Finding Nemo Customer Reviews (19 - 21 of 70 Reviews)

As I scanned through scenes and tried to find the perfect quote for this review, I thought, "Wow! There are so many great lines and most are enhanced by hilarious facial expressions - I just can't choose!"
It is true - countless scenes contain awesome adult and kid humor. Each time I watch "Finding Nemo," I find new comedy and laugh a little harder. This movie is great for all ages - from 3 to 93.
At a recent family party, both children and adults enjoyed this wonderfully crafted Disney-Pixar film. Many adults laughed as they quoted Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), "Hey, Mr. Grumpy Gills," or "I can speak whale! Whaaaatt'sss goiiiinng onnnn herrrrre?" Although the kids did tend to wander in and out of the room (as kids do), they demanded that it be played. Whenever they have a chance to watch a movie, they choose "Finding Nemo."
The voices fit the roles perfectly. Ellen DeGeneres does a wonderful job with Dory - her voice completes the off-the-wall character. Albert Brooks perfectly personifies Marlin as an overly concerned parent. The Australian accents are fun to listen to and attempt to mimic. Crush also certainly adds to the ocean atmosphere with an obvious surfboarder's tone.
My favorite characters are the seagulls. I roll with laughter because of their general character - they are shown in large, annoying groups and often squawk, "Mine!" whenever food is nearby. You have to see the movie to fully appreciate the comedy and high-quality animation of this film.
However, I did enjoy "Monsters Inc." and both "Toy Story" movies better, but this film is a must addition for any Disney film collector.

great 2-disc edition of a new classic animated film
Pixar makes great films, and FINDING NEMO is no exception. Nemo is a young clownfish living with his dad (voiced by Albert Brooks) who is taken by a scuba-diving dentist to live in his office tank. When Nemo's dad takes off after the boat to get his son back, he meets Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres), who tries to help him despite her horrible short-term memory. Along the way Marlin and Dory encounter sharks, turtles, jellyfish and seagulls, while Nemo befriends his fellow aquarium dwellers, who are busy planning an escape.

While I think the first segment of the film, in which Nemo's mother and all his siblings are devoured by a predator, should have been omitted, the movie is otherwise a lot of fun and very entertaining. You might want to skip this first segment if you are watching with young kids.

The disc set is loaded with great feautures, including the film in widescreen or fullscreen format, a virtual aquarium, commentary track, deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, a documentary on exploring the reefs with Jacques Cousteau's son, trailers, a short film, a game and many featurettes.

Great movie, great deal!

Talk about an awesome movie!!
Pirates of the Carribean, eat your heart out. 'Finding Nemo' is the best sea, animated and family film yet. Once again, PIXAR Animation studios delivered amazing and incredibly realistic animation. Finding Nemo is a great movie because it has a very interesting plot which will make you involved from start to finish. It's cast is great, Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGernes, Willem Dafoe, etc. Also, the humor and dramatic and intense sequences blend in to make this film. It's humorous, such as the screenplay and funny facial expressions. Intense, such as the Angler fish scene, when its all dark and the Angler fish pops out of no where, and when you see it's face, you'll know what I'm talking about! And dramatic such as the loving relationship between Marlin and Nemo, and the friendship between Dory and Marlin. But what makes this movie so amazing is that all of the material is REAL!(Except the talking fish with eyelids and all) Clown fish, Jelly Fish, Anemones-- all of it is real, and delivers an educational impact on us on how beatiful and overwhelming the ocean is.
So basically, if you've been living under a rock for the past 9 months and haven't seen this movie, BUY THIS MOVIE!!And even if you already saw it and don't have it, stop reading this review and order it now!
