Charming film with outstanding animation quality

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2009)

Finding Nemo is a thoroughly charming animated feature and continues Pixar's dream run. Telling the story of how a clown fish struggles to reunite with his son, the film has a slightly scary beginning and invokes memories of Bambi's mother! The animation quality is stellar. Special mention for the dream-like jellyfish scene with its hidden menace. Ellen Degeneres steals the show with her wisecracks. Albert Brooks is occasionally annoying as the over-protective dad. The film is just a bit too long and could have been trimmed. It has a 'three hanky' emotional ending and you will probably leave the film with a smile on your face.
Overall 8/10
