I never would have imagined a kids' movie spoofing scenes from Alfred Hitchcock's and Stanley Kubrick's movies, but they do it here. I don't know how they did it, but they did it.
A very well done movie. This was one of the most successful Disney films at the cinema to date. It is the underwater story of a young clown fish named Nemo Alexander Gould taken by divers and put into a tank. Along the journey Marland and Dory encounter three sharks, including Bruce Barry Humphries, aka Dame Edna Everage named after the rubber Shark in the Jaws series , stinging jellyfish, turtles in a current tunnel, including "dude" Crush Andrew Stanton and much more, but he finds him eventually, and everything's fine.
Very good! Tweekums 1 September Now Marlin must brave the dangers of the open ocean to find Nemo again. He is accompanied by a regal blue tang named Dory; Dory has a problem with her short term memory so quickly forgets everything.
Together they find a mask lost by one of the divers and learn that they came from Sydney; on the way there they encounter sharks, an angler fish, jelly fish and a group of sea turtles.
Meanwhile Nemo finds himself in the aquarium of a North Sydney dentist. This, Pixar's fifth film, got off to a great start, it was darker than I expected but done in a way that shouldn't be too upsetting for even the youngest of viewers.
Marlin's wife is killed by a barracuda and every egg except Nemo is lost but none of the details are shown. Once that is over it quickly moves on to introducing young Nemo then his capture by the diver that sets the story in motion. The parallel stories of Marlin, and his new friend Dory, searching for Nemo and Nemo's interaction with the other fish in the aquarium and their plans for his escape are nicely interwoven. Each has plenty of drama; none of it is too scary though and where there are scary moments they are lightened by some comedy such as the trio of sharks that are trying to stop eating fish.
The characters may be fish but they still have plenty of personality; especially the central trio of Marlin, Dory and Nemo.
Each of these is distinctive; Marlin is timid and pessimistic, Nemo is full of youthful enthusiasm and Dory is cheery despite her memory problems. The secondary characters are fun too; I particularly liked the 'surfer-dude' sea turtles! As one would expect from Pixar the animation is top notch, the undersea environment looks fantastic and the actors who provide the voices to the characters to an excellent job.
Overall this is a fun film that, while aimed at a younger audience, can be enjoyed by all ages. Quinoa 11 June Finding Nemo, from co-directors Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich who have worked as directors on past pixar films like Bug's life and Toy Story 2 have devised an adventure film that takes the viewer far beyond anything imaginable with Little Mermaid.
In fact, much of the humor and dialogue reminded me of the sophistication that went with an animated movie like Antz, where the top celebrity personalities came forth to give voice to wonderful creature creations. And speaking of Antz, this time there is a neurotic, obsessive caricature of a comic in Finding Nemo, here named Marlin and played by Albert Brooks.
After his wife, a clown fish, and his hundreds of eggs are devoured by a larger fish, he finds one egg left and becomes compulsive in securing it's safety. His son Nemo, it turns out, gets caught in a diver's net and taken to a Dentist's office in Sydney, Australia.
This sets Marlin off on his quest across the ocean, along with a fish who forgets things as soon as their mentioned, voiced by Ellen Degeneres. They encounter sharks in rehab, turtles with Californian accents, a whale quasi-Pinnochio there , and much more, all the while little Nemo, inside the fish-tank and renamed Sharkbate, starts to gain the courage his father never considered he had, and vice-versa.
The Pixar team, like in their previous treats, deliver worlds that usually can only exist in the imagination - the under-the-ocean scenes, making up about 65 percent of the film, are obviously breathtaking in design while not going overboard in realism, and the scenes in the dentist office and on the pier are precise too.
It's like we've thought we've been here before, but now the filmmakers take us right into the nexus of it. This splendor, along with the voice work by Brooks, Degeneres, Willem Dafoe as the leader of the fish-tank pack, Geoffrey Rush as a pelican, and all the supporting parts, give anyone in any age group the finest animated spectacle of the summer.
By the way, those seagulls are the funniest thing Pixar's come up with since the aliens in Toy Story! So nine years after first enjoying this at theatres, I decided to watch this again in 3-D with my movie theatre-working friend. I was astounded to find out how much I forgot since that first time so I was mostly experiencing this as if I hadn't seen this before which made for a wonderfully touching, thrilling, and, of course, very funny time for both me and my friend.
And seeing their adventures in looking for Marlin's son Nemo was even more pleasurable when we find out who all three main players encounter. Really, all I'll say now is if you like seeing classic movies on the big screen, I highly recommend you once again watch Finding Nemo at your neighborhood movie house right now!
Coventry 10 December I'll be totally honest and confirm to you that everything what they say about this movie is true. 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.
The modern artists of Pixar never cease to amaze the audience in expanding their horizons. Finding Nemo is visually stunning and you can have nothing but respect for the people who created it. 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.
That's usually a sign of being typically mainstream and fake I'm allergic to fake sentiment and pathetic feel-good movies but I was really touched by this one. 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. This movie really relativates itself and that's important for a good comedy.
And it's hilarious!!! And the voices are cast perfectly as well The character of Dory speaks through the voice of Ellen DeGeneres steals the show. She's an adorable blue fish who suffers from amnesia. She forgets what she's doing or going to every five minutes and that really leads to hilarious situations. Movies like this aren't just being made for children exclusive 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.
I recommend this to everyone in the world. 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. You can't find too many animated features more revered. The Great Barrier Reef is full of dangers to be aware of.
Its also nice that you can stay close to friends for a safe existence. On Nemo's first day of school, he defies his father by swimming out too far from the coral to inspect a boat. Nemo, the little clown fish, is soon scooped up by a diver. Marlin realizing his son has been fish-napped Terrific underwater animation.
The movie takes place almost entirely under the sea, in the world of colorful tropical fish--the flora and fauna of a shallow warm-water shelf not far from Australia. The use of color, form and movement make the film a delight even apart from its story.
There is a story, though, one of those Pixar inventions that involves kids on the action level while adults are amused because of the satire and human or fishy comedy.
The movie involves the adventures of little Nemo, a clown fish born with an undersized fin and an oversized curiosity. His father, Marlin, worries obsessively over him, because Nemo is all he has left: Nemo's mother and all of her other eggs were lost to barracudas. When Nemo goes off on his first day of school, Marlin warns him to stay with the class and avoid the dangers of the drop-off to deep water, but Nemo forgets, and ends up as a captive in the salt-water aquarium of a dentist in Sydney.
Marlin swims off bravely to find his missing boy, aided by Dory, a blue tang with enormous eyes who he meets along the way. These characters are voiced by actors whose own personal mannerisms are well known to us; I recognized most of the voices, but even the unidentified ones carried buried associations from movie roles, and so somehow the fish take on qualities of human personalities.
Marlin, for example, is played by Albert Brooks as an overprotective, neurotic worrywart, and Dory is Ellen DeGeneres as helpful, cheerful and scatterbrained she has a problem with short-term memory. The Pixar computer animators, led by writer-director Andrew Stanton , create an undersea world that is just a shade murky, as it should be; we can't see as far or as sharply in sea water, and so threats materialize more quickly, and everything has a softness of focus.

From a life lesson perspective what are some of the key points that you hope others can take away from your story 'Iron Boy' and even more so what is something that you hope you leave behind to your children that you hope they can apply to their own lives?
My children have been raised to see the person, and not the disability, that they have.

Make sure your parents are safe in their own home by following these tips. There is going to come a time when your parents need a little help to safely live in their home.
This is just an inevitable part of life. The goal is to keep your parents as comfortable as possible while also knowing that they will be safe when alone. Luckily, it is fairly easy to make a few adjustments to the house that drastically improve its livability for seniors.
These are the four things you must do to help your parents create a safe home as they age. Poor eyesight, reduced hearing, and imbalance put older individuals at risk of falling while moving around the house. Falling is actually the main cause for injured seniors. Since this is a dangerous problem, you need to remove all fall hazards from their house immediately. Throw rugs, long cords, and old unused furniture all pose a huge risk.
Make the house as open as possible. Walking up stairs puts a lot of stress on older bodies. They have to use all of their strength just to go up a flight of stairs.
There is also a major injury risk if they fall while using the stairs. Avoid all of these dangers by adding a stair lift in the house. Stair lifts will safely go up and down the stairs whenever needed with absolutely no risk of injury. The slippery surfaces in the bathroom make it one of the most dangerous rooms in the house for your older parents. There are several changes you need to make to ensure they stay safe.
Put rubber mats inside and outside of the tub to prevent slipping. Add grab bars in the shower and next to the toilet. It is also a good idea to lower the temperature on the water heater to stop accidental burns in the shower. The best thing you can do to make sure your aging parents are safe in their home is by making regular visits to see them. In addition to spending valuable time with your family, you will also be able to access the house and your parent's well-being during these trips.
Make sure some of your visits are unannounced to get a true sense of how they are living. Your parents took care of you your entire life, so it is now time to repay the favor. Think about that the next time you have caviar. Nemo learns to respect limits and Marlin learns not to be controlled by them. Oh, and Dory is one of the greatest characters in literary history, period. Also, she speaks whale. We had Nemo bath toys, Nemo beach toys, Nemo pajamas that she wore that entire summer. I appreciated that candor.
It felt real. The one that reduced me to a sobbing wreck right there in the theater? You could spend an hour replaying those early shots of the coral reef that Marlin and Nemo call home — or that lyrical, terrifying scene in which Marlin and Dory get swarmed by jellyfish — and still not catch every eye-tickling detail.
And the image of the tiny clownfish in the giant ocean perfectly captures what we all feel at some point or another — that we are alone in a strange and hostile place. Crush and Squirt for sure, but also the mimicking school of fish, and Nigel the pelican, the crazy seagulls and even the fighting crabs.
