You know it's going to be an animated classic when

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2003)

You found yourself really care and root for the main characters despite you know (A) they are merely animation, and (B) this is Disney so everything is bound to OK. This is a great, entertaining movie for everyone from aged 6 to 106. It may be a little too intense for very young children (under 6). Otherwise, it's a nearly perfect mix of great computer animation (countless eye candies in life-like ocean setting), a refreshing take of an old plot, fun and intense actions, adult humor and homage to old classics like Shinning. At times, it was poignant and inspiring but never preachy. A must see indeed.
