'Finding Nemo' is a computer-animated movie that premiered in 2003. The movie is produced by Pixar Animation Studios. The movie is directed by Andrew Stanton. The story is also written by Andrew Stanton. The screenplay is by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds. The movie stars the voices of Albert Books, Ellen DeGeneres, and Alexander Gould. The movie is about a clownfish father that searches for his son Nemo.
Finding Nemo is a great animated movie for all audiences. This movie successfully blends humor for adults and children across its entire running time. There are so many great jokes and moments that will appeal to adults and children alike. This movie seamlessly transitions the plot and the writing to appeal to both of the audiences. This is still a rated G movie, but I am impressed with how much the movie could have moments that engage adults.
The three stars in this movie do a fantastic job. Albert Books as the overprotective clownfish father and Ellen DeGeneres as a forgetful Dory make for a great duo as they set out to look for Nemo. Alexander Gould as Nemo has great moments especially once he reaches the dentist tank. The cast do a great job and it shows on the screen. Even if they are animated on the screen, their voices have great emotion.
This movie does not have any villains. Any antagonist in this movie simply misunderstands the situation that the fish are in. This leads into situations where I cannot say that the movie fails to engage despite a lack of a villain. The obstacles that Marvin and Dory find themselves in are caused by the adventure and not a villain seeking to undermine them. It made for a stronger story overall as the characters tried to work together rather than be antagonistic to Marvin, Dory, or Nemo.
The animation in this movie still holds up today in 2019. Even if the visuals are dated, I did not feel this detracted from the experience much. The main appeal is the plot and character. The visuals are more of a nice addition. There are still grand sequences in this movie like the current ride.
I would recommend 'Finding Nemo.' This is an excellent animated movie for all audiences.
