You could trawl the seven seas and not net a funnier, more beautiful, and more original work of art and comedy than Finding Nemo.

This time the dad is the hero of the story, although in most animation it is almost always the mother.

Finding Nemo and its Pixar predecessors tap into the shared gene among the kids and adults that delights in imagination-engaging, eye-tickling and wit-filled storytelling. You connect to these sea creatures as you rarely do with humans in big-screen adventures. The result: a true sunken treasure.

Summer hasn't even started, but you won't likely find a better catch this season than Finding Nemo, a dazzling, computer-animated fish tale with a funny, touching script and wonderful voice performances that make it an unqualified treat for all ages.

It has what the most heartfelt Disney animated features used to have: rapturous imagery matched with real wit.

I don't think we're going to see a better--a funnier or more genuinely heartwarming, for that matter--comedy this year.

Pixar's employees, masters of computer-generated animation, capture the look of the ocean like no artists before.

The movie's generosity of spirit and artistry swamps its flaws.

It's the filmmakers' refusal to sugarcoat their tale's darker subtexts that makes Finding Nemo such a resounding piece of storytelling.
