Another (Searching For/Find) Pixar film!!!

Rating: 6/10 (6 October 2003)

I'm sorry but this film was disappointing! It was of course a great looking film full of eye candy, but plot wise it was little different from the past Pixar films... yet again the main character has to go and search for or find someone!!!
Toy story - Search/Find our way back to Andy's home Toy story 2 - Search/Find Buzz! Bugs Life - Search/Find bugs that can help Finding Nemo - Search/Find a fish with a tiny flipper
I don't know who to blame for this lack of originality... Disney or Pixar?! I have loved every film they have done so far... don't get me wrong I enjoyed Nemo for the first 10 minutes. But it just hit me how similar these films are! I kind of hate myself for realising that too, because I so wanted to enjoy this film. Instead I found my self rolling my eyes at most of the events that occurred. I'm sure this film will entertain the under 16's which is the target audience. I just wish as with the other Pixar films there would be something there to entertain the more mature crowd. I'll try and end by saying if I had to rate this film out of 10 I would give it a 6.
As a little side criticism I thought Disney/Pixar missed a good opportunity to raise awareness of water pollution with this film. It made the ocean seem like a sparkling clean place, with no environment concerns. A little bit of awareness within the film would have been a nice touch.
PS. After saying all this, I have to admit the gulls were some of the funniest characters I've seen in a Disney/Pixar Production.
