Synopsis
There are 3.7 trillion fish in the ocean, they're looking for one.
A tale which follows the comedic and eventful journeys of two fish, the fretful Marlin and his young son Nemo, who are separated from each other in the Great Barrier Reef when Nemo is unexpectedly taken from his home and thrust into a fish tank in a dentist's office overlooking Sydney Harbor. Buoyed by the companionship of a friendly but forgetful fish named Dory, the overly cautious Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic journey to rescue his son.

So this basically was remade into Taken, right?

What a lovely way to start the new year!
My New Year's Resolution is to watch better films, and so far I'm certainly hanging in there. As you probably may have understood, this is one of my absolute favorite films. This is a masterpiece and shows an Animation studio at its peak, both creatively and technically. The attention to detail is almost unparalleled. I'm no marine expert, I'll just have to take other people's word for it - everything in the film's ecosystem is projected with perfect accuracy. I understand that marine biologists were quite astonished and impressed by this when the film came out, in what one traditionally would perceive as a…

Uno de esos pocos reestrenos en 3D que de verdad tienen razón de ser, más allá de volver a disfrutar de tamaña majestuosidad en pantalla grande. La deslumbrante paleta marina de Pixar brilla aún más con la dimensión extra, pero la sofisticación de su apartado plástico es simplemente un apoyo (o un comentario) al plano narrativo, en el que "Buscando a Nemo" sigue siendo una auténtica clase maestra. Habría que rebuscar mucho en el cine de los últimos diez años para encontrar personajes mejor construidos que Marlin o momentos más poderosos que el clímax, aunque a mí se me sigue encogiendo el corazón con ese prólogo delicado, durísimo y tan sorprendente como la primera vez. Cine puro, atemporal, donde la humanidad de los personajes se ve reforzada por la infinidad del océano. En fin, que es "Buscando a Nemo". Qué os voy a contar yo.

One of my favorite Pixar stories, and an excellent example of what Pixar does best - simple, yet powerful ideas that connect to all of us. These are stories made for families - stories that appeal to the children, stories that transform the adults into children. They speak to the fears, hopes, and senses of humor of both children and adults. While there are nods to only the adults (e.g., The Shining reference), they never stoop to the level of rudeness and lewdness to throw a bone to the adults who have to watch. Maybe that’s the difference. Adults want to watch Pixar movies. They have to watch that fourth Shrek movie.
It looks absolutely stunning on Blu-ray (and honestly the 3-D isn’t bad too), a reminder to myself that I really need to pick up Planet Earth/ the Blue Planet.

Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
-SeagullsYes, yes the movie is great. If you've seen it already you know why, if you haven't seen it you should. What annoys the hell out of me though is that these 3D conversions are nothing more then money grabs and add nothing to the film on any level. In fact I find it detracts from the film as most of the previously bright colors are now dim.
Now of course this is coming from someone who will see a film that was shot for 3D in 2D instead whenever given the choice over the two. The thing is though when you have a child that's excited over the prospect of seeing a "classic"…

Some (read: most) would argue that rereleasing classic animation in retrofitted 3D is an insult to those who worked hard to animate the original in beautiful 2D, and I'd be in complete agreement with them, however, seeing classic Pixar films on the big screen, particularly ones I missed on the big screen first time around, is always a treat.
It's one of the greatest road movies of all time appearing in 3D this time: Finding Nemo. I was 17 when Finding Nemo came out, and I missed it on the big screen, although I did see a pirate copy of it on a TV in Craigmillar when I was visiting a girlfriend in Edinburgh. I've since seen it countless times… -
entertaining, heartwarming, amusing. another pixar movie. nothing wrong with it, but the same formula/different setting combination is only worth so many stars.

A colourful, vast, engrossing world that is truly "under the sea."

My favorite animated film of all time, terrific story, great mix of comedy and drama, and gets you invested from the thrilling beginning to the satisfying ending.

Hilarious. Fun to go back to from time to time. Rewatched in 3-D. m&d

I'm not a huge Pixar fan although there are a few of their movies that I like. Finding Nemo is adventurous, has plenty of fun and looks fantastic.

Still very cute. Got a little boring in the middle but I'm glad I finished it.
