Rivals Shrek

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2003)

WARNING: CONTAINS TWO TEENY SPOILERS!
After 1999, when Toy Story 2 came out, I basically assumed that 3-D animated films were a lost cause. Then Shrek came out (I'm waiting for the sequel, as you can see, with excitement!) and the genre was revitalized! Later that year Monsters Inc came out, a great film but there was no competition between it and Shrek. Jimmy Neutron was just for the kids. Then Finding Nemo came out! This film is defenitely as good as, or possibly better than Shrek. This is the best Disney film in years. The animation is beautiful and seamless. It is both the funniest film and the most dramatic film (the "keep swimming" scene with the salmon, for example) at the same time. The score is excellent, and the hilarious scenes in the dentist office hold the comedic glue of this film together. I hope this one wins Best Animation Oscar for '03. Congratulations Disney!
