Review of Finding Nemo (2003) by Cj W — 01 Jun 2014

Finding Nemo is one of the greatest underdog stories ever told, and also, one of the best animated films ever made. Everything about this story is ironic and contradictory, Marlin lives in an anemone and is used to dangerous stings, however, he is frightened by everything and is very cautious, yet he goes on a determined search for his son, Nemo.

As for Nemo, he has been sheltered his whole life, and you would think that nothing bad would ever happen to him, yet he gets captured and forced to live in a tank. And then there's Dory, who has short-term memory loss, and can't remember anything for more than a couple of minutes, but she is the one who guides them on her and Marlin's journey.

So pretty much everything about this story is unexpected, which always makes for a fun and interesting film. However, there is a lot more to love about this film than just its fabulously written screenplay.

For one, the environment that Pixar created for this film is absolutely breathtaking, it is remarkably convincing, and is always perfect for the story and its wonderful characters. It is definitely one of Pixar's most visually striking films, but it is also one of their most well written and charming pictures.

Finding Nemo is a film you can watch over and over again and still love, because the characters and visuals are so relatable and perfectly rendered. It is definitely among other Pixar greats like Wall-E, Up, and Toy Story 3, if you've never seen it,or have doubts about its ability to charm you, then you need to experience Finding Nemo right now.
