                        The first time I knew that “Finding Nemo” movie is about under the sea life, I was so afraid, I promise myself, I’ll not see that movie. Yeah I admit that I’m a Thalassophobia. But finally I watched the movie. One day, I saw my sister watching movie, the scene was beautiful scenery of under the sea. It was so light, cheerful, and colorful. And it was “Finding Nemo” !!!. I didn’t expect that under sea life so amazing and lively. I always think under the sea life would be scary, spooky, and dark. And it made me wanted to watch it till the end.

                        Alright, the movie is about a daddy clown fish named Marlin who is looking for his son, Nemo. Nemo is caught by an Australian diver whom lately as a dentist. Marlin’s struggle in search of his son is helped by Dory, his new best friend. In his way to find the dentist address, he faces with many thing. There’re sharks, jelly fish, whale, sea turtle and other sea creatures. Meanwhile, in dentist’s office, Nemo is making friend with other fish prisoner in the tank. They plan a way out for Nemo and themselves. Before the dentist’s niece, Darla, comes. Darla is a girl who loves to shake the plastic bag with a fish inside. In the end of the story, Nemo meets his daddy and his friend can escape from the tank.

                        This movie amazed me. The combination of the animation, the characters, and the story is making a perfect blend. I love the friendship between Marlin and Dori with their never give up effort to find Nemo. It educates since there’re a lot of fact about sea. It also states that doing something together with partners is easier rather than alone.

                        Even though, it’s a kids movie, the parents should accompany their kids when watch the movie. There’re some scenes which include death, separation, violence, and bullying. The parents should explain that those things are not appropriate in a real life.

                        Overall, I suggest you to watch this movie. It’s so entertain and light yet meaningful. If you like an adventure animation movie, this must be on your list. In my opinion, “Finding Nemo” is a masterpiece from Pixar. It’s highly recommended !
