I saw Finding Nemo!

Post by Maerj »

:D Yes, I got to see it this evening! I won't provide any spoilers, because I am not into that. Let me start by saying THIS MOVIE ROCKS! Perfection! Everyone loved it, including myself, and I am sure that all of you will too.

It is a fairly simple story with a few suprises, some of which are very dramatic, along the way. Anyone who is afraid that this movie isn't as good as the rest of Pixar's films, well you can relax!

Be sure to stay until after the credits are done. No out-takes, but there is some fun stuff that you won't want to miss.

The voice actors are all dead on perfect. The backgrounds are getting more and more realistic, almost to the point where they don't even look animated anymore. Albert Brooks was great as the Nemo's father, BUT the standout is definitely Ellen DeGeneres as Dori. She is simply the most consistantly funny character in this film. She is the one you'll be talking about after you walk out of this one.

This is a great film with a lotta heart. I recommend it VERY highly! :lol:

Heh - when I left work the crowds for the sneak peek were really startin' to accumulate... glad I got out of there in time. LOL
I took the loser route out for sneak peeks tonight - I watched 2 hours of lame "Planet's Funniest Animals" videos just to catch clips of the film and behind-the-scenes stuff from Pixar - it was that Finding Nemo special aired on Animal Planet. :roll:

Anywho, FN comes as a mixed blessing - I'm really looking forward to seeing it, but working in concessions is gonna suck royally with tons of kids crawling all over the theater... :o
I'm definitely eager to see the latest inspired genius from Pixar, but my fear is that it'll be too good - and the annoying little mites and their Edina soccer moms'll just keep coming and coming. Oy... o_O

But enough of my bitching - that's just a personal scenario. The film looks spectacular, and I can't wait to see it!! :D

You'll love it! Another cool thing is that before the movie they showed the previews for Pixar's next movie The Incredibles (which looks really funny) and the remake of Freaky Friday starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Got to admit, I was a bit skeptical about that one, but the trailer was funny. After that they showed on older short that Pixar made before Toy Story that I am sure everyone will get a kick out of.

Can't wait until August (which is the local release).
Really looking forward to it - although my heart has been broken too many times in the last few weeks with movie anticipation, so I'll try not to get too excited.
Sounds good.

Its best to see the trailer fresh, so you can enjoy the suprise, but if you really want to know what happens in the trialer for Pixar's next movie, The Incredibles, scroll down.







This way....







Just about there...




The Incredibles trailer begins with our hero, Mr. Incredible, getting ready in front of the mirror. There is memorabilia of his heroic exploits adorning his wall. He here's a voice call him to breakfast. His red costume is nearly all on, except for one minor thing: his yellow belt! It seems that Mr. Incredible has put on a lil bit of weight since the 'good ol days' and the rest of the trailer involves him trying many different ways to get this item around his waist. Funny stuff. This def looks to be a wacky spoof on superheroes and most likely another hit for Pixar.

Well, I'm glad to hear that Finding Nemo is good. Hopefully, I'll agree with you that its up there with the best of 'em.

As for the Incredibles, I hate to say it, but it sounds an awful lot like a Disney Channel original movie called "Up Up And Away" about a family of super-heros. I hope Disney didn't rip this off of Pixar, or visa versa (the first is more likely, IMO)

Well, goofy or inept superheros is nothing new. The guy who made Ren & Stimpy had a show that was on Adult Swim for a while called The Ripping Friends. But even though it has been done before, I think that Pixar will give it it's own spin.

Hey I saw Finding Nemo; a couple of weeks ago at a sneak preview. It was awesome :lol: not only is it a laugh riot, it has ALL the elements of a really good story. Like A bugs life the color and attention to detail will blow you away, voices right on!!!!! music excellant. The australianisms are quite amusing and natural not at all forced like some american australian films. I saw it with an australian audiance who were in fits of laughter the whole time! I cant praise it highly enough!!!!
