No. 8 Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo is my personal favorite movie from Pixar yet. It has all the qualities that you'd expect a Pixar film to have. Funny and intriguing story line but more importantly it is visually stunning. When watching this movie I get the urge to sit as close as possible to the screen to let the picture fill my eyes so I see nothing other than the movie. the colors are so vibrant and captivating. I enjoy watching this movie anytime. I have seen this movie more times than I can count, and it hasn't grown stale yet. The premise of the movie is abut a clown fish who is a frantically worried single dad and his son Nemo who suffers from a small fin and a big appetite for curiosity. Most of the movie takes place under the surface of the ocean and in an office fish tank. The thing with this film is that its comedy spans quiet the age gap and it is still enjoyable on all levels. The movie begins with a view into Marlin's (Nemo's father) past. We learn from this clip that Marlin was once married with many children on the way, but somehow all that is gone within the first ten minutes of viewing the movie. Thus creating an insecure paranoid frantic father figure named Marlin. Nemo on the other hand is a little more brave and curious of his surroundings. Marlin doesn't know how to have fun and his adventure portrayed in this film has the effect of loosening him up and relearning how to have fun and still be safe. My personal favorite quality that this movie possess is that Marlin is a single dad and finally single dads are given a shot at the limelight.  While watching this movie it reminds me of my dad when i was in elementary school, and how he would go to work after dropping me off at school. The father aspect of Marlin shows us that he does care a lot and is only doing his best. When he feels like he has lost everything he still pushes forward and teaches a lesson about perseverance. This movie is a great film for anyone under the age of ten and anyone over the age of 25, a superb job was done on the animation and an equally good job was done on the story line. An enjoyable film.
