Finding Nemo

Post by Xouqoa »

Good movie, if you enjoy the Pixar stuff. The animation is amazing and the script/story is entertaining. The voice actors (especially Ellen Degeneres(sp)) did really good jobs. It's geared towards kids, but it's well written for adults also.

I agree. Worth seeing. The story was nothing special, as it flowed as one would expect a "serch for the lostone" film to flow, but the characters were pull off well (though again, many of then were sterotypes you would expect to find in such a story). Loved the sharks. Probably could have done without the Turtles, but they were ok. The scene at the very end, after all the Nemo story was completed was, for me at least, one of the funniest in the film. I also have to agree, as much as it pains me to do so, Ellen Degeneres' voicing of [name escaping me now] was really well done and she provided one of the funnier and more interesting characters in the film.

In the genre, Dreamworks >> Disney/Pixar, but I still recommend this film.

I think the majority of Dreamwork's animated films have not been exceptionally good in terms of having both a good story, as well as good animation.

Antz and Shrek both had good stories, but the computer animation wasn't anything ground breaking. Spirit, Prince of Egypt, ect. all have good animation, they've yet to really make a traditional animated film that I would consider a classic.

Pixar, on the other hand, has shown a combination of excellent storytelling, fantastic characters, and a marked improvement with each new feature film in regards to their computer animation.

Just my 2cp.

The wife and I own a bunch of Disney films but have been underwhelmed of late. However, we both really enjoyed this movie. The voice acting was great (although I'm a little tired of child voices, sounds like the same kid in every single movie). We're going to own it when available w/out a doubt.

Disney has always done a good job of portraying the perils of the environment and this was no exception.

The credits were cute but nowhere near as funny as the "out-takes" at the end of Toy Story 2 (possibly one of the funniest things ever).
