Our critics sat down to talk about the Disney/Pixar adventure 'Finding Nemo,' the Week 6 winner in the Ultimate Summer Movie Showdown.
— I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see this week’s crown go to a movie I could watch with my 3-year-old. Then I actually sat down and watched “Finding Nemo” with my 3-year-old and found myself covering her eyes in the first five minutes, so as to spare her the sight of a hungry barracuda wiping out a defenseless family of clownfish, save the dad, Marlin, and one poor unhatched larva named Nemo.
Mary and Glenn, I’m eager to dive into this one with you, not just because “Finding Nemo” is a great family movie, but it’s also a pretty great movie about family. I haven’t been a parent as long as you both have, but this was my first time rewatching the film through a dad’s eyes, and it’d be silly of me to pretend it didn’t play differently this time — more harrowing, and more humbling too. Marlin may fail in the dad-joke department, but he is nevertheless the ultimate helicopter parent.
Usually the story of a missing child is told from either the vantage of the searching parent or the child trying to get home . “Finding Nemo” does both. Nemo learns to respect limits and Marlin learns not to be controlled by them.
