Finding Nemo 3D is now out on DVD, and let me tell you… it is SO worth seeing!! I had the opportunity to review this movie as part of the Disney In Home Bloggers trip that I attended in California this summer, and it was like seeing if for the first time.
I have loved the movie Finding Nemo since before I had children, however, I must admit, I think I began to love it for different reasons once I had children of my own, and it quickly became one of our “favorites”. We have probably watched Finding Nemo 100 times together over the past 7 years … and we have countless Nemo books and characters around here.
So, to be honest, when I attended the screening, I wasn’t expecting to be too moved by the 3D version of Finding Nemo. I was actually a bit concerned about maybe feeling like I was watching it for the 100th time (which kind of, I was!) However, it was amazing to me that this actually seemed like an entirely new movie. I mean, it was the same movie…… but different. The ocean was brighter, deeper, the shadows were darker and the water movement was, for lack of a better word, “realer”. When you watch this movie in 3D it is almost like an underwater experience. The ocean comes to life, and the movement of the characters is amazing. It feels like you are right there with them, moving along the EAC. You know, the Eastern Australian Current? Yeah… the EAC. Awesome dude!
One of my favorite characters in Finding Nemo is Dory. Her personality just cracks me up and I love her simple (and very forgetful) outlook on life. Despite everything, she is always positive and always looks at the bright side of things. One of my favorite part of Finding Nemo is when Marlin is dwelling on not {over}protecting Nemo:
Marlin says, “I promised I’d never let anything happen to him.” Dory responds, “Hmm. That’s a funny thing to promise. You can’t never let anything happen to him. Then nothing would ever happen to him. Not much fun for little Harpo.”
From the very first time that I watched this movie, this part really moved me. Such a strong message, and it is one of my favorite lines from all of the Disney movies that I have seen. A great reminder about parenting and life in general.
Here is one of my favorite scenes from this movie…it reminds me of taking my own kids to kindergarten for the first time:
