Absolutely stunning

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2003)

How many movies can you think about that:
1) Have you laughing *before* the main feature starts ("The Incredibles" trailer, the "Snow Man" short film).
2) Keep you glued to your seat, just watching the incredible beauty of it all.
3) Make half of the entire theater *stay* during the credits, just to watch the main characters swim back and forth and be generally cute, while being completely quiet.
4) End up with all of the people leaving the movie theatre with a huge, sincere, honest and childish grin in their faces?
Not many, I'm sure. Pixar's "Finding Nemo" is all that, and more. A true family movie, a true "buddy" movie, a true "kids" movie; a hugely entertaining and sincere film. Once again, John Lasseter and company play with your emotions, raise up questions to be answered, manage to deliver a deliciously complex, thought-provoking movie, all while entertaining kids from 1 to 12 years old, and making everyone else laugh and *think* throughout it all.
I don't know what or how Pixar manages to deliver such beautiful, enjoyable gems with such regularity. All I know is, the little studio that could will be remembered for a long time for making the only movies that have a heart and soul buried deep within bits and bytes.
Best movie of the year. By far.
