Enjoying Finding Nemo

I watched "Finding Nemo" over the weekend, and surprisingly found it quite entertaining. The New Yorker gave it a lukewarm, almost hostile, review, something to the effect that a fish becomes expressive only when it hits the grill, but i found it a rollicking good fun. The story revolves around the heroic adventures of Marlin, a non-amusing clown fish who sees his young son, Nemo, borne off in a diver's net. Unfazed by the threat of both sharks and taking on a whole colony of stinging jellyfish, Marlin sets off to rescue his only child.

The most entertaining character is that of Dory, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, a cheerfully blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss, who accompanied Marlin to Sydney to rescue Nemo from a dentist's aquarium. DeGeneres is simply a delight! watch Finding Nemo to know what i mean. A New York Times review of the movie is available here.
