A genuinely funny and touching film that, in less than a decade, has established itself as a timeless classic.
It makes even more compelling what is still my all-time favorite Pixar film.
Think of this re-release as an encore, a handy touchstone for you and your kids. "Finding Nemo" was and remains the gold standard against which all other modern animated films are measured, a classic from the day it premiered.
In this seamless blending of technical brilliance and storytelling verve, the Pixar team has made something as marvelously soulful and innately, fluidly American as jazz.
Nemo, with its ravishing underwater fantasia, manages to trump the design glamour of earlier Pixar films.
Though some scary parts may make the very young fret unduly, the film also puts forward some thoughtful messages for both children and their parents. [Blu-ray 3D]
Detail is what holds your attention from frame to frame: the panorama of soft and hard corals, the different textured sea bottoms, the undulating seaweed, and the schooling sardines that look flashy and real as can be.
I don't exactly worship Pixar, but "Finding Nemo" is truly a great film.
Gill is Platoon's Sgt. Elias if he'd survived Sgt. Barnes' treachery and returned to civilian life weary and hard-bitten from his experiences. And also a fish.
Finding Nemo 3D is a quality post-conversion experience that successfully enhances the 2003 film's original standout visuals.
The 3D gives the images a little more depth but they already had heft and weight. The 3D is a money-making gimmick, nothing more.
A great blend of storytelling and technology.
It's downright curmudgeonly to remain focused on the negatives when the rest of the picture is saturated with invention and wit.
It's bright, it's beautiful and it hasn't aged a day. So why, then, do we need to see it in 3-D?
A rare example of a movie that not only survives its 3-D conversion but benefits from it
It was as funny as I remember and brilliant because it is subtle. It just knocks it out of the park. I love everything about this movie, one of my favorite Pixar movies of all time, 5/5 Schmoes. The new sound/3D adds to the greatness that is Nemo.
If you're fishing for fun in an ocean of movie mediocrity, grab the kids or the grandkids, fork out a few extra bucks and see this one in three-dimensions.
It's a great movie, so much fun, an acheivement that should be enjoyed by children of all ages and worth seeing it in 3D.
Sea-worthy w/enhanced visual lure and rich, humorous characters set in a double narrative; this 3D revisit allows us to fall overboard all over again.
If ever there was a film that wasn't broke, this is it. So naturally they converted it into 3D for a special re-release this weekend. (Stupid irony.)
I believe my sensitivity to certain creative choices of the picture has dulled some, while age has opened my eyes to its complex relationships and tireless sense of exploration.
