I think that this film was beautifully done. The voice talents were perfect for their characters. I think that Helen DeGeneres deserves special mention for her zany character. I'd like to know how much of what she said she made up and how much was scripted. If it was all scripted, she's a genius because her lines sound absolutely spontaneous. The animation was poignant and extremely accurate. It shows that these guys did their marine life homework before making this film. The story is (as most are) an old one of growing up and letting go but I am particularly grateful to the writers for not putting too many fight/nagging scenes as most movies/TV programs do when they use this type of plot. Why they decided for the story to take place in Australia I have no idea but hey, why not? This is truly a universally appealing movie that would be good for anyone to see.
