FINDING NEMO, directed by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich, follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective clown fish father, as he desperately searches the sea for his...
more...missing son, Nemo (Alexander Gould). Marlin's journey leads him beyond the Great Barrier Reef into deeper and darker waters, where he meets Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and a number of not-so-friendly--and often very hungry--aquatic creatures. Meanwhile, little Nemo finds himself in a dentist's fish tank in Sydney, Australia, along with other underwater captives, including Gill (Willem Dafoe), the group's scarred Moorish idol leader. As Nemo works with his new friends on a plan to escape their tank, Marlin and Dory swim closer, but they'll need more than just fins to get into the dentist's office.
This fifth computer-animated outing by Pixar continues the company's remarkable winning streak that began with TOY STORY. Like other Pixar films, FINDING NEMO features a story with heart--this time, a father-and-son tale--and thoroughly charming leads--in this case, Marlin, Nemo, and Dory. And, of course, there's an army of fascinating supporting characters, including Bruce (Barry Humphries), a great white shark on a no-fish diet; Crush (director/screenwriter Stanton), a surfer-dude sea turtle; Peach (Allison Janney), a stuck-to-the-aquarium starfish; and Nigel (Geoffrey Rush), a bold pelican. However, what truly distinguishes NEMO from even its CGI cousins is its stunning depiction of aquatic life, from the colourful creatures on a coral reef to a blue whale on the vast expanse of the open ocean. By combining the aesthetic of a National Geographic marine life documentary with clever jokes and Hitchcock references, NEMO succeeds in its bid to up the ante for animated films yet again. And be sure to watch the credits or you just might miss something!

My husband and I try to take our kids to see all the kid movies and I have to say that this one was definitely one of the funniest that I have seen in a long time. It actually had us laughing aloud throughout most of the movie and our kids absolutely loved it. Ellen DeGeneres was the voice of Dory the female fish who could not remember anything from one minute to the next and she made the movie, she was fantastic. The story line as with all Pixar movies was that of the best, they truly have some extremely creative and imaginative writers writing there story lines. Starting out with a tragic story of losing a family and only one surviving egg who the surviving father names Nemo after the mother fish wanted. Then the over protectiveness of the father causes the fish to stray off and get picked up by snorkelers and taken to a fish aquarium. It really gives you a different perspective on our aquariums at home. Anyways the father travels across the ocean in search of his son, Nemo when he runs into another fish, Dory. The ocean is replicated perfectly and of course all the characters have that magical Disney touch. If you liked Toy Story and Monsters inc, then this is a must have.
