A fish separated from his clownfish son in the Great Barrier Reef undertakes a dangerous journey to find him. This 2-disc collector's edition is loaded with bonus features. Includes 2 viewing presentations, widescreen and full frame, all-new animation, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes features and lots more.
Co-helmed by WALL-E director Andrew Stanton, FINDING NEMO follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective clown fish father, as he desperately searches the farthest reaches of the sea for his missing son Nemo. 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!

A movie for all Finding Nemo is a movie for everyone to enjoy and is a perfect example of overprotective parents, young people believing in them selves and, well “forgetful friends”. Submitted by vdmerwe4 (South-Africa) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Family Fun Finding Nemo is a computer-generated animation about the adventures of sea-life off the east coast of Australia. The beautiful, vivid colours are true to our beautiful tropical environment and the action and characters are entertaining for all members of the family. An extra feature of the DVD is the fish formations game which my granddaughter played again and again. Best scenes include the shark self-help group and hilarious whale impersonations.

One Of The Best Family Films You Can Buy Pixar's latest film is pure joy to watch. Finally a film that does not talk down to kids and keeps the adults heavily entertained at the same time!
