Brad Garrett returns to a Pixar role as Bloat and John Ratzenberger keeps his role as the Pixar good luck charm, this time as a school of Moonfish.
Hulk fans may be interested to note that Eric Bana plays Anchor, one of his shark support group members. I had no idea this was the same guy that acts as Dame Edna. Barry Humphries is funny as Bruce, the Great White shark. His drive to escape is made believable by Dafoe. Willem Dafoe is good as Gill, another fish taken from the sea and raised in an aquarium. While Im no fan of DeGeneres, I cant think of anyone better than her to play the character. Ellen DeGeneres is great as the absent minded Dory. His frantic behavior is perfectly captured by Brooks. Albert Brooks is perfectly cast as Marlin. It culminates with a hilarious fight scene in the dentists office. Theres even a fantastic chase sequence between Nigel the pelican and a group of the annoying seagulls. There are some funny jokes about dentists in the movie, surfer lingo, and more. Not all of the jokes are about the sea, though. Its all really amusing, and if you know any marine biologists, theyre going to get a real kick out of this film. You also learn that life in an aquarium either drives fish insane or teaches them a lot about dentistry (just in case you ever wondered what they thought about while floating around watching you). A shrimp maniacally cleans the scum out of a tank while children tapping on the glass terrorize other fish. Some of their side comments are really hilarious and culminate with a feeding frenzy to make Jaws proud. The seagulls, hated by many, are a reoccurring joke through the film as they annoyingly squawk, Mine! A group of sharks, led by a Great White named Bruce (and voiced by the guy that is Dame Edna), form a support group for those addicted to eating fish. Based on that familiarity, I think I was even more open to the sea life jokes than others might be. Ive even kept a saltwater tank with a clown fish and anemone. Ive always loved the ocean and sea creatures. The lighting, texture, and detail on all the characters is amazing, even when theyre caught out of water. While I didnt like the murky look of the ocean at first, it did end up standing out in stark contrast to the crystal clear aquarium of the office.
The stunning animation by Pixar really brings it all to life. The beauty of the marine environment makes the sterile dentist office and aquarium all the more unappealing. It seems like an alien world, but its all very based in reality. You get a real sense of discovery watching the film. The characters are bizarre, beautiful, eccentric, cute, scary, and amusing. The backgrounds are stunning and filled with life and motion. What really makes Finding Nemo unique is the whole fishy setting. If I had to rank it among the other Pixar films, Id place it on par with Monsters Inc. After a long string of hits, they are definitely due for a bomb, but this isnt it. Im a big fan of Pixars films, so I was greatly relieved to see that Finding Nemo was not a stinker. However, Marlin can only find his son if he learns to let go and trust the friends he meets along the way. Together they face the dangers of the ocean including sharks, jellyfish, fishermen, seagulls and more in order to rescue him. Thanks to left behind clues, they know where he is. Dory, a fish with a short-term memory problem, helps him try to find Nemo. Meanwhile, Marlin desperately chases after his son, but soon loses him. Led by Gill, the aquarium fish are trying to make their own escape. Nemo is taken as a pet fish and placed in a dentist office aquarium in Sydney with a variety of other fish. Unfortunately, when Nemo defies his father and sneaks off on his own, hes caught by a diver. Nemo and Marlin love each other, but Nemo has been frustrated by his fathers overprotectiveness. After having lost his wife and most of his kids in a barracuda attack, hes extremely protective of his only surviving son, Nemo.
Marlin is a clown fish living in the Great Barrier Reef off of Australia.
