Pixar and Walt Disney's Fourth Movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 March 2004)

Finding Nemo is the fourth movie that Pixar and Walt Disney have created. The movie was directed by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich. Finding Nemo is a story about a father, Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks) and his son, Nemo (voice of Alexander Gould).
As the movie opens, Marlin and his wife are staring at their unborn children. Suddenly a large predator fish appears. As they try to protect their children, Marlin is knocked unconscious and is unable to protect his family. When he awakes, he discovers that his wife and children are gone except for one egg. As the story progresses, it shows that that one egg has grown and is named Nemo. Adventure and new experiences is what Nemo longed for. It was hard to satisfy his urges because of his overprotective father always worried that he was in danger. One day while playing dare with his friends, Nemo ventures too close to a boat and is captured by one of the divers. His father tries to save him, but is too late and the journey of Finding Nemo begins.
The critical intentions of the writers and directors of the film were to show that always trying to protect your children can do more harm than good. They also show that the love for a child is strong and powerful thing which pushed Marlin to find his son regardless of the dangers or obstacles that would stand in his way.
Things I liked about the movie were the animation, everything looked real and vibrant, and the appeal of the characters especially Dory who puts a comical twist to the movie. I also enjoyed when the angel fish in the tank, Gill, who taught Nemo a lesson that he couldn't let his deformed fin hold him back from taking risk. Though I thought it to be a little sad when in the beginning of the movie Nemos mother dies. The movie its self I thought to be very cute. I am looking forward to the next Pixar and Walt Disney movie that is produced.
