Well animated pablum

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2003)

I watched the DVD and finished the film with a very flat feeling. Pieces of the film were amusing, the animation was very good, but, in the end, there was nothing to really like.
DeGeneres's character (Blue?), was a staple sidekick character whose only noticeable character trait was a poor short (and occasionally long term, as the plot required) memory, which did absolutely nothing for the story and was about as uninteresting as Nemo's stunted "lucky fin".
Not an awful film and I am sure that young children will be amused by it as they will be by almost anything animated) but anyone over the age of about 7 or 8 should leave it alone.
