Finding Nemo (2003, DVD)

Finding Nemo is one of the best animated movies I have seen to date and a great movie for the whole family. For anyone who enjoyed the Disney/Pixar movies like Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., or The Incredibles, you are sure to like Finding Nemo. Moviegoers enjoy all these movies because of the mix of the both the adult and child level humor to keep both parties engaged for the entire movie. Like its counterparts, the plot is simple enough to keep your children engaged, yet full of interesting twists to keep the adults interested. And finally, there is the usual stable of star voices to lend some punch to the movie.

Finding Nemo is the story of a fish played by Albert Brooks who travels throughout the ocean to find his son, Nemo, who has been captured by a scuba diver. While his father is encountering all sorts of sea creatures (sharks, jellyfish, sea turtles and pelicans), Nemo joins a band of misfit, hilarious fish in a dentist's office trying to figure out ways to escape from their fish tank cell. The story is well written and the various characters that are encountered along the way give the story the funny twists that keep the family laughing (as well as the younger children engaged).

At the same time, Finding Nemo hits home for parents. The adult theme of the movie explores the anxieties that every parent feels when it comes to letting your children go out on their own. Nemo (who has a malformed fin) is captured when he tries to escape his fathers over- protective role in his life. Finding Nemo does a great job of bringing these real life situations to life.

Albert Brooks is joined by Ellen DeGeneres, a hilarious Willem Dafoe and Geoffrey Rush to bring this story to life.

YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE.

There. Now that I've said that, I should tell you that this is NOT solely a childrens' movie, but will be enjoyed as much (if not more) by adults. The cleverness of Pixar will never cease to amaze me. Only they could take a concept like a full-length movie about fish and make it totally believable. This film succeeds n being very, very funny. Heck, I'm 16 and saw it in the theater with only my mother. The two of us were laughing hysterically throughout the entire thing!

There's alot of sadness and emotion in this movie and some absolutely terrific voice acting--the voice cast is top-notch. There are some touching moments and subtle messages to be heard by all, not just kids. I look forward with anticipation to the DVD release of this wonderful movie. The suspense never lets up; encounters with jellyfish, a whale, and a deep-sea lanturn fish make every moment exciting.

As we know, every Disney/Pixar film is associated with its own special "short." Well, this one is the best yet, and the short film sets you up for the great feelings you'll have while seeing "Finding Nemo." I won't give away the storyline, but it involves a cute snowman, a water globe, and some tropical souvenirs that completely ready one for the overwhelming tropical-ness of the feature film.

One thing I can't get over is how true-to-life these characters are. The attention to finding a unique species for each fish is incredible and adds a whole new, educational, dimension to the movie. There are some memorable characters in "Finding Nemo." First and foremost is Marlin, the lovable clownfish who is an overprotective father to his adventurous son, Nemo. Then there's Dory, the regal blue tang with the memory problem. She provides much of the comic relief but is also an immensely "real" character. Bruce is a mako shark who wants to get rid of the typical image of sharks as mindless eating machines. Crush is a 150-year-old sea turtle with a cool-surfer-dude attitude. Nigel is a helpful pelican. The whole thing takes place in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.

And then there are the aquarium fish, who invite Nemo into their 'club' when he gets scooped from the sea. He goes through the initiation ceremony at Mt. Wannahockaloogee, complete with tiki statues and all. The animation is awesome. Their group includes Peach, the lookout starfish; Deb, a delusional fish who thinks her reflection is her sister; a French shrimp, a puffer fish, a yellow tang, and a royal gramma. They are led by Gill, a moorish idol who longs to return to the ocean.

This film is excellent; it deserves a sequel...

Overall this is one film that nobody should miss--parents, kids, or otherwise. I hope this review has convinced you to go get yourself a ticket to "Finding Nemo."

My kids love this movie. My 9-yr old watches it at least once a week. To tell you the truth, my wife and I like watching it as well every now and then.

i got this as a gift for my fiance who had never seen the movie. I experienced a perfect transaction (price & shipping) and the disc itself was scratched but played flawlessly...kudos.

Finding Nemo is a movie ["tail"] for all ages. This great story has more to it than you think and there are twists and turns that leave you wondering what will happen next. This is definitely a rainy day movie!

I am very pleased with this product. It is as the seller described, in good working order. I was also happy with how fast I received the product, Thank You

This movie is magical! It was enjoyed by both children and adults...even Dad got chocked up!

The art in this film is amazing and the story is so touching. We see a lot of films about mothers and children but this is a great story about Dad. Our son loves this movie as do we!

All I can say is that my grandchildren were thrilled when they saw and DVD box which contained a Nemo picture. They became entranced when the video was started and enjoyed it very much.

I know I know this is a kids flik. But this movie was and still is GREAT. I had to watch this at first just for my niece and nephews, but I loved it really loved it. This movie has a solid story line, and characters that you can get into. Graphics are still to this day very good in my mind. 5 outta 5
way to go

Good story for both grownups and kids. Only drawback is that some of the scenes are scary for kids 5 and under.

aftering purchasing this product and watching the dvd once, it sometimes skips, not all the time just sometimes so I had already given a positive review but now I will think twice about purchasing another dvd or make sure the seller has a return policy

SHIPPING TOOK OVER A MONTH TO RECEIVE!!!!!!!GOOD DVD THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great story for children and adults. Animation and colors are beautiful. Great movie to watch with the whole family.

Movie is in great condition, my kids love enjoying this movie alot. Also shipping was not long to wait. The deal that I got it for was cheap. I didn't have to spend alot of my money on a brand new DVD. I have received the same movie as the price as a little lower on ebay.

The story line is very good, the graphics are outstanding and the lessons taught are very meaningful.

I love this movie because it let's kids, and some adults, know that being afraid is all part of the process. From being an overprotective parent facing the fear of letting their little one venture out into the world to losing a life partner knowing you can move on and still live. That's a little deep but I love that it's a Father / Son movie rather than the traditional movies that Mommy always takes care of the kids. Good, heartfelt movie. We laughed, cried and had a great time swimming with the turtles :-)

The product condition is good.
I'm sorry that I'm too late to leave a review.
Anyway, I love it.
Thank you!
