“The comedy that is a part of Finding Nemo is so fresh, confident, clear of its own uniqueness, and without the sweet, saccharine sexiness that pervades the majority of family comedy that you must be wondering what is it about Pixar technology that spurs the creators to be ingenious.” Stephen Holden, The New York Times.
