Hmm... FULL SKULL BABY!

Animation is superb, but the story did not work in some places even with the necessary suspension of disbelief.

Never Gets old FULL SKULL BABY!

This is a great movie, my daughter watches it nearly every night (until she falls asleep). If you're looking for more - I'd recommend some of the IMAX films about the ocean - including Coral Reef Adventure -- and another interesting DVD - Captain Jon Explores the Ocean - both available on Amazon.

A Couple Scary Scenes, But a Wonderful Story FULL SKULL BABY!

I must have watched this DVD ten times with my three-year-old daughter. It is very entertaining, with enough "character" development and humor to hold a parent's attention.

The plot is essentially what the name implies. A scuba-diving dentist from Sydney separates a father clown fish named, Marlin, from his son, Nemo. Marlin must cross the ocean to rescue his son. On the way he encounters all sorts of adventures, picks up a charming companion, Dory (who suffers from short-term memory loss), and experiences real character growth. Meanwhile, Nemo gets transplanted into an aquarium with a host of other "Fish-Prisoners", who spend their time commenting on dental techniques and hatching escape plans. The dialog is delightful and the computer animations are spectacular.

There are two scary moments that parents should be mindful of. The first occurs very near the beginning, before Nemo is born. A barracuda attacks Marlin and Coral (Nemo's mother). The mother does not survive, but the violence is not graphic. She is simply not scene after the attack, and her death is implied. However, this scene usually prompts my daughter to ask, "Where Nemo's mommy at?"

The other scary part evolves a shark chasing Marlin and Dory through the hulk of an old sunken submarine (that happens to be in the middle of a minefield). This part is not too bad either, and of course, our heroes escape, unharmed.
