One of the best movies of the year!

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2003)

FINDING NEMO is one of the best-animated movies to hit theaters since Monster's INC. Disney and Pixar have done another astounding job. They produce films that teach a lesson or two, but also squeeze out many laughs along the way. It is a movie about a father trying to find his only son. It turns the sea into a fast paced world of humor and fun. Like Toy Story it turns a simple idea into two hours of fun and laughs. Disney and Pixar should be awarded many awards for there achievement. Nemo is a very superior movie that has an important message. Again the special effects are amazing. Further more everything looks very true to life. It's neat how they do it. Along for the swim are Albert Brooks, Ellen Degeneres, William Dafoe, Brad Garrett, and Ailison Janney. There voice work is very funny. The characters in this film are very good. They turn ordinary fish into extraordinary characters. Ellen Degeneres should be given an Academy Award for her voice work. She is very funny as Dory. She carries many of the scenes with an effortless force of humor and innocence. Finding Nemo is a great family film of everyone. All in all it is one of the best movies to hit theaters this year. 3.89/4
