Summary: Another Pixar Film for All Ages
Comment: Another Pixar film that all ages will enjoy, "Finding Nemo" delivers a simple story with some pretty heavy themes. It's one of those rare gems that will entertain you when you're young, but get all the more relevant and meaningful when you see it again later down the road. Contrary to some of the negative reviews, it is never too violent or too sad for the kids to see, giving only the fun scares that movies like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King had throughout. It's about as universally enjoyable as a movie can get.

Aside from WALL-E, it's the most visually stunning Pixar movie I've ever had the pleasure of feasting my eyes upon. The world of the ocean opens up in a beautiful array of colors with scenery as complex and detailed as the real thing. So much work was put into making it look real, and the producers knew when to make certain creatures look just like their real life counter part (the jellyfish) and they knew when to stylize others (the seagulls). From the true to life things to the more cartoony things, everything here is so exceptionally done, from the overall story arc, to the themes of dealing with loss and learning to let your kids experience life, to the characters, to the voice acting, to the exceptionally crafted DVD itself.

I wouldn't call "Finding Nemo" a masterpiece or a classic, but it aims high and comes very, very close. What it is, though, is an astoundingly well done film that tells a story from the heart that will entertain, stun, and put smiles on the faces of the audience.

Summary: Prompt Service
Comment: Seller shipped the item promptly. The only discrepency we had was that the item was advertised as being in "very good" condition. However, when the item arrived it was in "good" condition at best.

Editorial Reviews:

A delightful undersea world unfolds in Pixar's animated adventure Finding Nemo. When his son Nemo is captured by a scuba-diver, a nervous-nellie clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) sets off into the vast--and astonishingly detailed--ocean to find him. Along the way he hooks up with a scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who's both helpful and a hindrance, sometimes at the same time. Faced with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans, and much more, Marlin rises above his neuroses in this wonderfully funny and nonstop thrill ride--rarely does more than 10 minutes pass without a sequence destined to become a theme park attraction. Pixar continues its run of impeccable artistic and economic success (their movies include Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, and Monsters, Inc). Also featuring the voices of Willem Dafoe, Geoffrey Rush, and Allison Janney. --Bret Fetzer
