Description
From the Academy Award(R)-winning creators of TOY STORY and MONSTERS, INC. (2001, Best Animated Short Film, FOR THE BIRDS), it's FINDING NEMO, a hilarious adventure where you'll meet colorful characters that take you into the breathtaking underwater world of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to Marlin (Albert Brooks), his worrisome father, and Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish, to make the epic journey to bring Nemo home. Their adventure brings them face-to-face with vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and more. Marlin discovers a bravery he never knew, but will he be able to find his son? FINDING NEMO's breakthrough computer animation takes you into a whole new world with this undersea adventure about family, courage, and challenges. Take the plunge into FINDING NEMO, a "spectacularly beautiful animated adventure for everyone" -- David Sheehan, CBS-TV
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

Summary: This movie is just precious!
I have a thing for Pixar movies (you know, unless they star a bunch of uninspired vehicles) and this film was really the start of my adoration for them. Sure, everyone and their mother (and my three-year-old) loves `Toy Story', but it is `Finding Nemo' that really spoke to me as a moviegoer and as a human being, and it is a film that continually reaches the pit of me, now more so than ever since I became a father.
Beautifully inspired and sentimentally executed, `Finding Nemo' is one of the more heartfelt offerings from Pixar. It follows the adventure of a tragedy stricken clownfish, Marlin, as he searches the depths of the sea for his one and only son Nemo. Marlin has already suffered enough in his life (the films outset discloses to us a savage attack that leaves Marlin a widower among other things) and so as his young son grows older he finds himself more and more protective as he is forced to loosen the reigns. When Nemo is abducted by a scuba-diver, Marlin becomes frantic and begins a seemingly pointless search for his son. Along the way he meets a series of odd fellows, not the least of which is Dory, one of the funniest creations in the history of animated cinema.
And that pretty much sums up the bulk of this beautiful tale. What makes `Finding Nemo' so effortless and impressionable is the fact that it truly balances out every aspect of the film with a finesse and subtle honesty that is lost in a lot of animated features. Instead of going for a bounty of obvious laughs, `Finding Nemo' crafts something that feels more personal and pure.
It goes for the heart.
Pixar is known now for delivering moving experiences, upping the ante so-to-speak for animated filmmakers the world around, daring them to create something that defies the boundaries experienced within the genre. With nearly all of their films they have done that very thing.
As a father, I really connect with the sentiment presented in this film. You can feel the unwavering love that Marlin feels for Nemo. In knows no bounds. He is Marlin's world. Nemo is Marlin's only connection to a past he wishes was his present. He lost so much and so he invests every ounce of his time to making sure that he never loses what he still has. This has created within him a deep appreciation for his son, but it also has created an unbalanced view of his parental obligations, something that served as a hindrance and something that he needed to correct (or at least smooth out). I know how it feels to want to smother the innocence of your child with protection. You never want anything to harm them, whether it be physical or emotional. That said; protection when abused can become destructive, and that is something that Marlin needed to realize. For me, `Finding Nemo' beautifully broaches the complexities of parenthood without trying to be preachy or too literal. It simply allows the audience to soak in the purity as it comes.
Oh yeah, and the film looks beautiful too (in all it's undersea wonderment).

Summary: the best disney and pixar movie
When the movie came in 2003 everyone knew it was going to be good but it surpass everything. It broke records it was considered the best movie in 2003 and trust me it is. My only problem is that because I like the full screen version I thought well it was going to have both editions on the same disc but no. Other than that I fully endorse Finding Nemo.
