Finding Nemo
About the only thing the Walt Disney Company can do reliably anymore is let its Pixar division do its thing. Left to their own devices, the whizzes at Pixar produce a computer-animated film every couple years that is as funny, clever and charming as anything within its field of competition. Their streak, which has thus far included the "Toy Story" films, "A Bug's Life" and "Monsters Inc.," continues with "Finding Nemo," a whimsical undersea adventure that, like its predecessors, is both simple and nuanced, hiding deep themes beneath colorful layers of guileless entertainment. Disney films have single-parent families, of course, and that trend is not bucked here. Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks), a small clownfish somewhere in the Pacific, is the nervous, overprotective father of young Nemo (Alexander Gould).
