Finding Nemo - Letting Go Slowly May 31, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Finding Nemo was a great movie! It starts out a little scary perhaps for the really little ones, but once it gets going, the personalities of each character each take over. The story of how fearful Nemo's father is of letting anything happen to him, prevents ANYthing happening to Nemo, so he rebels, and get's separated from his father. The lesson of letting go is loud and clear.
The Coolest Movie I have Ever Seen. May 31, 2003

YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE.There. Now that I've said that, I should tell you that this is NOT solely a childrens' movie, but will be enjoyed as much (if not more) by adults. The cleverness of Pixar will never cease to amaze me. Only they could take a concept like a full-length movie about fish and make it totally believable. This film succeeds n being very, very funny. Heck, I'm 16 and saw it in the theater with only my mother. The two of us were laughing hysterically throughout the entire thing! There's alot of sadness and emotion in this movie and some absolutely terrific voice acting--the voice cast is top-notch. There are some touching moments and subtle messages to be heard by all, not just kids. I look forward with anticipation to the DVD release of this wonderful movie. The suspense never lets up; encounters with jellyfish, a whale, and a deep-sea lanturn fish make every moment exciting. As we know, every Disney/Pixar film is associated with its own special "short." Well, this one is the best yet, and the short film sets you up for the great feelings you'll have while seeing "Finding Nemo." I won't give away the storyline, but it involves a cute snowman, a water globe, and some tropical souvenirs that completely ready one for the overwhelming tropical-ness of the feature film. One thing I can't get over is how true-to-life these characters are. The attention to finding a unique species for each fish is incredible and adds a whole new, educational, dimension to the movie. There are some memorable characters in "Finding Nemo." First and foremost is Marlin, the lovable clownfish who is an overprotective father to his adventurous son, Nemo. Then there's Dory, the regal blue tang with the memory problem. She provides much of the comic relief but is also an immensely "real" character. Bruce is a mako shark who wants to get rid of the typical image of sharks as mindless eating machines. Crush is a 150-year-old sea turtle with a cool-surfer-dude attitude. Nigel is a helpful pelican. The whole thing takes place in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. And then there are the aquarium fish, who invite Nemo into their 'club' when he gets scooped from the sea. He goes through the initiation ceremony at Mt. Wannahockaloogee, complete with tiki statues and all. The animation is awesome. Their group includes Peach, the lookout starfish; Deb, a delusional fish who thinks her reflection is her sister; a French shrimp, a puffer fish, a yellow tang, and a royal gramma. They are led by Gill, a moorish idol who longs to return to the ocean. This film is excellent; it deserves a sequel... Overall this is one film that nobody should miss--parents, kids, or otherwise. I hope this review has convinced you to go get yourself a ticket to "Finding Nemo."
 Disappointing May 31, 2003

I took 4 kids who are five- to six-year olds to this movie today (opening day.) You've probably already read about the baracuda eating Nemo's mom and all his siblings in the first 15 minutes of the movie. I can't say that was as disturbing to the kids as it was to me - they were all confused as to what was going on and didn't get it. However, there is one shock after another in this film. From the sharks to the dentist performing root canal work, to the sadistic little girl that Nemo is to be given to, none of the kids in my group liked the film. I think Disney tried to hard to make an action-packed film and forgot that there can be action without the fear factor (think Toy Story 2) The two stars I gave it are for the graphics -- superior as usual, and Ellen DeGeneres' portrayl of Dorrie, the forgetful fish who helps Nemo's dad find him.
Nemo is my Hero May 30, 2003

Outstanding! Our viewing party was 4 people, ages 19-35, two women, two men and we all thought it was from pretty good to fantastic. We each found different aspects to enjoy. Too often fish are portrayed as just a generic fish. As an aquarist, I appreciated the effort Pixar put into preserving the actual behaviors, interactions, swimming motions and habitats of each individual type of fish. In this film, the characters are quite anthropomorphic, but without detracting from their basic nature. The themes of accepting and trusting others against your gut feeling and many different types of "people" cooperating to attain a common goal are lessons everyone can take home. The distruction humans wreck on the ocean are so lightly touched on, most may not even pick up on it. I would have liked to see it expressed more strongly considering we need to open the eyes of younger generations, but then again, this isn't a documentary. We were all blown away by the animation. They have raised the bar again. Take a good look at the movie poster. The detail in the glow of the shark's teeth, the pores of the skin around the corners of his mouth, the reflection of light through the water shown on his head and in the background and the cute freckles across the bridge of Dory's (the blue tang) nose are amazing. Then wait until you see the movie! Between the basic plot, the underlying themes, the animation, and being able to empathize with the character's situations, this is one great movie package.
