disney movie countdown Day 26 - Finding Nemo

In anticipation of my approaching honeymoon, my wife and I have embarked on a quest to watch one Disney movie a day until we leave. In an attempt to get back to writing again, I will be sharing my brief thoughts on each movie.

We began yesterday with Finding Nemo. When this movie first came out, I think I saw it 6 times in the theater. It was the summer after high school graduation, and I have some fond memories of seeing this movie with friends that I would soon lose touch with. In a similar way, I felt that my fondness for this movie had grown a little distant. It's still a very well made movie, and I still love the humor, but rewatching it, 8 years separated from my initial reaction, I found the pacing to be a little forced and choppy, and the movie feels like it drags a lot after the jellyfish sequence. It was a little weird to be dissappointed in what was once one of my all time favorite movies, but oh well. I will still be anxiously awaiting the blu-ray edition so I can enjoy the gorgeous animation in high-def! that's all for today. wow, I CAN keep a blog post short! Go Me! 7.5/10
