As for Finding Nemo, it's easily the movie of the year to date. Amazing how funny, exciting, moving and ingenious these Pixar films can be, when compared to your run-of-the-mill cartoon fare. It's also a catalog of visual wonders, and best of all, it manages to tell an involving, suspenseful story without resorting to easy cartoon villains. Many animated movies, I realize now, are pretty lazy when it comes to establishing senselessly evil or stupid characters just to drive the plot along; here, with the exception of one alarming human child (who is more a force of nature than anything else), the characters are brave, decent fish trying to do the right thing. It's a movie I'd be proud to take my own children to see.
