If I were a fish, I'd want to know Nemo.

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2004)

I loved this guy and this movie. I think movies for kids are really aimed at adults, just like the old Porky Pig and Bugs Bunny cartoons weren't for the kids, but the adults. I wonder why that is, when most adults don't sit through half of them unless they have a toddler pulling on their pinky finger.
The thing I loved the most about this movie was the lessons it taught you about accepting people the way they are - they don't have to be all a like to be cool - and try your hardest even when you think there's not much chance of success. Against all odds, Nemo found his way back home and everyone lived happily after, and it was so much fun along the way seeing the different fish-people he met and got to love. He was so loveably naive and that made it give you heart pains that much more.
A great movie to see with your kids and talk about afterward. Lots of kids may not get the deeper lessons in it, but it'll still be great fun. I bought this one, and the kids have almost worn it out.
