Finding Nemo Story
Story:
Marlin is a clown fish living in the Great Barrier Reef off of Australia. After having lost his spouse and most of his children in a barracuda assault, heprotective of his only surviving son, Nemo. Nemo and Marlin love each other, but Nemo has been frustrated by his fatherâ overprotectiveness. Regrettably, when Nemo defies his sister and sneaks off on his own, caught by a diver. Nemo is taken as a pet fish and placed in a dentist office aquarium in Sydney with a variety of other fish. Led by Gill, the aquarium fish are trying to make their own escape.
Meanwhile, Marlin desperately chases after his son, but soon loses him. Dory, a fish with a short-term memory issue, helps him try to find Nemo. Thanks to left behind clues, they know where they is. The only issue is getting to him. Together they face the dangers of the ocean including sharks, jellyfish, fishermen, seagulls and more in order to rescue him. However, Marlin can only find his son if they learns to let go and trust the friends they meets along the way.
What Worked:
I�m a giant fan of Pixar�s films, so I was one time greatly relieved to see that Finding Nemo was not a stinker. After a long string of hits, they are definitely due for a bomb, but this isn�t it. If I had to rank it among the other Pixar films, I�d place it on par with Monsters Inc. (Toy Story two remains my favourite.)
What makes Finding Nemo distinctive is the whole fishy setting. The backgrounds are stunning and filled with life and motion. The characters are odd, pretty, eccentric, cute, scary, and amusing. You receive a actual sense of discovery watching the film. It looks as if an alien world, but it�s all based in point of fact. The beauty of the marine surroundings makes the sterile dentist office and aquarium all the more unappealing. The stunning animation by Pixar brings it all to life. While I didn�t like the murky look of the ocean at first, it did finish up standing out in stark contrast to the crystal clear aquarium of the office. The lighting, texture, and detail on all the characters is wonderful, even when they�re caught out of water.
I�ve always loved the ocean and sea creatures. I�ve even kept a saltwater tank with a clown fish and anemone. Based on that familiarity, I think I was one time even more open to the sea life jokes than others might be. The seagulls, detested by plenty of, are a reoccurring joke through the film as they annoyingly squawk, �Mine!� A group of sharks, led by a Great White named Bruce (and voiced by the man that is Dame Edna), form a support group for those hooked on eating fish. A quantity of their side comments are hilarious and culminate with a feeding frenzy to make Jaws proud. A shrimp maniacally cleans the scum out of a tank while kids tapping on the glass terrorize other fish. You also learn that life in an aquarium either drives fish insane or teaches them a lot about dentistry ( in case you ever wondered what they thought about while floating around watching you). It�s all amusing, and in the event you know any marine biologists, they�re going to receive a actual kick out of this film.
The cast is fantastic. Albert Brooks is perfectly cast as Marlin. His frantic behavior is perfectly captured by Brooks. Ellen DeGeneres is great as the absent minded Dory. While I�m no fan of DeGeneres, I can�t think of someone better than her to play the character. Willem Dafoe is nice as Gill, another fish taken from the sea & raised in an aquarium. His drive to escape is made believable by Dafoe. Barry Humphries is comic as Bruce, the Great White shark. I had no idea this was the same man that acts as Dame Edna. Hulk fans may have an interest to note that Eric Bana plays Anchor, of his shark support group members. Brad Garrett returns to a Pixar role as Bloat & John Ratzenberger keeps his role as the Pixar nice luck charm, this time as a school of Moonfish. Geoffrey Rush is also hilarious as Nigel, the pelican who seems to have a controversy spotting windows. Together, all of them make this a fun film & they bring their characters to life.
Not all of the jokes are about the sea, though. There's some comic jokes about dentists in the film, surfer lingo, & more. There�s even an amazing chase sequence between Nigel the pelican & a group of the annoying seagulls. It culminates with a hilarious fight scene in the dentist�s office.
On a side note, keep an eye out for the traditional Pixar Easter Eggs through the film. You�ll spot Buzz Lightyear in scene, Mike from Monsters Inc. in the work of the credits, & references to Psycho & The Shining. Also, be definite to stay through the credits to see a comic bit at the finish. The comic Pixar short Knick Knack, about a snowman trying to escape his snow globe, is attached to the beginning of the film.
