Pixars track record for creating astounding entertainment is currently unmatched, and just gets better with 'Finding Nemo'. This film is dazzling, heart stopping and uproarious. I don't think many of the adults in the audience were really anticipating it to be as amusing as it was. The characters are instantaneously relatable and, in a nice touch, there are no real baddies. Even the shark and the whale become quite engaging.

This movie is perfect for adults and kids. See it again and again because it, without question deserves every bit of praise it gets.
