Review finding nemo
2. Finding Nemo is a American computer-animated
comedy-drama adventure film written and directed by
Andrew Stanton, released by Walt Disney Pictures,
and the fifth film produced by Pixar Animation
Studios. It released on 30 May 2003.
4. We had watched many animation film, and we think
that Finding Nemo is one of the most exciting
animation film. It has good story, and lots of funny
too.
5. The story starts from Marlin is a clown fish living in the Great Barrier
Reef off of Australia. After having lost his wife and most of his kids in a
barracuda attack, he’s extremely protective of his only surviving son,
Nemo. Nemo and Marlin love each other, but Nemo has been
frustrated by his father’s overprotectiveness. Unfortunately, when
Nemo defies his father and sneaks off on his own, he’s caught by a
diver. Nemo is taken as a pet fish and placed in a dentist office
aquarium in Sydney with a variety of other fish. Led by Gill, the
aquarium fish are trying to make their own escape.
Meanwhile, Marlin desperately chases after his son, but soon loses him.
Dory, a fish with a short-term memory problem, helps him try to find
Nemo. Thanks to left behind clues, they know where he is. The only
problem is getting to him. Together they face the dangers of the ocean
including sharks, jellyfish, fishermen, seagulls and more in order to
rescue him. However, Marlin can only find his son if he learns to let go
and trust the friends he meets along the way.
6. What really makes Finding Nemo unique is the whole fishy setting. The
backgrounds are stunning and filled with life and motion. The
characters are bizarre, beautiful, eccentric, cute, scary, and amusing.
You get a real sense of discovery watching the film. It seems like an
alien world, but it’s all very based in reality.
There are some funny jokes about dentists in the movie, surfer lingo,
and more. There’s even a fantastic chase sequence between Nigel the
pelican and a group of the annoying seagulls. It culminates with a
hilarious fight scene in the dentist’s office.
The cast is fantastic. Albert Brooks is perfectly cast as Marlin. His
frantic behavior is perfectly captured by Brooks. Ellen DeGeneres is
great as the absent minded Dory. Willem Dafoe is good as Gill, another
fish taken from the sea and raised in an aquarium. Barry Humphries is
funny as Bruce, the Great White shark. Eric Bana plays Anchor, one of
his shark support group members. Brad Garrett returns to a Pixar role
as Bloat and John Ratzenberger keeps his role as the Pixar good luck
charm, this time as a school of Moonfish. Geoffrey Rush is also
hilarious as Nigel, the pelican who seems to have a problem spotting
windows. Together, they all make this a fun film and they really bring
their characters to life.
7. It slowed down a bit in a few spots and caused the kids to get antsy. The
pacing alternates between frantic chases and slow, emotional, dramatic
moments. The trailers and commercials also show practically all of the
best moments in the film. There are very few surprises.
Parents might want to be aware that there are some scary moments. For
example, while the sharks are more or less good characters, Bruce does
go into a frenzy and tries to eat our heroes. Seeing a Great White with
black eyes, rows of sharp teeth, a loud voice, and a massive charging
body is an awesome sight. Some kids with us weren’t fazed by it while
others cowered and hid their eyes. Kid’s reaction may vary. Marlin’s
wife and kids are also all eaten in a rather scary moment. Though it
happens off screen, it might be too intense for some kids. Then there’s
the basic plot that is about a child being kidnapped. As if kids didn’t
have reason enough to be afraid of being snatched, this might play on
those fears. Fortunately, it’s buried in enough comedy and animation to
not be obvious.
8. We think that Finding Nemo is a fantastic animation
movie, a great cast, and hilarious laughs.
Consequently, Finding Nemo is a fun animation film
for entire family.
