Finding Nemo [VHS] Review
For all my reviews visit my website
I am NOT reviewing the DVD. Just the movies unless otherwise stated.
Please note that the rating above might not accurately reflect my thoughts, you will see a rating sentence at the end of the review.
it is definatly something fun to watch. It ain't the best Pixar film ever made, but it is one of the best. The biggest thing about the story is it seems to reflect Bambi, in Bambi, we saw how the evil of man is destroying our wildlife. While, in here, we see man destroying our undersea life. We see the epic struggles that good soles will go to rescue people they love.
Finding Nemo puts the usual "Hero Story" into a mix, it plays around with the usual story, but, I'm not gonna explain it all to you right now cause I'd sound like a professor.
So, Pixar is the weird place between good Disney Movies and bad Disney Movies, it still has that corny feeling and stereotyped characters, but it really gets to your heart and has a lot of meaning. I think I've also figured out a few mysteries behind this movie.
A. How did Dorry get her short-term memory loss? You say it runs in the family? Remember her questioning that? I think it came from the BANG when Marlin first meets up with Dorry. B. Some of the fish in the tanks are relatives to fish in the sea. For instance, the yellow BUBBLES fish, I personally think might be related to Dorry. Proving that her family is not short-term memory loss, just blond (no, just kidding...however the actor who played Dorry was blond.)C. Where did Nemo get his name? Anemone, A Nemo Ne. A Nemo Knee, Nemo has a bad fin, Knee is part of a human limb, see the connection?
This actually has a great side-story, I know most of the time a side-story isn't great, because it's usually a side-story, here, it's two stories in one. You can do a report on Marlin's adventures and Nemo's adventures with the same movie
I am an animal freak, so I really did like the huge abundance of lots of species in the movie. The humor is pretty good, not professional, just pretty good, worth a few laughs. Except, holly crap, the whale talk from Dorry, flipping hilarious!!!!
This movie also never seems to stop. There is a ton happening in this movie, and it is never slow (likely because of the amount of fish in the sea.) There is always multiple scenarios, and it just goes to show how hard a good father will go to rescue his offspring, especially after such an incident from at the begging. (BTW does the wife of Marlin sound familiar to you, similar actor I dunno.)
One great thing about kids movies these days (I can't believe I just said that,) is that there all original. This, is no exception. (Well, Where the Wild Things Are and Christmas Carol are remakes, but you get the jist.) I could go on about the symbolism, personification, metaphor and inner meaning about this movie, but I can't. Lemme just tell you, the whale is from Pinocchio, there is no denying that.
The Rating? This isn't a 4.5/5 star movie, but, I think it deserves it for everything it gives us. Now, don't get me wrong, the classic Disney is still the best, but, this was really good.
I, Da Ca$hman signing off. 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

What a wonderful movie! I purchased this DVD to watch with my grandson who is 3 years old. He was mesmerized with the vibrant colors and talking fish. Great movie for kids and adults alike.
