Life along the Great Barrier Reef is full of dangers when you are a tiny clown fish. And for Marlin, a single parent determined to protect his only son Nemo, there are constant fears and anxieties. Wh...( read more  read more... )en, on his first day of school, Nemo defies his father and swims off alone to investigate a boat, he is suddenly scooped up by a diver as Marlin helplessly watches. Marlin turns desperate as he frantically swims off in search for his son. As he passes a school of fish he bumps into Dory, an agreeable blue tang with severe short-term memory loss, who offers to help. Together this aquatic odd couple set out on an impossible mission, finding themselves in troubled waters and contending with such hazards as sharks, deadly angler fishes and a forest of jellyfish. Meanwhile, in a dentist's office overlooking Sydney Harbor, Nemo has landed in a fish tank that is home to a colorful group of characters who want to initiate him into their gang. When word of Marlin and Dory's ocean adventures gets back to Nemo, he is so thrilled to learn of his father's search for him that he becomes motivated to move forward with a daring escape plan of his own.

    One of Disney-Pixar's funniest & emotionally heartfelt movies in years!
  • February 5, 2010
    A Pixar triumph. I loved this movie, I cannot remember when I have laughed so hard in my life. One of the best of 2003.

    Based on the attention I could give this movie with a manic 2 year-old running around the house (I"d say I caught a good 90-95% of it) I'll say I really enjoyed Finding Nemo. There were a few misfires like the stoner turtles compounded with my general dislike for Albert Brooks in...( read more) general. The high points outweighed the low points for me and for a kids movie had a way of engaging the adults as well.

    One of the best looking animated films so far? probably. The plot is a typical childrens weepy tale much like 'An American Tale' and its very sickly haha but there are some really nice humerous moments for both adults and kids which make this very watchable. The voice casting is ...( read more)excellent and everybody seems to blend well with their character, lots of nice ideas and originality on view and as said it looks stunning.
    To be honest this is more of a work of art its so crisp looking, still cant top Toy Story for sheer enjoyment and plot coolness but it comes damn close, plus it will get you interested in tropical fish too haha

    A true modern classic, and the best animated film I have seen in the last few years. Great voice talents, great score by Thomas Newman (my favorite), and above all, astonishing visuals and good writing.

David Edelstein, Slate

It turns out that Pixar does fish like nobody does fish. full review

May 30, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

One of those rare movies where I wanted to sit in the front row and let the images wash out to the edges of my field of vision. full review

May 30, 2003
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Finding Nemo isn't quite up there with the company's finest work -- there's finally a sense of formula setting in -- but it's hands down the best family film since Monsters, Inc. full review

May 30, 2003
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Enchanting; written with an effortless blend of sweetness and silliness, and animated with such rainbow-hued beauty, you may find yourself wanting to freeze-frame it. full review

May 29, 2003
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Treats family audiences to a sweet, resonant story and breathtaking visuals. full review
