In the movie Finding Nemo a clown fish dad losses his son when he tries to go touch the butt of the boat on a dare. The dad must go and find his son Nemo and on he’s way he meets new fish and animals. One of the fishes he meets along the way is Dory voice of Ellen DeGeneres. Dory is an interesting fish let’s say, she does not really remember thing all that well. Ellen does a great job of doing the voice. I think Ellen did a great job because to being Ellen is very funny person and her just doing this part is great! Dory is what makes the movie funny in part and with the help of Ellen’s humor it’s just great. One of the characters that has a big part in the film and kind of changes throughout the movie would be Marlin played by Albert Brooks. How Marlin changes throughout the movie is at the being he is very protecting of his son Nemo. One of the reasons why is because Nemo only has one good fin which makes him not swim so well. By the end of the movie Marlin lightens up a bit, but I will let you figure out how. One of the themes in the movie would have to be friendship. Why I say friendship is a theme is because look at Marlin and Dory from the outside they look like they would never be friends because of the way they act. For example, Marlin is so protective over his son and himself where Dory forgets stuff and likes to have fun. But they go one this journey to find Nemo and with their different personalities they become the greatest of friends. I would say that Finding Nemo is worth your time to watch. Its funny but also serious at times, and kids of all ages love the movie! –Allyson S.
