Pixar is somewhat a victim of their own success in that we expect every one of their movies to as good as The Toy Story films. Finding Nemo is not as good as Toy Story or Toy Story2. However, Nemo is a wonderful film that will be a huge hit and will quickly find a place in our DVD collection. Thanks again for the review, MouseBear
Originally Posted By ChipandDale Hi Kirby, on the whole I would agree with your review too. I found the slow parts were more than made up for by the action parts. You needed them to balance out the action. I found it to be one of my favorites that Pixar has done, and especially Ellen Degeneres' performance as Dory. To me it would not have been the same movie without her, her and Albert Brooks made a great pair. My Sister took her grandson to see it, he is 3 and it held his attention while it did the same for us older folks. I loved the references to the other movies too, it is something we have come to expect. They are very ingenous those folks at Pixar, plus as you said they invest their creatures with heart. I wonder if Disney is listeing, one could only hope.

Originally Posted By Jim in Pasadena CA I really, really enjoyed 'Finding Nemo' -- much more than 'Monsters, Inc.' Didn't feel any slow parts. It all seemed to work pretty well for me. In fact, this is my favorite Pixar film to date. Ellen as Dory is just inspired. And all the action in the fish tank -- great stuff. I'm usually very sensitive to 'bodily function' humor [I don't like it] but with the 'I inked myself' and the pelican scene ['nice'], it didn't bother me.

How these artist pour their hearts into a film amazes me. They manage to begin with childhood memories, imagination and charm, and add plenty of smart and savvy humor to satisfy any adult. I'd gladly take Pixar's films over Shrek any day. And don't even get me started on the animation. WOW.
