My whole family loved it and my grandchildren looked at me and said granny that's why you told us not to go anywhere without a grown up being with us because you don't wont anyone to take us and their mom and dad told them yes.But i think it also shows everyone that even though you have a handicap don't let it stop you from doing what you wont to do that you can make something with your life.

What Parents Need to Know
About Finding Nemo
Parents need to know that even though there are no traditional bad guys in this movie, there are still some very scary moments, including creatures with zillions of sharp teeth, an apparent death of a major character, and many tense scenes with characters in peril. At the beginning of the movie, Marlin's wife and all but one of their eggs are eaten by a predator. There is a little potty humor. The issue of Nemo's stunted fin is handled exceptionally well -- matter-of-factly but frankly.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how parents have to balance their wish to protect their children from being hurt (physically or emotionally) with the need to let them grow up and learn how to take care of themselves. They could talk about Nemo's disability and about everyone has different abilities that make some things easier for each of us to do than for most people and some things harder. How do you know what your abilities are, and what do you do to make the most of them?

- Excessive violence
My daughter has seen most of this movie at least a dozen times and we still skip over the scariest part at the beginning, but she now enjoys all of the rest of the film and its one of her favorites. As a father, I love this film, it really captures some of my emotions over the conflict between keeping my kids safe but encouraging them to confident and enjoy life.

Ocean adventure with no 2 yr old fright.
This is one of about 6 movies I would show to a 2 yr old. At 2, they are too young to understand that sharks are scary. The shark scene is pretty short and mild. This is one of my go-to movies on sick days.

Definitely not my favourite pixar movie. I find it hard to care for these characters. Not much of a story, it's exactly what the title suggests. It's a fish finding his son. Hmmm...

An excellent movie!
This movie is really great! I enjoyed it a lot! Even my grandma and grandpa watched all of it! (And that's saying a lot!) There are a few iffy spots, like *SPOILERS!* A great white shark in rehab becoming a fish eating machine after smelling some on-screen blood (he has good values in the end). A Barracuda in the beginning of the movie eats marlins wife and all but one of his eggs. A Diver comes up suddenly, with little warning and will probably startle some viewers and creep little tots out. *END SPOILERS* All in all, This is a great family movie to watch again and again!

A movie totally appropriate for kids.
The only thing I would say bad about this movie is it's kind of tiring about watching it a few times, there's some violence with sharks, and Nemo tells his dad that he hates him, but at the end, he takes it back.

It's alright for my 2 year old
My 2 year old loves it. There are some scary parts that spook him but he loves watching this movie. It's also educational because it talks about the ocean at times. He loves to act like Bruce the shark. I guess it all depends on the child.

Great for 4+, iffy for 2-3y/o. You have to know your child. If your child isn't phased by things with sharp teeth chasing main characters, go for it.

The mother dies and nemo is abducted. The first 15 minutes is terrifying for a little kid. I do NOT recommend this movie for anyone under 5.

Scariness
I bought the tape when I was little and freaked out over the sharks. My dad had to come in and calm me down. That doesn't happen anymore, though. Anyway, THIS MOVIE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooooooo sweet!
This movie is very sweet, and is a great role model for kids. Sure, they're talking fish. But Kids can learn a lot of great lessons from it. And besides, its pixar. What can you expect????
