Pixar does it again!

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 2003)

Finding Nemo, like its Pixar generated predecessors, is a joy to watch from start to finish. Full of breath taking underwater vistas, only the talking fish clue you in to the fact that this is not a nature documentary.
The writing is superb. The story is engaging and the humor is of the rare variety that can entertain both adults and children without insulting either group's intelligence. Pixar proves, without resorting to gratuitous depictions of sex and violence (like much of Japanese anime), that cartoons are not just for children. Ellen DeGeneres steals the show as Dory - a fish afflicted with short-term memory loss. While generally a humorous character, her moments of drama are truly heart-breaking. Her performance is Oscar-worthy. Five out of five stars.
