There have been a lot of Pixar films made over the years and perhaps many will believe that some are better than others, perhaps even better than Finding Nemo. However, this is my blog post and i'll do what I want with it. This movie is perfect in my mind and I am entertained every time i watch it.

There are many reasons why i think this is the perfect move but I am sure all of you out there in internet land have already seen it and have your own reasons for loving this movie (I would honestly be surprised if anyone hated this film) but my major reasons are this.

• The comedy is funny for kids and adults but often for different reasons
• Dory

Take the turtles for example. A child likely has very little idea about surfer culture or about pot-heads (I'm not suggesting all surfers are potheads - i surf, i do not smoke weed) but kids still find these guys funny well, because they are funny. However, an adult watching this movie with their kids also think it is funny because we have likely all met someone who was a bit scatter-brained from excessive green.

There is also the "get off my lawn" fish that the children fish are always messing with. The sea-world version of doorbell ditching a neighbor. Harmless, but funny.

And then we move on to Dory who is likely one of the most lovable characters in any film, ever. Dory as I am sure you know, has terrible memory but is generally very kind. It is just hilarious how she forgets who Marlin is despite the fact that she met him just moments before.

She is also makes friends with just about anyone and everyone that she meets and perhaps this speaks to me because I have a friend who is extremely (sometimes annoyingly) aloof but befriends almost anyone immediately because of her genuine kindness.

Her companion, Marlin (Nemo's Dad) gets frustrated with Dory because he is more logical and doesn't believe in things unless there is a reason to do so, he is also a pessimist and tends to think that people who act "dumb" cant be trusted to know anything useful. I know people like Marlin as I tend to show more of his characteristics than Dory's. So this movie actually taught me something. Sometimes you need to "just keep swimming." haha

Overall this movie should appeal to everyone. I have seen this movie I dunno how many times and anytime I am around kids I will put this on if i have it. They are just as entertained as I am despite the fact they have almost certainly seen it dozens of times as well. It is, in my mind, one of the most perfect movies ever made. Feel free to disagree, but I would love to know why you feel that way if you do.
