From Norway, Koola looks at FINDING NEMO!
Hey folks, Harry here - Tomorrow night I check this baby out, but unfortunately I won't be able to take Kublakhan to the preview screening, cuz I didn't get enough passes... which is a shame, cuz as it is, he watches and points at my computer monitor to say, "Fish! Shark! Nemo dada! Dory! Shark Mean! Zombie Fish!" Yup, he understands it all! hehe... Anyway, I'll try to get my review in for you all late late tonight, I have to shoot some episodes for my SKY MOVIES NEWS show that begins in late June in the UK after the screening, so till later... Here's Koola...
Hey Harry!
So... I had the chance to see FINDING NEMO last night, and thought I'd send you my thoughts.
I'm a Pixar-fan. Been excited about them (as almost every other fanboy around) since... well, Toy Story. And I looked forward to NEMO with great anticipation.
And what a great ride it was. Again the vivid imagination and brilliant storytelling of the Pixar-crew comes to life, and with graphics even better than (ever) before, the visuals of NEMO almost turned out to be the most captivating. Not that the script lacks anything, it is a well-written father/son-roadmovie thingee with superb supporting characters (the blue memoryloss sidekick being my ABSOLUTE favourite). But with such amazing.. no, STUNNING, images to look at it's almost as if you don't need a fascinating story. But then you do, and the Great Sea-documentary-fascination with the images of this film turn into a moving, compelling film about a father who is over-protective, a son who needs to be allowed to live, and great friendship between fish (and sharks, and pelicans), who are not at all meant to all that friendly to each other. But the search for NEMO binds them all together.
I don't want to compare this to previous Pixar-films, because I can't separate them. They are all brilliant, and NEMO deserves as big an audience as the TS-films and MONSTERS INC.
The voicetalent is remarkable, though me not being able to identify them all, shrinks my ability to give proper credit. No time for IMDb today.
You'll all probably see NEMO anyway, so this'll probably just be a tease. I certainly recommend it. And I want to add something as well... not all norwegians are whalehunters.
Loved the whale in NEMO, and the film itself;
Koola
