| Being a HUGE fan of Pixar's work
I was really looking forwards to this movie. My friend Frank
(Yes another Frank :P) thought he could wait for the DVD but
I insisted he come along and I would pay his ticket. I think
many people had his same thoughts because the cinema was 80%
empty. I was VERY surprised at this. Just before Nemo started,
Frank's Coke Cup broke and emtied the entire contents onto
his shirt and shorts. Not a good way to get into the movie,
especially when one doesn't even want to be at the show in
the first place - LOL.
Lights down and we see Knick Knack. One of Pixar's First
cartoon shorts. I love this film but wait...NO...NOT PIXAR
TOO !!!!! If there is one thing that REALLY bugs me is the
desecration of a Classic Movie using the excuse of 2003's
Political Correctness. In the original, the little Bikini
Girl and Mermaid Souvenirs had a "larger" chest,
2 round clay balls that worked with her design style and most
likely, how such an item would have been sculpted in a real
souvenir shop. Nothing more shocking then your Star Wars Slave
Leia figure. Now they have removed the round balls and have
a painted on bikini on a flat torso.Hello? What is this all
about? If the look was so objectionable, why had it appeared
in the Original Version? I don't object that she would have
a painted on bikini but at the choice of Sensoring the Original
Vision. Ok, I'm off my soap box now :)
The first thing I must say about this movie is that it looks
AMAZING. The colors and lifelike beauty of the ocen colors
is Jaw Dropping. When we move to the dentist office, the locale
looks so real though filled with amusing charicatures of human
beings. The little girl with the braces is just too funny.
Although gorgeous, I will admit that my friend frank was right
in the sense that you could wait for it on DVD and it would
look just as amazing. Unlike X-Men ar Matrix, there is no
real reason to see it on a 500 foot screen. Plus being a kids
film, you will avoid having 5 year olds running up and down
the aisles when they loose their interest 10 minutes after
the film starts. :P
The story is simple and follows the Disney Cartoon formula
(Highlight to read Spoiler) Mom gets
eaten along with 499 egs and only 1 - Nemo survives, Dad is
scared of losing Nemo which he does, and then they have to
find each other in the end, to a tearfull reunion :)
I must say that Dory, Perfectly voiced by Ellen DeGeneres,
really steals the show. Every scene she is in is simply SO
funny. When you switch to the Dentist Office scenes, as funny
as they are in their own right, you just look forwards to
returning to Dory. When she speaks Whale, I was almost Peeing
in my pants. LOL.
There are many memorable moments in the movie, the seagulls...Mine,
mine, mine, mine LOL, Deb and her Reflection sister Flo :P,
Bruce the shark, The Stingrays, the Whale, the Turtles...it's
all great but not at the depth of Toy Story 2 or Monsters
inc. Don't get me wrong, Finding Nemo was Excellent but I
can't say my Fave of all Pixar movies.
If you don't mind screaming kids :P See it now. If you aren't
in a hurry, pick up the DVD this fall. I know it will make
a great holliday present :D
