Whatever you do, don't show her Bambi!

Personally, I think 2 & 3 year olds are too young to be taken to movies to begin with, but I can imagine that you were under a lot of pressure to take her. Unfortunately, once young children get scared or are upset by a scene they're prone to crying throughout the feature, thus spoiling the film for other patrons. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that it would probably be better to introduce children to the cinema at 4 to 6 years of age; by then they should be old enough to understand what they're seeing and it will leave a more lasting impression.

As far as Finding Nemo is concerned, the plot and pacing seemed perfectly fine to me and the dialogue was snappy, even clever in places. As with other Pixar films, Nemo never insults the audience's intelligence regardless of age, but my guess is that any film that conveys sophisticated ideas, such as the trauma of parental loss, through symbolism, such as likeable talking animated animals, is best appreciated by older kids and adults.
