Amazon.co.uk Review
A delightful undersea world unfolds in Pixar's animated adventure Finding Nemo. When his son Nemo is captured by a scuba diver, a nervous clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) sets off into the vast--and astonishingly detailed--ocean to find him. Along the way he hooks up with a scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), who's both a help and a hindrance, sometimes at the same time. Faced with sharks, deep-sea anglers, fields of poisonous jellyfish, sea turtles, pelicans and much more, Marlin rises above his neuroses in this wonderfully funny and thrilling ride--rarely do more than 10 minutes pass without a sequence appearing that's destined to become a theme-park attraction. Pixar continues its run of impeccable artistic and economic successes (Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc). Supporting voices here include Willem Dafoe, Geoffrey Rush and Allison Janney. --Bret Fetzer

Decent 2nd disc.......2007-10-30
This film is absolutely briliant for all ages and the additional disc actually has stuff on that you'd like to watch/use as appose to the usual rubbish/of no use to anyone that you find on all 2nd disc's. Whatever your age buy it!!!
I LOVE THIS FILM.......2007-08-19
One of the best animated films ever to see the grace of a movie screen, Finding Nemo is a classic piece of cinema that'll probably stick around for decades to come. The classic story of a kid looking for his father looking for his kid finds new life when re-located to the bottom of the ocean. Taking the manifestation of aquatic life, the movie confronts us with one of the most beautiful and miraculous secrets this Earth still has to offer. To balance it all up, Ellen DeGeneres's forgetful-yet-unforgettable Dory brings in the masses with her witty voice over, while the endless variety of colors and vivid imagination rolls in the rest.
Finding Nemo is one of those few films that'll make you want to laugh, to cry, and to embrace your loved ones over and over again.
Get the 2 disc collectors edition - NOW.......2007-07-19
There is not much to be said that has not already been covered in the reviews written but I would just like to add that this 2 disc collectors edition is amazing. It is really double the fun because there is so much more to watch and enjoy.
I guess I am already preaching to the converted if you are ready this but Nemo is a firm winner in our house.
I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTT!.......2007-07-15
Finding nemo....ahhhh what to say about Finding Nemo. Well one word comes to mind..."AMAZINGGGGGG". This film is sooo brilliant, god bless whoever came up with the idea! If you still have not seen Finding Nemo, you must of been on a different planets cause this movie is something you can not miss. However if you have not seen it...watch it NOWW!!!! You'll be thanking god every night for this gift. All true disney fans must have this movie, if you do not...your not a true fan! :)
best movie for ages!.......2007-04-28
Ah finding nemo! This is set in aussie, great holiday place! In the great barrier reef, which, as i've been there, has to be the most beatiful place on earth!
This movie is a true gem, it has funny bits, sad bits, scary bits, and sharks!
If you hadn't guessed, its about a fish called nemo, and his overprotective father, who makes his son annoyed, so he swims off on his own... well i can't tell you more, cause that would spoil the film!
watch out for the dentist...!!

I Gave This a Chance despite the first viewing.......2008-01-01
I saw this film with my grandmother at Radio City Music Hall as a child back in 1974 (I think this is the year). I had not read the book at that time, and certainly did not like the movie. Since falling in love with the soundtrack of Le Petit Prince (Richard Cocciante's and Elisabeth Anais's French version), I decided to give this film another look. Also, it's considered a classic, so I thought maybe I'd like it better now.
I did like the main cast. I think Richard Kiley as the aviator was excellent and I very much enjoyed Steven Warner as the Little Prince. Gene Wilder (the Fox) like always, was great.
The movie was really bad, though. And, the musical score was appalling (I do not use this term lightly)! The Little Prince, too, is filled with poor melodies and lyrics. I am not a huge fan of Lerner and Lowe's, but these songs are just really atrocious. I wound up fast forwarding halfway through most of the songs since they sounded horrid and repetitive. Worse, they seemed to come out of nowhere with no real transition from dialogue to music. The Prince's Rose, for instance, said goodbye coyly yet gently but then belted out her obnoxious and brash goodbye song. And, it was HORRIBLE as were most all the tracks. Really atrocious stuff. I'm surprised it even passes as music.
The main message here is wonderful. The film does keep the main message, but if you don't know the book, some of the lessons learned and taught are lost in this film. You reach the same conclusion, because it's spelled out for the watcher, but some lessons (vanity, too much work-not enough play, focus on money) are lost along the way. In addition, the troubled yet charming lamplighter is absent here. Really, if time was an issue, why not cut out the horrendous musical numbers? These planetary visits the Prince makes in the book are pretty integral to the story.
Again, the scenes between the aviator and the prince were wonderful. Gene Wilder was excellent. The supporting cast was okay, but they didn't get the book's points across.
I'm surprised anyone thinks this is a classic. I have not seen the Rachel Portman's operatic version, but I can't sing the praises of Richard Cocciante's and Elisabeth Anais' version (LE PETIT PRINCE). Although it's not available with English subtitles, it is absolutely wonderful. And, the lyrics to the songs are almost the exact words that Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote, set to music. So, if you have the book in English, you can follow along with the dvd film version without any issue. In fact, the first song, Dedicace, is the exact dedication that Antoine de Saint-Exupery wrote, set to music. And, Daniel Lavoie is perfect as the aviator. The music to this is truly sublime.
The last of the great musicals.......2006-08-14
I first read the Little Prince for an English course, and loved the book. OK, it was written in French, and I read ity in English, but thats life.
The author was a French aviator before ther WW2, and I believe some of his exploits may be found in the book. He flew from Paris to India, I know that, and that is the starting point for the book and film.
How do you deine perfection? Lerner and Lowe is a good starting point; a good story; a fine cast of actors and a very good actress; the Prince is wonderful, simple and full of the joy you need to make the story believable; and Bob Fosse doing his own song and dance routine, the snake in the grass.
Its a story for children, i recently watched it again with some friends children, between 7 and 14, and they loved the film.It is also a wonderful comment on our society, but that is for the adult to appreciate.
For me, the 2 best parts of the film are Bob Fosse as the snake, and Gene Wilder as the Fox. Both are very clearly enjoying themselves, and so is the boy.
There is some sadness in the film, as the way that the Prince returns home. But at the same time, there is laughter and happiness, and tunes that will stay in your head for months to come. I'm still singing the Snake in the grass routine after a week.
