In this seamless blending of technical brilliance and storytelling verve, the Pixar team has made something as marvelously soulful and innately, fluidly American as jazz.

Nemo, with its ravishing underwater fantasia, manages to trump the design glamour of earlier Pixar films.
A visual marvel, every frame packed to the gills with clever details, Finding Nemo is the best big-studio release so far this year.
Time Out
Top CriticI 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.
A thing of beauty, hugely entertaining and way cool.
| Original Score: 3.5/4
Finding Nemo is terrific entertainment.
It turns out that Pixar does fish like nobody does fish.
A captivating and richly resonant aquatic fable, with characters whose gills and fins belie their deliciously human (that is, flawed) personalities.
Finding Nemo will engross kids with its absorbing story, brightly drawn characters and lively action, and grown-ups will be equally entertained by the film's subtle humor and the sophistication of its visuals.
The visuals pop, the fish emote and the ocean comes alive. That's in the first two minutes. After that, they do some really cool stuff.

One of those rare movies where I wanted to sit in the front row and let the images wash out to the edges of my field of vision.

Finding Nemo isn't quite up there with the company's finest work -- there's finally a sense of formula setting in -- but it's hands down the best family film since Monsters, Inc.

Add water and you have an instant Disney/Pixar classic.
A vivid charmer of a movie that makes a welcome addition to the growing gallery of computer-generated animated features.
| Original Score: B+
One of the strongest releases from Disney in years, thanks to the work of Andrew Stanton, possibly one of the most successful directors you've never heard of.

Enchanting; written with an effortless blend of sweetness and silliness, and animated with such rainbow-hued beauty, you may find yourself wanting to freeze-frame it.

Constantly delights and refreshes the eye -- it's a summer vacation in itself.
A dazzling, computer-animated fish tale with a funny, touching script and wonderful voice performances that make it an unqualified treat for all ages.

A simple test of humanity: If you don't laugh aloud while watching it, you've got a battery not a heart.

As we now expect from Pixar, even the supporting fish in "Finding Nemo" are more developed as characters than any human in the Mission: Impossible movies.

As eye-popping as Nemo's peepers and as eccentric as this little fish with asymmetrical fins.

Parental anxiety may not be the kind of stuff children's films are usually made of, but this perfectly enchanting movie knows how to cater to its kiddie audience without condescending to them.

The underwater backdrops take your breath away. No, really. They're so lifelike, you almost feel like holding your breath while watching.

Proves that even when Pixar is not at the top of its game, it still produces better animation than some of its competitors on their best days.
You connect to these sea creatures as you rarely do with humans in big-screen adventures. The result: a true sunken treasure.

It's full of bright visuals, inventive animation and enough cute characters to fill, well, an ocean.

| Original Score: B
It's the give-and-take between DeGeneres and Brooks that gives the saga its big heart.
It's an ocean of eye candy that tastes fresh even in this ADD-addled era of SpongeBob SquarePants.
