Memory of a Goldfish never been so accurate

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2020)

Finding Nemo is truly a brilliant film. And it is so for many reasons.
The story of Finding Nemo is Pixar's simplest by this point. A fish, Nemo, goes missing and his father, Marlin, has to cross the ocean looking for him. It isn't this concept that makes Finding Nemo great, it is how they tell the story. Fish are honestly not something I have ever sympathised with. This film made me feel genuine disappointment and upset for Marlin, which was a surprising feeling.
The characters we meet on this journey are really fun. They have fully realised, complex personalities. They are not just a set of one-note character traits. Humour in children's movies was usually traditional with slapstick and very blunt gimmicks. And Finding Nemo has moments of this. However, large sections of comedic portions in this movie is funny due to actual situational jokes the characters make. Comedic timing is as close to perfection as I've ever seen in an animated movie. And Finding Nemo should be applauded for that.
The ending of Finding Nemo actually made me kind of emotional. Sounds crazy I know. We are watching the struggles of animated fish. But yeah it is what it is.
Brilliant movie. Loved all of it. Would watch it over and over.
