Well, I guess that we'll just have to disagree on this one.

I'm of the viewpoint that "Finding Nemo" will become a classic for the ages, as has been the case with the two Toy Story movies released by Pixar Studios; Nemo is a true gem! As an adult I appreciate it when an animated film doesn't 1) bore, 2) play down to the expectations of it's target audience or 3) resort to gross humor intended to make kids giggle and adults wince. At the same time, the film's producers have wisely taken into account the sophistication of modern audiences (i.e., kids of ALL ages) in regards to both writing and pacing rather than focusing just on the mind-set of very young children.

BTW, "Finding Nemo" is neither "Friday the 13th" nor typical Disney fare! Disney, which distributes Pixar films, doesn't own controling interest. Pixar Studios, through the concerted efforts of Steve Jobs, has striven to remain independent of Disney and has demonstrated more savvy at endearing itself to the public than the Mickey Mouse studio of today! I'm basing my assessment on the quality of films Disney has churned out in recent years.

The most troubling aspect of posting my impressions is that I've apparently found myself in complete agreement with Clark Johnsen on this topic! As I recall, in "Ghostbusters" Bill Murray has a great one-off line about *dogs & cats living together* to do with strange occurances during the coming apocolypse that seems to apply here! :o)

Cheers,

PS: Now I can hardly wait for the "Finding Nemo" DVD! Out Christmas, perhaps?
