These two films only go on for 100 minutes but it’s just short enough to keep the kids watching it without falling asleep. Finding Nemo strongly makes itself a family film, rather than the usually awful films you take the family to.
Through a horrible event, Nemo (Alexander Gould) loses his mum and 499 of his siblings leaving only his father Marlin (Albert Brooks), a worrying clown fish, who over-protects his son from the many dangers hidden in the Great Barrier Reef. In an act of revolution, Nemo swims past the reef's "drop off," where he's caught by a scuba-diving dentist, who puts Nemo inside a fish aquarium.
Although Marlin knows nothing about his son's doom, he is strong-minded to find him, no matter how rough the waters ahead may be. The nervous clown fish starts on the journey of a lifetime, in hope of rescuing his child. In a stroke of luck when Marlin meets up with a blue tang fish named Dory (Ellen Degeneres), who saw the direction of the dentist boat was heading in. The bad thing with Dory is that she has next to no short-term memory; therefore she can get things wrong so she doesn't really remember which way the boat was going

    Nemo is a great movie for children. Yes, there are some deeper meanings within the movie, but most likely children haven’t learned those deeper meanings and are just enjoying a movie about a lost fish. It sends a good message that a father will go thought many difficult obstacles to find his son. It also shows a single dad trying hard to raise his son. Being overprotective of his son, Marlin overcame his fear and swam miles and oceans to find Nemo. Despite Dory’s mental illness, Marlin came to accept Dory for who she really was and Nemo already accepted her for who she was when he met her and this really shows true friendship because they were able to overlook her disability. When Nemo was captured by the diver, he was put into a fish tank with other fish. These fish are from all different places and they all had different experiences, with one common goal: they wanted to get out of the fish tank and into the ocean. They accepted Nemo, after an initiation, and they worked together to find their way out of the fish tank. Although Bruce, the great white shark, tried to eat Dory and Marlin, in the end they all became good friends and he even protects Nemo when he goes back to school. While they are in the trench, Dory tells Marlin to “just keep swimming” and this can be a great life lesson. It teaches kids perseverance.…

    I feel that the emotional connection that people make with a film is, in most cases, an extremely important quality that directors can emphasize on in /their work. Whether it is a realistic movie that is based off of a true story, or a children's Disney movie, anyone can experience a sense of a character's point of view. Depending on the type of film (horror, suspense, comedy, drama, etc.), this emotional connection can vary among different people. In a classic Disney film such as Bambi, children can relate to Bambi. They can easily understand the type of experiences that he goes through such as…
