| DVD Description A delightful undersea world unfolds in Pixar's animated adventure Finding Nemo. When his son Nemo is captured by a scuba-diver, a nervous-nellie clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) sets off into the vast--and astonishingly detailed--ocean to find him. Along the way he hooks up with a scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who's both helpful and a hindrance, sometimes at the same time. Faced with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans, and much more, Marlin rises above his neuroses in this wonderfully funny and nonstop thrill ride--rarely does more than 10 minutes pass without a sequence destined to become a theme park attraction. Pixar continues its run of impeccable artistic and economic success (their movies include Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, and Monsters, Inc). Also featuring the voices of Willem Dafoe, Geoffrey Rush, and Allison Janney. --Bret Fetzer |

Movie with great lesson on obedience I really enjoyed watching this movie. CGs have come a long way. For me, the storyline was great; disobedience to parents has its price. The lesson was learned. It also shows parents giving their children freedom to grow and spread their fins. Dory, the blue fish, offers hilarious comic relief to the story. Definite "2 fins up"!
Pixar: please hire a jokesmith next time. Animation score: 5 stars.
Screenwriting score: 1 star.
Average: 3 stars.
"Nemo's" animation is of unprecedented beauty. But this is purportedly a comedy. And apart from Ellen DeGeneres's spirited Dory, this thing is often painfully unfunny.
On the other hand, if witticisms on the level of "Don't worry kid, it's a piece of KELP!" tickle your ribs and/or funny bone, by all means go for it.
Look behind the Pixar curtain. What do you see? Computer nerds mostly, many of whom seem to think that there's nothing quite so funny as putting banal exclamations in the mouths of their wild 'n' wooly characters. You know...
The fist-pump-plus-"YeSSSSS!!!",
The exasperated "Hell-LOWWWWW!!!",
The "Nuh-uh! Not gonna go there!!!"
(Are you rolling in the aisle yet?)
...computer nerds who seem to think that guys who can animate really well must also necessarily have a dynamite sense of humor: the animation directors are invariably given writing credit.
This viewer calls for a halt to this policy.
stupid 1 joke flick!!!!!!! I hated this movie. My teacher loved this retarded flim . i hate u ,nemo. !#@$ you pixar. |
