Totally Excellent, Dude!

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2003)

This is the BEST movie from Pixar yet. The story line was well thought out, and excellently executed. I was worried that parts of the movie would be too intense. However, the humor that infused the entire movie kept this from happening. Finding Nemo is the best kind of comedy. Totally unlike so many comedies today, where you have a few really funny scenes connected by long periods of not funny. My husband commented that this was the most continuously funny movie that he had seen in a long time. I personally did not expect to like this movie. I don't care for Albert Brooks, or Ellen DeGeneres, but the movie itself distracted me from who was doing the voices.
My two girls, 7 & 9, loved it. My youngest really enjoyed the scenes with the sharks, the turtles and, her favorite part, the whales. My oldest enjoyed the way Marlon and Dorrie escaped from the sharks, and the way the movie ended. We will be purchasing this one when it comes out on DVD.
