More of an adventure than a comedy

Rating: 3/10 (15 October 2003)

Took my nine-year-old son to this. I nearly fell asleep during it, so I was curious as to his opinion. Grudgingly, he said it was "OK".
The animation was, as ever, fantastic - more so the backgrounds than the main characters (fish are not that expressive) - but the story lacked the lightness of touch and invention of other Pixar titles; some of the jokes were, I felt, a bit laboured (vegetarian sharks?)
Quite tense and exciting in places but I only laughed once and my son not at all.
