Great Movie For the Whole Family!

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2012)

This is possibly the best animated movie I have ever seen and enjoyed. Pixar's "Finding Nemo" is the perfect family movie that everyone will love watching. While it is entertaining to both adults and children, parents can appreciate that the animated film is teaching their kids important life lessons.
Clown fish, Marlin (Albert Brooks) is an overprotective father who has lost in one and only son Nemo (Alexander Gould), in the vast ocean. Throughout his journey to find his son, Marlin meets various ocean species that help him along his quest to find Nemo before it's too late. Though the story-line is simple, the characters Marlin encounters on his journey such as the unforgettable Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), teach not only Marlin to loosen up a bit but children and adults watching the movie many beneficial life lessons.
I have to say that Pixar has defeated DreamWorks for this time period of animated films; the purpose and realist of "Finding Nemo" characters outdoes the "Shrek" and "Shark Tale" characters by far. The marine environment depicted in "Finding Nemo" is remarkably lifelike as well as the actions of the oceanic creatures featured; the accurateness of the species allows children to learn about them as well as entertained by their human behaviors. The richness of colors throughout the movie makes you feel as if you are actually in the ocean with the characters and lets those watching know what marine life actually looks like.
Finding Nemo has a perfect combination of humor and life lessons for all ages to understand. Other animated kid movies include humor that only kids would enjoy or don't understand at all however, Finding Nemo contains a balance that both parents and kids would approve of. Many of the witty jokes made in the movie are funny for kids and parents due to the human behaviors the character portray such as the sharks "fish are friends not food" group, similar to a human's alcoholic group. The actors do a marvelous job in representing each characters part and bring something special to their voice. Dory, a Blue Tang fish played by Ellen DeGeneres plays an important part in the movie by assisting Marlin find Nemo, but the Dory's character would not be the same without the always optimistic voice of Ellen. Within "Finding Nemo," there is a character that everyone, adults included can relate to. Whether that be a pestering parental such as Marlin or a quirky character such as Dory, the whole family can always adore watching this movie.
I recommend this movie to everyone who enjoys being entertained by a kids movie every once in a while. It definitely is captivating in all aspects and makes you realize that the smallest things in life are amusing. Whether you are five or ninety five, you will be extremely pleased with the quality and entertainment of this incredible movie!
