Review of Finding Nemo (2003) by Adam S — 23 Nov 2013

One of the greatest animated movies ever made, hands down, "Finding Nemo" is a huge part of my childhood (and probably a large reason as to why I am now a marine biologist).

Featuring the voices of Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres, Alexander Gould, Willem Dafoe, Brad Garrett, Allison Janney, Geoffrey Rush, Jeffrey Ratzenberger and Barry Humphries, with small roles to Australian celebrities Bruce Spence, Bill Hunter and Rove McManus, "Finding Nemo" uses it's starpower well to bring a vast array of Australian marine life to the screen in a classic adventure. The plot is action-packed and flows really well, and there's some great social satire in there as well ("My name is Bruce, and I haven't eaten a fish in 3 days!").

I'm not certain it needs the upcoming sequel, and I will follow the news of "Finding Dory" with a healthy amount of skepticism, but if it's half as good as this film, it will be a film worth making.
