Almost the best

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2010)

What can be said of the movie that inspired legions of people to purchase clown fish? Put simply it is among Stanton's best, I'm just astonished by the quality of the film overall. The animation was just top notch, so intricate and filled with little details that it takes several viewings to notice it all. A well-crafted story and magnificent score also bring this film to near absolute perfection.
And then as the icing on an already scrumptious cake, the voice acting was great, with Albert Brooks, Alexander Gould and Ellen (?), of all that I had expected. Unlike many formulaic and tiresome Disney movies, this one is fresh with its material and story, and is oh so enjoyable after many watches.
