A visual marvel, every frame packed to the gills with clever details, Finding Nemo is the best big-studio release so far this year.

Terrific-looking and sweet, it's certainly up to the superior standard Pixar has set for prime family entertainment.

I was swept up in its dazzling stream of rainbow corals, amused by the stoner turtles going with the flow, sharks battling their own regressive instincts and DeGeneres' scatterbrained Dory.

After four Pixar features under their belts, it is painfully easy to see the clichés emerging.

Brilliantly conceived Pixar movie is loaded with family values, albeit the salt water variety.

The creators are cracking themselves up first, the way the Warner Bros. animators did in Bugs Bunny's golden age; it works for anyone with a sense of humor.

It's all tremendously entertaining stuff, with oodles of wonderful detail and superb direction by Andrew Stanton.

As the voice of the forgetful Dory, Ellen DeGeneres shows us how Memento could have been a comedy in this entertaining and visually stunning family flick.

Each obstacle is a fabulous set piece with not-always-obvious lessons to be learned and smart, original humor.

If it’s not quite a tidal wave of entertainment, it’s a welcome dip in the ocean nonetheless.

It's a whale of a tale that's well worth catching. Even if fish isn't usually your dish.

Another gem, a deeply affecting, stunningly animated father-son fish story that features the first onscreen Pixar dad, and actually focuses on the parent-child relationship.
