Pixar has done it, once again...

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2003)

I remember when I saw the first few trailers for this, I thought that Pixar may have made a movie that wasn't up to par with the others. However, I decided to see it, just because it was Pixar, and I hadn't yet been let down by any of their movies. I sure was wrong in thinking that this was going to be bad!
The movie starts out on a rather dramatic note, but soon, the humor kicks in, especially with the introduction of Dory. She provides much of the humor, but it isn't just her that makes this movie great. Marlin is Nemo's overprotective dad, and he provides a bit of humor as well. The voice acting is spot on, and Ellen Degeneres (Dory) and Albert Brooks (Marlin), do excellent jobs with these characters. What is even better is that the jokes are not just for children; they are pretty enjoyable for adults as well...(I'm a teenager, and the audience I saw this with was mainly made up of adults...without kids.)This just goes to show how great Pixar is.
The computer animation is also quite stunning, from the backdrops of Sydney, Australia, to the murky look of the ocean water in some scenes. I have to admit that I was quite impressed with several scenes in this film.

The minor characters are great as well. The fish in the aquarium also provide for plenty of laughs. The character of Darla, with her introduction including the 'Pyscho' shower music, was pretty interesting as well...She kind of reminded me of Sid from Toy Story.
Anyway, Finding Nemo is an excellent, well-made flick, and it is probably the best movie so far from Pixar. This is definitely one that you should catch in theaters.
The best movie that I've seen so far this year....9/10
