Bland, and somewhat scary

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2003)

I found this to be the worst Pixar movie. From the first minutes, my 3 year old was terrified of the film, it didnt help that they started it off with a preview of the Pirates of the Carribean movie. The film was filmed with dark imagery and some scary moments, enough that after the first 15 or so minutes, my 3 year old was asking if we could go home now. The clown fish was annoying, not funny. Dory (think that was her name) had some great funny moments, but not enough to save Nemo. The highlight was the turtles and shark moments, but for the most part it is down to a very familiar pattern that is getting old. Pixar needs to bring back Lassiter or they will soon find themselves second-string compared to PDI/Dreamworks.
