A classic

I remember it very well, when this movie was released, it was pretty huge. Back then, I went to see the damned thing with my father in the movie theater and I thought it was just really neat that I was with him but I'm not sure if he had the same experience. Anyway, I really loved this flick. Back in those days, it seemed that those guys from Pixar had decided to blow us away every time again and every feature they produced was better than the previous one. It's too bad they didn't manage to extend this miraculous hot streak but I guess they are human after all. Visually, after more than a decade, it remains one of their greatest achievement. I mean, the sea life was just gorgeous to look at and it was a great move to have the action take place in Australia for once. But, obviously, as always with Pixar, it went way beyond the impressive visuals as it is a strong and emotional tale about a father looking for his lost son and even though it might all sound pretty simple and predictable, they took their time to build some fully fledged characters and, at some point, you can't help caring for those damned fishes. Basically, it is a gorgeous animated feature with a great story, touching and entertaining at the same time and it is definitely worth a look.
