I should be tired of this movie FULL SKULL BABY!

I should be tired of this movie since every day my 2 year old granddaughter comes over -every other day - the first thing sge does is get the Nemo box from my cabinet and bring it to me saying "Mamu Mamu Mamu" ( Nemo, Nemo, Nemo)

I can probably recite most of the dialog. However I never cease to enjoy the movie. It is a masterwork and improves with subsequent viewing - and I ought to know!

The graphics are astounding. The rich detail, the funny dialog and the life that Albert Brooks, Ellen Degeneris, and the rest including Willem Dafoe are the life of this movie.

The bonus material is fantastic and included on a second disk which also contains the halfscreen ( so called "full" screen) version with the ends chopped off.

I have this little rubber shark-topped floating thermometer in my pool. Caitlin calls him Bruce.

Oh yeah, the soundtrack in THX is awesome.

This is a magnificent acheivement. Bravo.

It may be supposed a kids movie but I love it.

Another fantastic family hit from Pixar FULL SKULL BABY!
Pixar has outdone themselves once again. "Finding Nemo" is the dramatic, sometimes sad & scary, sometimes drop-dead hilarious, tale (or should I say "tail"?) of a Father trying to find his lost son. In this case, the father (voice over by Albert Brooks), Marlin, is a clownfish living in a sea anemone. His son, Nemo, evokes images of Dicken's "Tiny Tim" character with his defective fin.

In light of todays news headlines where children are forcibly kidnapped from their own homes, the opening of the film may be too intense and overwhelming for some sensitive youngsters.

As with its other movies ("Toy Story," "Monsters, Inc.," etc.), the story is so well written, it can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

As someone who has a salt water aquarium at home with a pair of clownfish and a regal tang (the species of Dory, played by Ellen DeGeneres), I know first hand how these fish move through water and interact with other fish in the tank.

It's obvious that the artists involved in animating these characters studied their biology and behavior for hours on end. A few times, the fish are literally out of the water, and as the water on their skin begins to drip off, you can see the subtle highlights in their scales. Magnificent work.

Obviously, the fish are given human-like eyes... a truly necessary component to get you emotionally involved with these characters.

Even Bruce, the Great White shark, is an endearing fellow with an Australian accent. Despite the human-like characteristics, the adherence to physiological details on the rest of these species is incredible.

The lighting has such an effect that you feel like you are under water with the fish. The gentle swaying of the coral and anemones is surreal... just like the real Great Barrier Reef.

In reality, some of these fish would never encounter each other in the wild... and we all know that Starfish do not have eyes or smiley faces... but you do not care about those minor details while watching this film.

Dory is the beautiful blue & yellow regal tang fish who teams up with Marlin to find his son. Her tendency to forget almost everything she hears is a part of the charm of this character. Ellen DeGeneres' voice was perfect for this fish. The facial expressions on the characters, modeled after the actors that did their voices, are also priceless.

This movie is far more than eye-candy. The story and comedic timing are so good, it could be done with stick-figures and still be good.

This movie is an absolute delight. When it is released on DVD, it will immediately be added to my collection - this is a film I could see time and time again. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Excellent FULL SKULL BABY!
Why 'Finding Nemo' got some bad press at the time of its cinematic release will forever more puzzle me. It's a wonderful, glorious romp through the Garden of Disney, and has more going for it than most of Disney's recent releases.

Nemo is a young clown fish, who, after his mother and siblings were killed by a predatory fish, is left to the care of his overprotective father Marlin. When Nemo is captured by human divers, Marlin must brave the entire ocean and his own boundaries to rescue his only son, helped along the way by the forgetful Dory and a whole host of memorable characters.

Disney's computer animation just keeps on getting better and better; parts of this movie look so real that it's impossible not to sit up and take notice. I will always be a bigger fan of hand-drawn cartoons, but kudos to the designers and animators, they have given us a world of believable depth and mind-blowing detail.

The voiceovers are of the ususal excellent standard, with Ellen DeGeneres (Dory) and John Ratzenberger in a cameo (Fish School) being among some of the best, most endearing voiceover parts I have ever heard. Albert Brooks does a decent job with the character of Marlin, ditto Alexander Gould as Nemo, and the impression left on the viewer by their talent is one of character depth and attachment.

The storyline may be standard Disney fare, but it's excellent, intelligent little touches like the Seagulls in Sydney (Mate! Mate! Mate!) and the Fish-Not-Food Sharks that make 'Finding Nemo' stand head and shoulders above such other standard Disney fare as 'Brother Bear' and 'Mulan'. Coupled with such magnificent visuals and excellent, credible voice acting, 'Nemo' is a highly polished package both for adults and kids alike.

'Finding Nemo', really, is something you shouldn't be without. It's fantastic!
