Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo is probably the best animated cartoon ever made. When it comes to funny movies, it probably ranks near the top. It does not simply rely on superb graphics and effects. It is ninety percent character, and the match between voices and characters is no less than genius. Ellen DeGeneres stands out as the voice of the forgetful and delightful Dory. Equally charming is Nicholas Bird as Squirt. Andrew Stanton as Crush captures his character effectively.

That Finding Nemo is a product of Disney and Pixar is not surprising. The first scene is astoundingly dramatic, in that what we expect to be a major character is quietly and respectfully killed off. It not only sets up the dramatic scenes of interaction between the surviving family members, but it helps to prove that the environment, the ocean, is a truly dangerous and unforgiving place. These are not the cute cartoon characters of the past, who interact violently without any permanent physical damage. In Finding Nemo, if you don't obey the normal laws of safety and caution, you will be subject to a hundred and one real and terrible deaths. Mostly like will be eaten. There is no protective layer in this animation that says: "I am just a cartoon, and the world is an all-right, place." In this cartoon, you fall in love with the characters, you invest your emotions into each little fish or fishy friend, and you know you run the risk of losing them, if they are careless. There are inherent lessons in taking care of yourself as you grow up.

(The only thing that Finding Nemo may be slightly lacking in is some truly catchy tunes. This oversight was corrected with the making of the cartoon movie Madagascar and the song "I Like to Move It.")

It is not the intent here to tell the story. You must see the movie yourself. Young or old, you will be impressed with the results. Cartooning has finally reached a level that outclasses the majority of what the cinema has dared to produce recently. Where mainstream cinema has declined into total lack of originality as it seeks to dredge up another worthless, pointless, old hack TV show and try to convert it into some half-witted effort to generate cash, Finding Nemo is the best there is. Writing, directing, and animation of the colorful coral reef and beyond the "dropoff", are simply unmatched by mainstream cinema.

Albert Brooks is the voice of Marlin (the father of Nemo), Alexander Gould is Nemo, Willem Dafoe voices the weary, scarred but kindly Gill, Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond), is the Bloat fish that occasionally loses control and emits a giant belch or accidentally inflates, Stephen Root is the oddball, Bubbles, Joe Ranft is the ever-cleanly, Jacques, and Bob Peterson is Mr. Ray, the teacher of the little ones.

The film stays away from stupid jokes, obvious puns (despite Marlin as a clown fish, being forced to tell a pun to some sharks), double entendres, and everything else that normally falls into the hack slush of dried-up script writers.

There are some truly inventive comedy scenes, including Dory's rejection ("You don't want me around any more?"), Dory's attempt to communicate with a whale, and the existence of a human girl who truly matches some of the little horrors that doting parents have cultured, and foisted upon the world (Little Darla.)
