Classic!
This ia a great movie for kids of all ages! Its warm, heartfelt, a little sad at times, with a mix of humor. All around, you can't go wrong. I bought it for my baby sister along with the Cloud B Sea Turtle night lamp. Cute combo!

Go Nemo!
I purchased this movie for my daughter of 24 months and in a instant, she loved it. She has memorized all the characters name and just adores Nemo. Great movie for adults too!

Second best by Pixar
Sorry Nemo, but Toy Story is still my favorite, although this comes extremely close. This movie is great for all ages and a must have for families.

Great movie
Since I recieved this movie, my little girl has watched it over and over. This is one of the few movies (The Lion King, The Never Ending Story, Monsters Inc. and Toy Story) that she will actually watch all the way through. This allows me time to do the things that I need to do. By the way it is a cool movie too.

One of my favorites!
One of my favorite movies of all time, this is a Pixar's finest motion picture and this DVD is unbelievable. I love the movie in both spanish and english, but you also get french in the Two Disc Collector's Edition, aside from both viewing choices, Full Screen or Wide Screen and a lot of bonus.
Awesome choice, great fun for the whole family.

Won't stop watching!
My two year old absolutely LOVES this movie! Which is surprising because no cartoon without music has caught his attention for more than 5 minutes. But not Nemo, he sits so calmly and quitely and watches this movie from start to finish. He'd watch it over and over if I let him.

One of Pixar's Best
After much careful thought, I have decided that this is my second favorite Pixar film (Ratatouille being the first favorite). I'm a big fan of all things aquatic, plus a sucker for sweet family-friendly films. Heck, I even put up with the occasional talking animals. Which all come through in this darling little story with incredible and bright animation. This is also worth the extra disc, if you are a geek like me that likes all the details.

Who doesn't love this?
Finding Nemo is a fantastic adventure packed with humor. Ellen Degeneres is amazing as Dora a forgetful but ever caring fish who teaches Marlin (Nemo's dad) to live again after he has experienced much loss and tragedy.
Their travels bring them many places including a 12 step meeting for sharks (Hilarious, espescially if you are in recovery).

Another Amazing Pixar Offering.
I honestly thought the trend with movie companies was that when they have tremendous success with their first and second films they eventually begin to slide in quality. At least until they hit that next big pinnacle film that makes them a massive wad of cash. Pixar have done the impossible with Finding Nemo. As their 5th feature film Finding Nemo was equally as solid and original as its predecessors, and if anything it has surpassed them.
Set deep in the coral reef of Australia, a family of clown fish are one day attacked by a Barracuda leaving the Father Marlin and one egg. Flash forward a few years and that egg is a young clown fish named Nemo who's been raised by his overprotective Father. One day while at school and becoming tired of his dads suffocating ways, Nemo ignores his dads order to come away from a human boat. Nemo goes and touches the boat, but unfortunately it leads to Nemo being kidnapped by a diver, catching fish for a small aquarium. Nemo's dad Marlin must now set on a quest towards Sydney harbour to try and Find Nemo. Along the way he becomes friends with a Regal Tang fish called Dory who suffers from short term memory loss, but is still very optimistic. She joins Marlin in his quest to find Nemo, although Marlin does have to keep reminding her why she's with him. Along the way they encounter psychotic practising vegetarian sharks, deadly jellyfish and turtles riding the waves. Nemo on the other hand is trapped inside a small fish tank in a dentists surgery, he befriends the fish locked up with him and hopes for eventual help.
As you can see from the plot this is simply a formula of crazy success and pure hilarity. The formula works wonders and delivers a film not just beautiful to look at, but something to wet your pants with laughter. The companion Dory and the vegetarian sharks are just insanely unique and make this movie special in itself. Dory, voiced by Ellen Degeneres is just loveable and admirable with her unmeasurable optimism and her talent to speak whale. With the adventure of Marlin (Albert Brooks) & Dory on their quest the film also focuses on Nemo trying to break out of the tank before he's given to the dentists daughter as a pet. Led by the crafty Gill (Willem Defoe) and helped by the other tank fish, they hatch a plan which will allow Nemo his last chance of freedom.
I did mention that it was beautiful to look at and I wasn't kidding. The scale of the ocean is second to none, and the animators seem to be looking to display the true scale of their quest. The beginning reef scene is something to be witnessed and I can't imagine how cool it would look on Blu-Ray. This is a film with a script and plot with confidence, Pixar do what they do best and they give us a quality film that teaches us a good lesson about letting go when the time is right while still having the entire family in stitches.
The term family film is thrown around a lot when relating to Disney or other children's movies. I can honestly say that Finding Nemo is one of the only movies to fit that perfectly. It teaches the parents a lesson about knowing when to let their kids make their own mistakes, while showing the kids the importance of friendship and respect for our elders. It has the typical childish humour while throwing in the odd adult joke that will go straight over the kids heads.
A great film all round and I sincerely can't wait for it to be on Blu-Ray.
