the tape came quickly and my grand daughter was thrilled.Thank you for an excellant experience
There are elements of the plot that adults would understand and enjoy. I purchased Finding Nemo for a friend. I would reccomend this movie to an adult who wished to get a child a nice movie they could enjoy together. The darker parts of the the story,such as what happened to Nemos's mom were handled very well. Her Dautghter liked the movie so much she watched it until the disk she had was scrathed.She recieved this copy of Finding Nemo on Christmas Day and enjoyed it as much as the last copy of it she had. The special effects are great and a treat for both adults and children.
My favourite scene is that depicted on the box of this 2-disc special edition - a surfer dude turtle ("Don't hurl on the shell, man, I just had it waxed.") who shows Marlin the way to Sydney Harbour, last known location of the boat into which Nemo was abducted.For a casual viewer, there is a lot of adventure and visual surprises to entertain and delight anyone of any age. If my son doesn't get enough exercise it's your fault).This 2-disc edition has some nifty extras, although not as many as the Incredibles or Toy Story's special editions. Finding Nemo is a visual feast, the sound is exciting and fresh and both serve to draw you into the undersea world of Finding Nemo. Compared to other Pixar films, though, the story and emotions just don't have the same impact as the Toy Stories, Ratatouille, or The Incredibles.Son Nemo and father Marlin are the only surviving members of a clownfish family, living on the edge of a beautiful coral reef. (Curse you Pixar. It's always a tricky business to anthropomorphise non-mammalian creatures, but these fish (and turtles starfish, etc). The voice acting is, as expected for a Pixar film, fantastic, with perfectly envisioned characters voiced by Albert Brooks (as Marlin), Willem Dafoe (as a fellow aquarium prisoner willing to risk Nemo's life for a chance for them all to escape), and a flock of seagulls, whose only word is "Mine".
Young viewers, of course, will not notice either of these criticisms and, if my 4.5-year-old is any indication, will want to watch the film again and again. Secondly, the structure of the film is a sequence of one set-piece action scene after another, and it gets repetative.
What follows is a series of adventures that Marlin and Dorie (a friend met along the way) survive on their quest.As mentioned, the visuals are fantastic, and the animation of the various sea animals is well-visioned. First, the ditzy Dorrie's forgetfulness wears thin.
From any other animation studio, this film would have earned an enthusiastic 5/5 stars. However, for the average parent forced to watch repeated viewings of their obsessive child's movie-of-the-moment, it doesn't hold up as well on repeated viewings.
Perhaps the most amusing is a short mocumentary where Jean-Michel Cousteau tries to explain the ecosystem of a coral reef and Dorrie and Marlin keep interrupting ("Zis would never have happened to Papa.") Other highlights are the deleted/alternate versions of scenes and the director's commentary, which is more interesting and informative than the standard commentary. Marlin is especially protective of Nemo and when his first day of school goes disasterously wrong - Nemo is captured by a diver and placed in a salt-water fish tank - Marlin vows to find and rescue Nemo.
are both clearly the aquatic species they represent and clearly emote human feelings.
An engaging undersea story that your kids will find cool. 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. Life along the Great Barrier Reef is full of dangers when you are a tiny clown fish. A treat for everyone. When, 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. And for Marlin, a single parent determined to protect his only son Nemo, there are constant fears and anxieties. Marlin turns desperate as he frantically swims off in search for his son.
I will tell you it might be worth the wait because this is truly one of the best disney movies. This individual told me that they don't plan on releasing Finding Nemo till 2012.so we all are gonna have to wait. Hey everybody it's gonna take a while for Finding Nemo to come out on Blu-ray. Someone very close to me is in charge for Disney media marketing & distribution for the western half of the United States.
