Movie: Finding Nemo

I came across this in the library the other day and watched it. I had seen it when it first came out. It is just as good as the first time. I had forgotten how well done it is.

Marlin (who is not a marlin, but a clown fish) is a nervous parent. He has every right to be. His son Nemo, thinks his dad is just scared of everything.

On Nemo's first day of school his class takes a field trip. On a dare some of the fishy kids are swimming out into the open ocean - over a steep drop. Nemo is not going to participate, but at the last minute swims toward a boat. He is captured by a diver.

Marlin is frantic to find his son. He follows the boat but is quickly left behind. He finds a fish named Dory to help him. Oh, but Dory has a worse memory than mine. The two of them are off to find "P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney" from the divers mask that fell off of the boat.

Pixar (as usual) does a great job with this film. The graphics are amazing. The plot is solid. And the characters are fabulous. It is the first animated film I have seen that is entertaining all the way through. I love this movie!
