Item of note: I just saw the Pixar film, Finding Nemo this weekend and all I have to say is that those computer guys and artists at Pixar sure know how to make a movie. Not only was it fresh with characterization, visually stunning, and gripping, it was funny as well. I'd say that a certain large-scale animation studio may have a thing or two to learn from the commitment to character Pixar has shown. It's not just about a formulaic setting, and some throwaway visuals, it's about a protaganist you can identify with and sympathize with. Not only that, but the theme was a little less heavy-handed than you would believe. Accessible to both children and adults alike, Nemo is a film I urge everyone to go out and see if they're going to see any movie at all this summer. You won't be disappointed.
