The basis of the movie seems a little shaky at first: A father fish searching the ocean to find his son fish who is in an aquarium in a dentist’s office. And if Finding Nemo were a simple, straight-forward movie, it might be lame. However, there are constant twists, turns, and just plain silliness around every corner.
The movie begins with a great tragedy that leaves Marlin (voice by Albert Brooks) with only his son, Nemo (voice by Alexander Gould). The seriousness of the first few minutes of the film are a far cry from what you can expect from the rest of the movie.
Once Nemo disappears, Marlin begins his frantically hilarious journey throughout the ocean to find him, along with his new friend, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a blue fish with a rather leaky memory. There is hardly a dull moment as Marlin escapes from the harrowing situations that the large ocean throws at him.
As we have all come to expect from a Pixar animation, the film targets both young and old alike. It is definitely worth seeing at some point, although most likely at UPAC.
