I've no idea how Ian Hamet at Banana Oil will react, or Reflections in d minor's Lynn Sislo, or any of the other culture bloggers at 2 Blowhards or ac douglas. But I enjoyed Finding Nemo last night. The story is well-told, the actors' voices are good fits to the characters they portrayed (especially Ellen DeGeneres and Willem Dafoe), and the animation is superb.
The only down side for me, and longtime readers of The Anger of Compassion will sympathize, was the small bit of simple, spoken French at one point, which I missed entirely. That really Gauls me...
I was going to post on this tomorrow, actually.
The executive summary: I liked it, but wanted to love it. It was a good, tender story, but brutally paced, which I felt did not serve the story well.
My four favorite bits: Krush (Toootally!); Whalespeak; the depiction of a rumor taking flight (er, swim); and what the fish in the tank do to pass their time.
