  The "Finding Nemo" story is average at best but what sets it in a class by itself is the computer animation. This is by far the best work Pixar has done. Some of the scenes with the cartoon like human characters were obviously done the way they were on purpose but the scenes of the fish and undersea plant life is totally amazing. The plants move with such real precision and the movements of the fish (fins, gills, etc.) is so real looking it's hard to believe that a computer generated it. That's the real reason to go see this movie IMO.

  Great looking movie, eh? My eyes hurt after watching it. The colors were amazingly saturated and deep. Gorgeous.

  The story was for 6 year olds though . . . literally.

  All those Pixar (and Shrek) CGI flicks are amazing on an HDTV. The colors glow more and they are razor sharp. Much better than at the theater.

  Not much at the Academy Awards this year would make me happier than to see the much more adult "Triplets of Belleville" beat Nemo in the animation catagory. Never happen.

    I must be raising a wunderkind. She's only 17 months and loved it. Unfortunately she lacks the motor skills to write reviews of French comedies, but this morning she went on a potty for the first time. Do you think she's ready for the Toy Story?

      Well, it's a childrens movie and she's a child. The movie is made for people like her, not 43 year old curmudgeons like me.

      Yes, I bet she'd love Toy Story as well.

      Parts of Toy Story II are a bit dark and scary for the very young.
      If she liked Nemo I think T/S I is OK.

    His little hot dog stand on the Outside is doing pretty well, I guess. Does this place even have a moderator?
    I hope not.
    :D

  Good but not as good as the two "Toy Story" movies.

    Finding Nemo being the best yet... It could be since I have a son (7 yrs old) that the father/son relationship particularly resonated with me, but I think these films have progressively gotten better! I can't wait to see what they come up with next...

      Pixar has left Disney so it WILL be interesting to see their next effort.

      I won't compare Nemo and the venerable Toy Story, which I only saw parts of when they showcased it as a novelty moreso than a story of it's own merits, but it also resonated very very well with me. I saw it yesterday night because we had to return the tape, my wife saw it a few days earlier and was pressing me to watch it; I tuned in at midnight and watched it till the very end. Every moment was sweet.

      I must compliment the voices especially. All the actors were [at times incredibly] good.
      It's a keeper.

    In terms of cinematography or content?

      Content. The story (IMHO)is just not as clever as Toy Story I and II nor are the characters as memorable.

        Now we've got to watch the Toy Story then, because our little family loved Nemo.
