Finding Nemo Customer Reviews (34 - 36 of 70 Reviews)

It is the perfect show for the family; the effects were fantastic; although, us Aussies, really don't have an accent !!!

Definitely a great addition to your DVD library; and I would not be surprised to learn, that anyone who had a saltwater fish tank, now has a new member - Nemo :)

Classic Classic Classic
My 3 and 5 year olds loved it.

I didn't mind sitting through it in the theatre and again at home on the Big Screen.

No doubt Nemo will be back.

You kids will wear out the DVD from play.

A Classic

Quintessential Family Film
Seriously, though. Although many movies have been declared (most wrongfully) to be entertainment for the whole family, Finding Nemo delivers. It's funny, entertaining, warm and a heck of a lot more engaging than some of its fellow productions (Disney and otherwise). I saw this film in theaters with several friends (all of whom are over 18) and I can say that we all enjoyed it. Heck, we never agree on anything.

Finding Nemo is the story of a clownfish's (Albert Brooks) epic quest to find his son. He traverses a jaw-dropping undersea world that never ceases to amaze visually. Along the way he encounters many colorful characters: a fish with short-term memory loss (Ellen Degeneres) who helps him on his quest, a trio of fish-addicted sharks (the twelve-step program was hilarious), a school of fish voiced by Cheers alum John Ratzenberger (who, ironically, is staying true to his old character as a source of information), whales, seagulls, albatross, and many more. His son, meanwhile, is the latest acquisition of an Australian dentist who bonds with the community of fishes in the aquarium (including Willem Dafoe, Brad Garrett, Eric Bana, Allison Janney).

In terms of creating an impressive and convincing landscape, Pixar steps up to the plate once again and hits a home run. Also, there is a rich variety of characters in the film, most of whom are voiced by celebrity talents (most of whom are listed above). The story is standard, but the Pixar team makes it seem fresh and vital. In short, this is one of the 'kiddie' films that I have seen that I would very much like to own on DVD. The extras ought to be impressive too. Highly recommended.
