Finding Nemo, currently playing at Premiere Cinemas, is the kind of movie that made Disney a household name and will have millions of children clamoring to watch it again and again.
This one-hour and 41-minute release from Disney and Pixar, the same creative team that gave you “Toy Story” and “Monsters Inc.,” have put together a delightful movie that will captivate younger viewers and make adults feel young again.
Although “Finding Nemo” doesn’t have as much humor tailored for grown-ups as either of the “Toy Stories” did, there is enough pure adventure and meaningful context about loving someone sometimes means letting go and that parents being over protective of their children can keep them from growing up into the kind of resourceful and self-reliant individual that most parents want their children to be. As pointed out by Dory, played wonderfully by comedian Ellen DeGeneres.
“If you never let anything happen to him, then nothing will ever happen to him.”
The movie also boasts some of the biggest names in Hollywood as voices for the many characters.
Those voices include: Albert Brooks; Ellen DeGeneres; Willem Dafoe; Allison Janney; Elizabeth Perkins; and Geoffrey Rush.
One voice that audiences might have a problem recognizing is the deep- voiced character of Bruce, the reformed Great White shark. He is brought to life by the voice of British actor and comedian Barry Humphries, who is better known as the outrageous Dame Edna.
The plot centers around a clownfish named Marlin who loses his wife and nearly all of his children when they are attacked by a hungry barracuda. Only his son Nemo, the runt of the litter, survives.
Raising Nemo alone, Marlin becomes overly protective of his son determined not to lose him the way he lost his wife and the rest of his family.
His over-protectiveness backfires when it comes time for Nemo to enroll in fish school.
To prove himself to his father and his classmates, Nemo swims out to a boat and touches it against Marlin’s protests. A moment later a scuba diver scoops up the unsuspecting Nemo and takes him to an aquarium in Sydney, Australia.
Wracked with grief, Marlin sets out on a journey across the open ocean to find Nemo. Along the way, Marlin overcomes many obstacles and makes a lot of new friends in his quest.
