Everything works here... (non important spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2009)

SO Nemo gets lost in the sea, and his father Marlin decides to find him. Simple set up, yet done so well and is a visual achievement with the best form of animation. With the original characters, it never settles for cheap laughs and is something that the whole family can enjoy, because everything works here. Of course, it being Pixar, it has been perfected to every inch, it is enjoyable and fun. However, it has it's single flaw that makes me not give it a complete 10: It never settles for anything original besides the characters. You could mistake this film for a human bashing exercise for kids. Yet I'm sure the kids won't mind: even if the only kid in the story is actually, well, evil. Without giving anything away, it will give your kids an interest in the ocean for three odd weeks and then they go back to littering. And on a note, non- Australians will see how beautiful the harbour is, whilst Australians will realize that the boats are on the wrong side. Still, it is fun for the whole family ENTERTAINMENT: 10 VOICE/ACTING: (Credits to Ellen DeGenres, Williem Dafoe and Barry Humpries as the hilarious Bruce 'the vegetarian' shark) 10 ORIGINALITY: 6 AS A FILM: 9
