...fan of Weeds). The tempo is high and the style is similar to that of Harry Potter in terms of the music, camera effects and even some of the creatures, Although aimed at children there is plenty that will appeal to adults.

...turtle by the name of Crush and into a family of fish in the dentist's fish tank which features an over excited Puffer Fish and a nervous Baby Squid. Like Disney/Pixar's other movies, Nemo is all about telling a simple family story which doesn't baby itself on the audience be it adults or kids and it has enough cutesy characters to keep the adults interested.

Advantages: Different Characters to Madagascar
Disadvantages: Most of it

The Wild is just a copy of Madagascar. They call it "The Wild" and in Madagscar the place they go to is aka "The Wild" so it looks like that they just got there on the same mode of transport but they swapped the main characters around.
