I loved this movie when I was 4! It was the best movie in the world to me before! I would reccommend this to toddlers.

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?

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????
