I wanted my young grandson to see this movie. He loves it. Also I'm pleased with the packaging; good and secure.

Rented this for some kids that we may be sad and they were really loved it

Nice

Good quality movie

Finding Nemo is a good movie with super production and great Disney themes: family, paternal instincts, friendship, loyalty, and the parent-child conflict dynamic of protecting the child versus the ability to let go and let the progeny do things on his/her own. For those who don't know: Marlin and Coral are clownfish who produced a school's worth of eggs but Coral and all but one of the eggs are eaten by a barracuda in the first minutes of the film (scary for little ones). Nemo is the sole survivor and grows up with his overprotective dad Marlin. On his first day of educational school, Nemo is captured by a diver for his dental office's saltwater fish collection and Marlin overcomes his fears of open water to swim through the whole coast of Australia to find Nemo, aided by Dory the nutty blue tang who tracked the path of the dentist's boat.The movie is not as funny as most of the other Pixars, though it has its moments: the Fisheaters Anonymous meetings for sharks, some of Ellen DeGeneres' scene-stealers as Dory the forgetful blue tang, the goofy fish Nemo meets in the dentist's tank who provide color commentary for dental procedures.The movie is also more poignant than the other Pixars. And you're guaranteed never to look at fish in fishtanks the same way again.As a DVD, the extras are not very good. There are "deleted scenes" but they were deleted at the storyboarding stage of production, so they did not get the full Pixar compu-graphic workup and are instead crude drawings with proto-type voiceovers [Pixar does an initial voice-over of the script with in-house production crew members providing the voices, then brings in the high-priced talent like DeGeneres, Albert Brooks [Marlin], Geoffrey Rush, Willem Dafoe, etc.; sometimes Pixar folks' work remains in the movie such as Crush the surfer-dude turtle in this flik, and Heimlich the fat caterpillar from A Bug's Life]. There are also some educational bits that are interesting.But the character interviews with Dory, Marlin and Nemo are not particularly humorous or well-written, they just magnify the characters' more noted traits. Worst of all, there is NO BLOOPER SET -- the best feature of the other Pixar films (they're so popular that Monsters, Inc. had TWO Blooper sets). That is a true loss.

Finding Nemo is one hour and forty minutes and made its movie debut on May 30, 2003. The story plot is about tiny Clown Fish named Nemo who is capture and his dad goes to rescue him. That is the story in a nutshell. The long version goes like this. Marlin and Coral are looking over there eggs and are deciding what to name them and swim back into there home and start to swim around and have fun. Coral swims out of her home and Marlin gives chase and when he turns around Marlin spots a barracuda. Marlin tries to fight off the barracuda, but is knocked out cold. When he awakens, he sadly discovers that the barracuda has eaten his wife and children. Marlin finds one egg that is a little damage and names him Nemo and take cares of the egg. Nemo grows to be a guppy with a misshapen fin. Nemo and Marlin head off to school where the teacher and the students are going a field trip. Marlin finds out that the class is going to the edge and gives chase. Embarrassed by his father, Nemo swims to the open water and is capture. Nemo is taken to a fish tank with other sea fishes. Nemo is a birthday gift for the dentist's niece. Marlin gives chase to the boat but is unable to swim fast enough to follow. Marlin meets Dory (who has short term memory loss) and the adventure begins. The two finally arrived in Sydney, Australia and are befriended by pelican named Nigel. Nigel tries to help rescue Nemo but his attempt is failed. Nemo finally is flushed down the drain of the dentist's sink. Nemo emerges from the sewer pipe and tries to locate his dad. Nemo runs into Dory and the two look for Marlin. The three of the finally hook up and live happy ever after. The only thing I did not like is the packaging with contain both the Widescreen and Full Screen version of the movie. The consumer should decide what to buy.
