Review: I'm a lifelong fan of animation. I have grown with the
cartoons as we were brought into a world of more serious storylines, ala
Batman: the Animated Series in the 1990s, but nothing could prepare me
for what Pixar was going to bring to Disney. Their films are full of
depth, well produced and authentic characters, as well as the
exploration of very serious themes like life, death, abandonment, our
place in the world, etc. They really give their audiences, children and
adults alike, respect through their real storytelling. Finding Nemo
was a film that I didn't intially think I would be interested in when it
came out, until I saw the magic of Pixar bring the ocean to life. I
find it easy to forget that I'm watching an animated feature! If any
Pixar was just dying to have a 3D transfer it was this one! The film is
charming as ever and is really brought to life with the addition of
3D! The movie is gorgeous in high-definition, which you can get in the
standard 2D blu-ray that is included in the set. This set gives fans a
ton of special features, including interviews, artwork and in-depth
looks at the making of the film. This is the ultimate collector's pack
for Nemo and we cannot recommend it enough. Add this one to your
library today!
