To give a cartoon character a real human disorder is risky, to say the least, and I'm glad the filmmakers didn't lose the nerve to include this ingenious device, which not only generates some of the film's biggest laughs, but reinforces the character interaction that is so central to the story. This movie, however, creates a unique character in Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a fish with short-term memory loss. The story employs the same basic formula used in "Toy Story," in which two characters, one uptight and the other clueless, are thrown together as they're forced to journey through a world populated by creatures that are a lot more knowing than the humans realize. The manner in which Marlin finds his way to his son is so inventive that we can forgive the film for the number of coincidences involved. Most of the humor is based on parodies of human behavior: repentant sharks start a club that's like Alcoholics Anonymous, a school of fish act like obnoxious DJs while forming themselves into spectacular patterns, and a four-year-old girl behaves like most kids that age, oblivious and destructive. Far from making the film pedantic, this approach results in an intelligent but still entertaining picture. The realism is so striking that by the end of the film, you'll almost believe it possible for fish to plot an escape from a tank. The fact that the animals talk and understand what's going on is treated as though it were a natural feature of the world. In a scene that I'm sure Gary Larson of "Far Side" fame loved, a pelican discusses with a group of fish the intricate details of dentistry. There is a strong sense of locale, as Marlin (Albert Brooks) travels across the Pacific to Australia, where even the animals speak with an Australian accent. The fish tank is constructed out of real devices. All of the animals are based on real species. Instead, the movie invests its world of sentient animals with a surprisingly scientific texture. But such sequences only call attention to how far this movie generally departs from old cartoon conventions. There are occasional nods to this brand of humor in "Finding Nemo," as when a flock of seagulls ram into a boat and we see their beaks crowing on the other side of the sail. Humor in traditional animation is usually based on broad slapstick and physical exaggeration. I have enjoyed most of the computer-animated films made so far, ranging from Pixar films like "Toy Story" and "The Incredibles" to DreamWorks films like "Shrek." But "Finding Nemo" is the one that remains unparalleled, not because of its comedy or creativity, both of which are equaled in the "Toy Story" movies and in "Monsters Inc.," but because it truly, more than any of the previous computer-animated features, reinvents the genre of the children's animated film. No matter if you're 9 or 99 years old, Finding Nemo will bring a smile on your face and leave behind a warm feeling in your heart. I recommend this to everyone in the world. They're good for everyone to realize you have to entertain yourself from time to time and just to enjoy the little things in life. Movies like this aren't just being made for children exclusive. She forgets what she's doing or going to every five minutes and that really leads to hilarious situations. She's an adorable blue fish who suffers from amnesia. The character of Dory ( speaks through the voice of Ellen DeGeneres ) steals the show. And the voices are cast perfectly as well.like the voice of Willem Dafoe for Gill, for example.a perfect choice. And it's hilarious !!! Every side character in Finding Nemo (and there are a LOT of them) is exceptional and worth a mention. This movie really relativates itself and that's important for a good comedy. The moral and valuable life lessons are always present, but they're not shoved down your throat or thrown in your face all the time. I'm allergic to fake sentiment and pathetic feel-good movies but I was really touched by this one. That's usually a sign of being typically mainstream and fake.but Finding Nemo is not. I was more or less skeptic about watching it, because it was so overhyped ! Two days before it got released in my country, the TV and press loudly announced that the DVD broke all records in the USA during its first release-day. Finding Nemo is visually stunning and you can have nothing but respect for the people who created it. The modern artists of Pixar never cease to amaze the audience in expanding their horizons. It's a brilliantly animated masterpiece with lots of humor that actually works and a plot that really brings tears to your eyes from time to time. I'll be totally honest and confirm to you that everything what they say about this movie is true.
