A Movie Worth Seeing

We went to see Finding Nemo today, a Father's Day gift, a few days early, and I am happy to report that the people at Pixar have done it again. Finding Nemo is a very well made and very funny film. I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this movie and was glad to hear that it was quite good. Usually, however, when someone tells me how funny a movie is before I go see it, it always seems to disappoint, not being able to live up to the expectations placed upon it, however unfairly, by me. This movie is the first in a long time to not fall into this trap. I don't often laugh out loud in movie theatres but there were times during this film where I had tears actually streaming out of my eyes as I gafaawed into my fist trying not to laugh so hard that I missed some dialogue. The only drawback that I can think of is that, being used to seeing Pixar animations on DVD on a smaller TV with a very nice picture, the film enlarged to movie screen size seems to lose a bit of the crispness of computer animation. Of course, once it is available on DVD it will be part of our collection and certainly will be seen in all it's glory, over and over again. I highly recommend this picture.
