The Best of the Best

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2003)

Nothing really needs to be said here about Pixar that hasn't been said before. Their track record for producing amazing entertainment is currently unparalleled. That track record just gets better with "Finding Nemo". This movie is gorgeous, heartstopping and hilarious. I don't think many of the adults in the audience were really expecting it to be as drop-down funny as it was. The characters are instantly relatable and, in a nice touch, there are really no villains. Even the shark and the whale become quite endearing. (there's just the barracuda and he's gone before the opening credits)
Ellen Degeneres is wonderful as Dory. Every line that she delivers in the entire film is absolutely perfect. Actually that can be said about all of the performances, but her character steals the show because she is, at the same time, the funniest and sweetest fish in the ocean.
This movie is perfect for adults, perfect for children, heck, perfect for teenagers. See it again and again because it is, without question, the movie of the summer and deserves every bit of praise it gets.
