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!

Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by sirmitchalot

Advantages: It's funny, brilliantly crafted, and a whole list of other things
Disadvantages: Only one it's really for kids

...can be answered by watching Finding Nemo. The Characters Normally at this point I would describe the character performances, but everything besides the voices are provided courtesy of CGI, and very well crafted they are. To create the characters they have taken a variety of aquatic life forms and gave them somewhat human facial expressions e.g. Marlin who’s always worrying has actually got frown lines. It’s also good how they gave ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful animation; witty dialogue; great characters
Disadvantages: None!

...of 3D cartoon animation and Finding Nemo is quite possibly the most beautifully animated Pixar film yet! Compared to the other Pixar films, Finding Nemo has adopted a fantastic blend of cartoon (for the fish and other characters) and realism (for the sea and its plant life) which is stunning to look at. The film as a whole is an incredible expanse of beauty and colour and every piece of coral and each speck of sunlight on the ocean surface is drawn ... Read review

No fish were injured in the making of this film...
Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by Fruity_Tart

Advantages: Funny, general cuteness of all fish in the film, kids will love it, adults will love it, the dog will love it - oh, it's just the best!
Disadvantages: Nothing at all

...to a preview screening of Finding Nemo on Wednesday night and I've seen a few clips of the film on tele and it looks great, so armed with my seven year old I decided to go and see if it was possible for it to be even better than my favourite animation - the hilarious 'A Bugs Life'. Finding Nemo was created by those clever bods at Disney/Pixar who's previous offerings include 'Toy Story 1 & 2', Monsters Inc and A Bugs Life. To make their films ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: None

...collection in the form of Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton is responsible for writing and directing Finding Nemo along with Bob Peterson and Dave Reynolds, and their work can only be described as beautiful. Every part of the 1 hour 41 minute adventure is brimming with sublime animated effects, and enriched by many colourful and loveable characters. Finding Nemo cost a reported $94 Million to make, but has already taken $340 Million at American Cinemas ... Read review

FISHY BUSINESS
Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by Pumpkin

Advantages: Lovely characters, good story, a fun film
Disadvantages: Not quite so much adult appeal as previous Disney/Pixar offerings

“Finding Nemo” is the latest animated blockbuster from Disney and Pixar, the team who brought us “Toy Story”, “A Bug’s Life” and “Monsters Inc”. I’ve been a big fan of this type of film ever since I saw the first “Toy Story” movie, so I was keen to see “Finding Nemo” and I recently borrowed it from a colleague. This undersea adventure tells the story of Marlin, a clownfish, and his quest to find his only son, Nemo, who has gone missing. Nemo is ... Read review

With fronds like these, who needs anemones?
Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by JessL

Advantages: Enjoyable, well-written, great animation
Disadvantages: None

...to watch Pixar's latest film, Finding Nemo. My friend wanted to see Cabin Fever, but I stood my ground, and it paid off - I loved every minute of it! The film is centred around, obviously, Nemo. Before Nemo (Alexander Gould), a young clownfish, was born, his mother and siblings were eaten by a shark, and as a result, his father Marlin (Albert Brooks) is extremely protective of his only surviving son. On the first day of school, the pair argue over ... Read review

Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by claribella

Advantages: One for all of the family
Disadvantages: The beginning is a bit sad

...again (when I let him!). Finding Nemo is in this collection and I think I must have seen it around a million times by now so I feel that I am qualified in writing this review. The film is about a little clown fish called Nemo who, one day gets snatched from the ocean by a dentist. He is placed in a fish tank with other breeds of fish where he makes friends and they hatch a plan to escape together. On the other side of the ocean his dad goes on ... Read review

Just keep swimming
Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by M.Newcastle

Advantages: It's Disney, often a quality guarantee
Disadvantages: disc 2 is a bit superfluous, only workth the collector's edition if you're a big extra fan

...clever, and finanically sound. I missed Finding Nemo at the cinema, and when I first saw the DVD I have to admit I wasn't overly impressed. However, I was given the DVD for my 19th (a good, grown-up gift), and was immediately struck by the pretty, shiny box (easily pleased?) cover of the 2-disc collector's edition. I watched the film again and was hooked. I'm sure most readers will know the story by now, so only a very short precis... Marlon and ... Read review

Advantages: Suitable for all ages,, proper funny film.
Disadvantages: None

...film of all time. Finding Nemo has to be another masterful piece of family entertainment from Pixar, who created films such as A Bugs Life, Toy Story, Incredibles, etc. Plot Marlin, the clown fish from the great barrier reef has lost his son in the ocean. One day he is captured by divers and taken to Sydney, where Nemo is kept in a fish tank in the dentists room. Nemo's father Marlin searches the entire ocean for him and the story is all ...

Toy Story - underwater
Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by dobieg

Advantages: Pure entertainment, safe
Disadvantages: Bland, Predictable

I'm a grumpy old man. I wasn't expecting much - anything which gets as much hype as 'Finding Nemo' is bound to be rubbish - right? - WRONG! I must admit my credentials at this stage, as an adult having been forced to watch every Disney, Don Bluth and MGM animated film released in the past twelve years, I reckon I've seen most of it all before - the relentless build up on TV and radio, the twenty minutes of unbearable adverts in the cinema ...

...large cokes and a promotional Finding Nemo card later, we were seated in the front row of the large cinema - so we could 'see clearly'. Yes, darling, but mummy really needs a NECK to see. I soon forgot about my neck issues, and the smells of sickly-sweet popcorn, the excited squeals of kids riding sugar-highs, and the U-rated adverts in the delight of this gorgeously animated flick. The main character is worry-wart Clownfish Marlin (que the ... Read review

I'M FOND OF FINDING NEMO
Review of Finding Nemo (DVD) by tallpaul1983

Advantages: Funny, well acted, animated, scripted etc.
Disadvantages: Robbie Williams song to finish it off.

...disappointed by the finished article! Finding Nemo is, as with all Pixar offerings, exceptionally well drawn, animated and directed so I will leave the ‘ooohs’ and ‘aaaahhs’ about all that stuff until later on (as they were worth commenting on!). Aside from that this was a classic film from the new wave of Disney films sweeping across the cinema landscape. The traditional basic moral of the story type thing is heavy-handedly hammered home to the audience ... Read review
