Finding Nemo

I have seen Finding Nemo at least over 30 times. I know every word, and every scene of the movie. From the first time I saw Finding Nemo I fell in love. This movie is perfect for adults and children, which makes it the perfect family movie. The movie is full of hilarious jokes and an adorable plot. The cartoon animation is incredible, PIXAR really came together to make an amazing film.

The movie first opens with clown fish, Marlin(Albert Brooks) who's wife and fish eggs were killed by a bigger fish. Out of the hundreds of fish eggs that were eaten, only one remained. Marlin decided to call this fish, Nemo, just like his wife wanted.

Years later Nemo (Alexander Gould) is starting to grow up and its time for him to start attending school. Marlin is extremly nervous for his son to leave the reef because Nemo is all he has. Nemo becomes fed up with his father being so protective. When Nemo is at the "drop-off" with his classmates, they start to set bets on who can swim out the farthest. Nemo goes to touch the "butt" a.k.a the bottom of a fishing boat, when he is captured by a fisherman from Sydney.

Marlin is freaking out and so nervous that his son was just captured. He starts to swim as fast as he can after the boat, but he cannot catch up. This is when Marlin runs into Dory,(Ellen DeGeneres) a blue tang fish suffering from memory loss. From then on Marlin and Dory swim across the deep blue in hopes of finding Nemo at P. Sherman 42 Wallabe Way, Sydney, by following the East Australian Current. They meet many interesting and funny characters along their journey.

Finding Nemo has become such a huge hit in American culture, that it even has its own ride dedicated to the movie at Disney's EPCOT. Children everywhere carry around little clown fish. Parents are able to enjoy the humorous characters. Even my 54 -year-old father loves this film. Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie a 98% and says, "Breathtaking animation, talented vocal work, and a well-written screenplay add up to another Pixar success."

The New York Times says, "The humor bubbling through ''Finding Nemo'' is so fresh, sure of itself and devoid of the cutesy, saccharine condescension that drips through so many family comedies that you have to wonder what it is about the Pixar technology that inspires the creators to be so endlessly inventive." And they are exactly right.
