pixar is a cash cow that a lot of people would be very sorry to see go.

Finding Nemo was such a great movie to watch with a whole family. I just love Pixars movies. Cause they know how to make a great computer animation. This movie had a goodstory line about a clown fish looking for his son who was kidnapped by a fisherman. And Nemo found himself in a tank with the other fish at the dentist office. Great movie, I give it 5 stars.

It's a realistic tale of a father's love and how he will go to the ends of the earth to save his son. Hilarity ensues of course and adventures happen.

Great story, nice animation and physics. Picar delivers again. Ellen Degeneres as Dory makes for the funniest Pixar character I've seen. It wil definately be a classic. 5 stars for sure.

  You could trawl the seven seas and not net a funnier, more beautiful, and more original work of art and comedy than Finding Nemo.

  Finding Nemo and its Pixar predecessors tap into the shared gene among the kids and adults that delights in imagination-engaging, eye-tickling and wit-filled storytelling. You connect to these sea creatures as you rarely do with humans in big-screen adventures. The result: a true sunken treasure.

  Summer hasn't even started, but you won't likely find a better catch this season than Finding Nemo, a dazzling, computer-animated fish tale with a funny, touching script and wonderful voice performances that make it an unqualified treat for all ages.

  The visuals pop, the fish emote and the ocean comes alive. That's in the first two minutes. After that, they do some really cool stuff.

  It's the filmmakers' refusal to sugarcoat their tale's darker subtexts that makes Finding Nemo such a resounding piece of storytelling.

  On a purely visual level, Finding Nemo is as gorgeous a film as Disney's ever put out, with astonishing qualities of light, movement, surface and color at the service of the best professional imaginations money can buy.

  May be a fish tale, but its story of the paradox of love -- knowing when to hold on means knowing when to let go -- is profoundly humane and human.

  Of all the great vocal characterizations...the showstopper is Brooks, who hasn't had a part this good since "Lost in America" (1985). His Marlin is tender, cranky, hysterical, yet somehow lucid.
