This film deals with death, parenting and how to move on from tragedy. Granted, Marlin did just justification for his over-protective nature but, as he learns throughout the story, Nemo wouldn't have been captured, let alone touched the bottom of the boat as quickly as he did if he hadn't told him that he can't do anything he says he can do in front of his friends. That, and that letting nothing happen bad to Nemo will only result in nothing happening to him. And that's not a good thing either. This lesson and lessons like it needs to be taught more in films marketed to young kids.

A girlfriend told me this is one of the best kid's movies because of Ellen deGeneres as the voice of one of the main characters. She's right, it's not just a kid's film, adults can delight in Ellen's wacky constant running ad-libs that are hilarious. It's also wonderful in presenting the child's point of view as being right and justified: a loving but too fearful and overprotective parent HAS to learn to let go a little, and trust his son a little, so the boy can grow up. Best of all, it's an accurate view of the magnificent Australian Barrier Reef and all its riot of color and natural beauty in all the 10,000++ species of underwater life. You & I may never get to travel there, but this movie brings it into the living room!
The movie is great...VERY funny! I bought it for my grandmother who has been quite depressed recently because she fell and broke her wrist, and basically cannot drive herself anywhere. She loves these animated movies and it cheered her up! What a great way to spend a hot afternoon, enjoying a movie that did not cost much at all and I received it QUICKLY! I love using E-Bay and continue to recommend it to everyone I know. This movie is great for ALL ages and is very clean, compared to the movies that are out there now. IF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A MOVIE ONLINE VIA EBAY...GET THIS ONE, IT IS SURE TO MAKE YOU LAUGH!!
