This a loveable romantic comedy, enjoyable for ages 12+. I love this film because it is fun and it's filled with funny but likeable characters and it left me feeling pleasantly content.

Finding Nemo Trailer

Finding Nemo is a tale which follows the comedic and eventful journeys of two fish, the fretful clown fish Marlin, is overly cautious with his young son Nemo who has a foreshortened fin, When Nemo swims too close to the surface to prove himself, he is caught by a diver and thrust into a fish tank in a dentist's office overlooking Sydney Harbour and horrified Marlin must set out to find him buoyed by the companionship of a friendly blue reef fish dory (who has a really short term memory), joins Marlin and complicates the encounters with sharks, jellyfish, and a host of ocean dangers in order to find Nemo . Meanwhile, the young Nemo plots a few of his own daring plans to escape from a dentist's fish tank.

I like this family friendly animated film because it was my favourite childhood film to watch and I still love it now. This movie is funny and full with loveable characters for all ranges of viewers, yet the film also has lots of life lessons incorporated within in it, such as letting children taking risks even if they have disabilities (like Nemo’s small fin).
