Disney/Pixar's Oscar-winning family comedy - the second highest grossing film worldwide for 2003, behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and currently the 26th highest grossing film of all time.
When a fisherman captures young Nemo near the Great Barrier Reef, his overprotective dad Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) journeys across the ocean to find him. Helping him is a forgetful Regal Blue Tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), Bruce the Great White Shark (Barry Humphries), Crush the Sea Tortoise (Andrew Stanton), and Nigel the Pelican (Geoffrey Rush) who can bring the search onto dry land.

I could write an entire dissertation on how much I love this movie, but simply put, if you haven’t seen Finding Nemo in years (or, dare I say, ever), this 3D release is a must. The thoughtful conversion turns the screen into an aquarium, emphasising Pixar’s beautiful sense of depth, framing and cinematography. Unlike some of Disney’s previous efforts (Beauty and the Beast 3D, Lion King 3D), Nemo 3D’s existence is completely justified.

A spectacular comedy-adventure that's never less than totally immersive. Not quite the masterpiece that Toy Story was, but it's the closest Pixar have come since. Go fish.

The humor bubbling through Finding Nemo is so fresh, sure of itself and devoid of the cutesy, saccharine condescension that drips through so many family comedies that you have to wonder what it is about the Pixar technology that inspires the creators to be so endlessly inventive.

This time the dad is the hero of the story, although in most animation it is almost always the mother.

Terrific-looking and sweet, it's certainly up to the superior standard Pixar has set for prime family entertainment. While not as spectacularly cracking as hip teens and upwards would like (it's more Monsters, Inc. adorable than Toy Story canny), the bright imagining and imaging of the underwater world is swell.

What's more impressive, and in the end more important, is the high standard of storytelling that Pixar continues to meet by locating both humor and emotional depth in worlds created out of lines of code.
