FINDING NEMO, directed by Andrew Stanton
and Lee Unkrich, follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an
overprotective clown fish father, as he desperately searches the sea for
his missing son, Nemo (Alexander Gould). Marlin's journey leads him beyond
the Great Barrier Reef into deeper and darker waters, where he meets Dory
(Ellen DeGeneres), a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and a number of
not-so-friendly--and often very hungry--aquatic creatures. Meanwhile,
little Nemo finds himself in a dentist's fish tank in Syndey, Australia,
along with other underwater captives, including Gill (Willem Dafoe), the
group's scarred Moorish idol leader. As Nemo works with his new friends on
a plan to escape their tank, Marlin and Dory swim closer, but they'll need
more than just fins to get into the dentist's office. This fifth
computer-animated outing by Pixar continues the company's remarkable
winning streak that began with TOY STORY. Like other Pixar films, FINDING
NEMO features a story with heart--this time, a father-and-son tale--and
thoroughly charming leads--in this case, Marlin, Nemo, and Dory. And, of
course, there's an army of fascinating supporting characters, including
Bruce (Barry Humphries), a great white shark on a no-fish diet; Crush
(director/screenwriter Stanton), a surfer-dude sea turtle; Peach (Allison
Janney), a stuck-to-the-aquarium starfish; and Nigel (Geoffrey Rush), a
bold pelican. However, what truly distinguishes NEMO from even its CGI
cousins is its stunning depiction of aquatic life, from the colorful
creatures on a coral reef to a blue whale on the vast expanse of the open
ocean. By combining the aesthetic of a National Geographic marine life
documentary with clever jokes and Hitchcock references, NEMO succeeds in
its bid to up the ante for animated films yet again. And be sure to watch
the credits or you just might miss something! Finding Nimo DVD Movie
