Piscatorial Panache

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2003)

Pixar has served up another platter full of treats in this marineland version of The Incredible Journey. This time it's an overprotective father looking for his fearless but missing son encountering all manner of wonders and wonderful sea creatures perfectly voiced by such top-notch personae as Ellen DeGeneres, Geoffrey Rush, Albert Brooks, Willem Dafoe,Dame Edna, Eric Bana and Allison Janney. The underwater imagery is fantastically detailed and amazingly realistic. Pixar seems to do what few studios can, learn from what works and not be afraid to explore new digital territory in a laudible desire to be more realistic. This is the penultimate Pixar, the aquatic acme, the picean peak..dare I go on. In a clamshell, the movie is stunningly beautiful and appeals to all audiences, although I would have liked to see the movie sans-enfants..maybe I can find a 10:30 PM show? go, no RUN to see this film..you won't be sorry.
