Nemo Found in My Heart

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2003)

Finding Nemo is absolutely amazing. First thing to be said is that the animation is the best to date, as should be expected from the wonderful Pixar team. The plot of this film is wonderful. It has many ups and downs, and it handles the back and forth look between the adventures of the father and the son. The script is excellent. There are many wonderful lines in the film, and never once did I feel this movie was attempting to make children's jokes. The script is very mature. The acting (animation) is wonderful. Lots of emotion visually was conveyed through the characters. The acting (voicing) is great too. All voices matched characters well and I really enjoyed the variety of stereotype voices. Voicing scene-stealer: William DeFoe's, "That never stopped me," as he displays his mutilated side. The cinematography was outstanding. Great camera angles, shots using color were beautiful, while shots that incorporated the suspense of the difficult-to-see-through water were -- well, suspenseful. Finding Nemo is funny, scary, suspenseful, thrilling, moving, and definitely entertaining. This is one of those films that people will have on their DVD rack. See it. Enjoy.
