The kids liked it....mostly

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2005)

When I go to these movies I do not expect any entertainment for me. I just want the kids to enjoy themselves. These days they put all this stuff in for the adults that goes over the kids heads. Yes this makes it tolerable to sit through a kids movie, but the problem is the more of that stuff (e.g. Reference to "American beauty", "Planet of the Apes", etc) the kids don't get it and they get bored. They do put in stuff that adults like and kids like (e.g. the "move it move it" song) which is the best part. This movie had about 30% adults stuff the kids won't get it. I don't know about your kids, but mine can't handle 2 minutes of movie where they don't get it. Nemo was the perfect balance. When they toss in a adult joke it didn't last more than a few seconds.
I gave it a 7. I would have given it a 6, but my kids were singing the "move it move it" song back to the car so I bump it to a 7.
