finding nemo [A]

moviemcpeake snippet: Any chance I get to find myself swimming with brilliant colors in a sea of coral and wonderful animated creatures, you will find me first in line. "Finding Nemo" brought me back through time when I remember my first big screen Disney feature experience. "The Little Mermaid." I have always enjoyed full length animated cartoons and when Pixar was created and updated Disney cartoons to incredible technology animated films, I was in heavenly bliss. Pixar has the perfect way to combine unimaginable crisp colors with real life creatures, expressions, and environments. Where Pixar and "Finding Nemo" really pull you into their world is the writing.

I just loved this story. It was simple and full of great little lessons about life. It was cute, funny, scary, intense, feel-good, .... I could go on. It is a film I can't wait to watch with my kids (even though I am sure more impressive animation and another story will replace it by then). I had so much fun. I must say that the spotlight was on Ellen DeGeneres and her fish. Her voice was the backdrop for the comical fish, Dory. She had me laughing every frame she swam into.

"Finding Nemo" provided me with an imaginary outlet. In the midst of everything one can get themselves caught up in, it is nice to fall back into a theater seat (pending it is relatively clean) and get lost on a fun filled experience. For a brief moment I became part of a magical under water existence that took me on an adventure. I truly felt I was another fish flitting about the sea with my new friends. And for any kid or kid at heart...who hasn't wanted to be a fish? It was like Merlin from "A Sword in The Stone" finally found me and turned me into an aquatic friend to learn the lessons of the sea.

The extra Disney movie references are my way to reinstate the need for good clean entertainment. I recommend watching all of the above films mentioned.

recommendation: if you don't love it, you are dead inside.
