Pixar has come out with their fair share of decent movies, but I would personally say Finding Nemo is by far the best one out there. Not only does the film have amazing editing and animation, it still uses a variety of camera angles, lighting, and sound to its advantages.
Finding Nemo is about a little fish named Nemo, and his father Marlin. Marlin is very protective of Nemo because Nemo is the only child he has left after his wife and all their eggs were eaten by a much larger fish (and from the accident nemo has a smaller fin on one side, they call it his "lucky fin"). Marlin doesn’t want to let Nemo go to school because he thinks Nemo isn’t ready for it, but he finally caves in and lets Nemo go. Nemo and his class go out to the reef on their first day, and Marlin finds out, freaks and goes to get Nemo. Nemo refuses to go home with his father because his father has embarrassed him in front of all his friends. So Nemo rebels and swims out into open water to touch the "butt" (boat) to prove to his father, and all his new friends that he can do everything everyone else can. But unfortunately he gets caught by a diver, and brought back to a dentist’s office fish tank.
The rest of the movie is the journey Marlin and his friend Dory (whom he meets during his journeys) have trying to find nemo and bring him back home. Throughout the whole movie they use very high tech, and actual animation of deep-sea life, but yet still throw in some old ways to edit the film, such as lighting and camera angles. Most of the film is well lighted, but dark at night so you can tell which is which, just by the coloration of the ocean. They also use a lot of high angle shots when Marlin is feeling down and about ready to give up, and in parts where he’s being threatened by other animals. This movie does a particularly good job on making everything in the ocean they created seem very realistic (which they did mostly by lighting and movement).
Overall this was a very well done movie, with a good story, great animation, and a good lesson to be learned. It is very appropriate for children of all ages, and even parents will find this movie entertaining and "cute". I highly recommend you rent and watch this movie if you haven't already seen it.
