Not much fun for little Harpo." -

Why watch this?
Another home run for Pixar. It's creative, funny, warm, and inspirational.
Plot Summary:
Marlin, a highly protective clownfish, embarks on a journey
across the ocean to rescue his adventurous son, Nemo, after he
is taken by a diver. Marlin teams up with Dory, a friendly but
forgetful fish, and together they navigate a vast and perilous

find his own way back home from a fish tank in a dentist's
office.

Dad's Preview:
This film is just so darn heartfelt. We quickly grow to
love our adorably cute, damaged main characters. We likewise fall for each
creature encountered along the journey - be them friendly sharks,
surfer-dude sea turtles, stingy seagulls, or a group of
tank-imprisoned
fish called the "Tank Gang". Ellen Degeneres is
hilarious as Dory,
a lovable regal blue tang fish with short-term memory loss. Dive into the tank
and enjoy the fun. "Shark bait! Ooh, Ha-Ha!" |
