oscar-bound masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2003)

This is Pixar and Disney's most successful film to date. And it should be, because the story does justice to the visuals and the visuals do justice to the story. "Finding Nemo" has such a simple story but it so well told, well emphasized, and well-meant. The characterizations are excellent, the personalities fit well together into the colorful theme. The editing is flawless. The music is just right - not too dramatic, not too perky and childish. And the animation is, what can we say, a masterpiece. It is funny and touching at the right places, possibly one of the best animated films ever made. This film should be Oscar-bound.
