Finding Nemo (2003) movie review

Family Quest

space

When his son Nemo is captured, a timid clownfish searches for him.

This is an animated children's film that is beautiful to look at and plotted with the usual adventure encounters to amuse the family audience.

The mixture of humour and pathos works well here and the story is satisfying for the adult audience as well as for the children. It is better-timed than many adult pictures, our attention is caught and kept, and that is the aim of a good story.

71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. That's a lot of space to find one fish.
