Just Keep Swimming!
I remember watching this movie when I was little. I always liked it, and I still do. It's a great and fun movie with some positive role models: Marlin is a loving father who cares deeply for his son Nemo, and will not rest until he finds Nemo when he is taken away by divers. Dory is a good friend and helps when she can. However, there are many scary parts that younger kids may be frightened by: There's a barracuda at the beginning that ends up killing Nemo's mother and almost all of her eggs. There are sharks who, at first claim to be friendly with the fish, but end up attacking (no characters are hurt, though the chase scene is very intense). There's also a swarm of jellyfish that end up leaving a character fatally wounded. There's a Deep Sea Anglerfish ("Light Fish") who attacks (again, the characters get away unharmed). One part that is iffy is that a whale, at one part in the movie, mistakenly swallows up two characters; some kids may find this scary (I was always terrified, and still am, at this part, but I have cetaphobia). As you can see, there are many frighting scenes in the movie. Language is okay, though there is some name calling. Overall, this is a good movie, but note, for young and sensitive children, you may want to skip the scary parts. I rate this movie 3 stars. :)

One of my fave movies as a kid!
I loved this movie as a kid! I would watch this like, 24/7! The part where the shark smells the blood and attacks scared me as a kid. Same with the part where a light ends up being this scary fish (I forget what it's called) and he attacks as well. But I still loved it. Warning: This movie may scare children under the age of 8 years.

Find Nemo For A Good Time!
A father and son comedy with some mild peril. Children may be upset by the death of Nemo's mother. It's a sad scene that may even make sensitive parents tear up. Some scenes with Bruce going on a fish eating rampage may scare preschoolers, but very much a safe movie for the whole family. Watch it with children, or even by yourself.

Good movie - sort of like it.
So so movie. Ignore Merlin's (Merlin is Nemo's dad) language because it is not very good.

I noticed product placement
I have seen Buzz Lightyear in one scene of the movie, Some sharks may be scary for young kids, almost as scary as monsters inc. but I was not scared of this movie and I loved it! Good movie! I used to watch it but some scenes scared me when I was little. Not much of a deal, Loved it!!!!!!

Fish are Friends, not Food!
There's something wonderful about animation. The story of a father seeking his lost son is touching, and wonderful. And there are a ton of great one liners. xD Although there are some scary moments, I think that most kids won't be bothered by it-- this is a very family friendly movie, and like all pixar films, will not disappoint.

a good fishy tale for younger viewers.
the movie overall was fine and almost earned a PG rateing for some scenes with intense peril but overall pritty good. I recomend it to kids ages 3-10. (but at age 2-3 there is some iffy stuff like peril and scary situations)

Hey Mr. Grumpy Gills! When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming!
I love this movie, I have since it came out when I was a third grader, one of my absolute favorites, I don't care that I am sixteen, I love this movie. Fine for kids, sharks may appear scary, but are humorous

very funny and very good animation
a dentist kidnaps a young fish just starting school and takes him home to give to his daughter darla, a untrustworthy, fish killer.so his dad, marlin, sets out on an adventure to find his son with short-term memory, dumb fish, dori. scary for ages 3 & under espially where they meet the sharks, get stuck in the jellyfish,where all the baby eggs were eaten except for nemo, and when nemo is kidnapped. great movie from the makers of toy story and the lion king. tell your 4-year old kids they'll love it! my dad's favorite animation, like totally. it's a great movie and my second favorite animation of all time. SO AWESOME!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!

No No for Nemo
This would be downright scary for little kids. The movie needs to be PG for everything scary about.

Just Keep Swimming!
This the best example of Pixar's ability to produce a spectacular family film, that not only my family loves, but over 9 million people love (true fact!)! This is one of the best animated motion pictures created. The whole film is just flawless, and the animation is stunning. And I absolutely love Ellen as Dory! This a must see film!
