Gareth von Kallenbach (980 KP) rated Finding Nemo (2003) in Movies
Aug 7, 2019
“Finding Nemo” is the fifth Disney/Pixar film ever made and when it released in May of 2003, and it had the biggest opening weekend for an animated film. How could it not with a heartwarming story and an outstanding cast including; Albert Brooks (Marlin), Ellen DeGeneres (Dory), Willem Dafoe (Gill), and many other big names providing the voices. Like many other Disney/Pixar films, “Finding Nemo” has once again swam to the big screen in Disney Digital 3-D using digital projection to bring the audience along on the journey to help an overly cautious father and his forgetful sidekick find his son Nemo.
The Walt Disney studios along with Pixar studios have a great opportunity to bring in more box office dollars by giving movie-goers of all walks of life to either experience the story for the first time or for the millionth time but in a new and exciting way. A lot of people don’t like 3D technology and at times I am one of those people. Only when a film is filmed in 3D is it actually worth going to see in my opinion. Though I am about to contradict myself, I must say that I was amazed at how well the 3D effects had on the film as the conversion process was masterfully done. One of my favorite things about the film has always been the vibrant colors and attention to detail that the creators put in, all of which can be experienced to a higher extent with the 3D technology. If your doubtful when asking yourself “should I take the kids to see this?” don’t be. It is well worth the price of the ticket.

'Remember Me'
One of the few Pixar movies that I (somehow) managed to miss this when it came out at the cinema, only catching it recently on Disney+.
And, like most of Pixar output's, this is technically and visually stunning, with a sub-plot about the importance of family tied into the main narrative.
(Coco, it turns out pretty early on, is the name of his great-grandmother.)
That narrative concerns 12 year old Miguel, who dreams of becoming a famous musician despite his family's ban on any kind of music whatsoever following a decision made by one of his ancestors to leave his family to go touring (and never came back). Set during the Mexican tradition of The Day of the Dead, Miguel finds himself transported to the land of the dead following circumstances (which I'm not going to go into here), and sets off on a quest to find his ancestors and get their blessing so he can return home.
Dante the dog steals the show.
'Remember Me' deserves to become as well known as 'Let It Go'.

Disappointing after Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one my favourite Pixar films ever, hence I was looking forward to its sequel. Unfortunately it falls short by a massive margin, as it ends up gearing towards a much younger audience.
The biggest charm of FN was the fact that it was universal, however, this film was all over the place, trying too hard to be as witty and heartfelt as the first. The action sequences were not as clever and the humour wasn't as comedic as before. Disappointed to say the least.

Pixar's UP takes viewers on the journey of a lifetime as an elderly man who mourns the loss of the love of his life finds rejuvenation when he meets a young Boy Scout who won't take no for an answer. Filled with moments of joy, bittersweet truths and a reminder of what life is all about, UP brings the laughter with reflection as the two main characters become surrogate family members and have the adventure of their lives.

Hit's you in the heart
I loved Coco and i've now watched this movie bout 20 times since it came out. Its an amazingly well written movie accompanied by the always amazing Pixar animation that never seems to let me down. The story hits home with its message about the importance of family and keeping memories of those we loved alive in our minds and hearts. if you've ever lost a close family member or friend, it will tug at your heart strings.

I LOVED this film so much. The various plots, the cast, the whole story, it's magicness (?), everything. I loved Ian and Barley and their dynamic. I loved their relationship with their mom and the whole story. I've noticed some comments about the ending and that it was confusing but I disagree. I feel like they both got what they needed at the end and they were able to bring their relationship to a new level.
I think this is one of the best Pixar movies and I will probably watch it 12 times over.

The music
Just finished watching it's good family movie is as good as some of the other Pixar movies yes. It's a shame it couldn't be shown at the cinema instead of Disney + would have liked to have seen the movie on the big screen but never mind. Anyway one of the best parts of the movie is the music the sound of jazz not normally a jazz fan but it felt so good to listen too. Overall brilliant movie highly recommend the movie

What is not to love??
Another amazing PIXAR animation.
Toy Story 4 is an amazing add on to the Toy Story Franchise.
Starring all the original characters, plus lots of new faces, Toy Story 4 brings the best film in the series.
Since being 9/10 years old, Toy Story has been a favourite, and now that I am a Mum of 3, it is a go-to family night movie which we all love.
Popular with all ages, it will have you laughing and crying. The emotion is real.

Typical high concept (and colourful) Pixar film, that clearly takes as its inspiration the immigration experience, and set in a city where elements (fire, earth, water, air) are all anthropomorphic and do not always mix well.
Not that I have any personal experience of that (honestly).
As such, I'm sure it resonates more with those who have personal experience of immigration than those who don't, which is not to say that there is nothing to enjoy for the latter group.
May not be Pixar's best, true, but still enjoyable enough.
