I don’t what it is about Finding
Nemo, but it’s very depressing, Maybe it’s the colour blue, maybe it’s the fact that the whole story is
sad.
It’s not one of the funniest Pixar ones yet either.
This is IMO.
I think it definitely has its funny moments- Dory really
lightens everything up- but there are some dark undertones and storylines that are dealt with. They still managed
to keep a lot of it quite lighthearted, IMO, but there are certainly parts that make me wanna cry. That’s one of
the key points to most Pixar films though; that rollercoaster of emotions, so to speak.
I prefer to call it
uplifting rather than depressing. This is most certainly one of the best father-son movies ever made. It ranks up
there with other great father-son films like Searching for Bobby Fischer,
Millions, Quiz Show (well, this is sort of a father-son
film), Life is Beautiful, Field of Dreams, and of
course (judging by my screenname), the Star Wars movies.
Ooooh yes it can be sad at times. But Dory does provide
comic relief, as do Bloat, Darla, and the seagulls.
I used to skip the beginning scene so my little boy
wouldn’t see Coral meet her demise.
I really think it’s the
funniest out of the Pixar movies… mainly because of Dory. I think what makes it depressing is that this movie is
dealing with a rather personal and potentially suicidal (lol… probably not… can you imagine little Nemo
committing suicide??) issue. Father and son (or Parent and child) issues can hit on a very Dr. Phil level.
I hope by “used to” you mean
that your letting your kid watch the full movie now.
No offense (and I don’t know your son) but I’d give
the kid the chance to see the death. PIXAR really does do a nice job at respecting the audience (kid & adult
alike) on that they will understand certain moments – like a death (FN), or an oppression (ABL), or a law suit
(TI), or the change in times (Route 66 to I-40/Cars).
I get the feeling that your son was generally
sad/scared the first time he saw Coral die and you didn’t want to cause him anymore disturbing thoughts than
necessary, but I hope that it wasn’t more than that.
Again, this is my opinion on 'dramatic plot
lines," especially if they’re done well, as PIXAR does.
Yeah,
because at the end of the day, Pixar knows that every age range will watch this film, and I think they do manage
to handle those ‘extreme plot lines’ very well, considering.
I’ll go and watch my DVD of it again, and probably realise you guys are right, just in my memory, all I can
remember is the depressing/sad parts.
But of course, I can still remember “just keep swimming”
I don’t think that it is a sad movie. Finding
Nemo has a powerful theme that impacts the viewers that have. The theme clearly states that sooner or later, you
have to let your children go. This is why this is a different mood from other Pixar films.
Yup. Most of the other movies embrace their youth. 
I
don’t have children, I’m 15
Ditto! High five!
HAHA, your 15
too. Cool.
But
it is sad that everyine who will have children will have to face it one day that they have to let their kids
go.
Yeah, it would kinda be like just letting your
dog/cat go even though there is no reason why it can’t keep staying.
Not exactly true. There is a
reason why you have to let your kids go. In the movie, Marlin learns he can’t protect Nemo forever and has to
let his son be independent. Same concept applies with parents and their kids.
Ah, maybe I need to be a parent, I’ll come back to this in about 25 years. HAHA.

I’m 14. 
Finding Nemo was the funniest Pixar movie to date
(because of Dory, of course ), but it was not the best (The Incredibles).
My opinion. (But I can’t
understand that anyone thinks that FN isn’t a funny or even a depressed movie 
)
I watched it again, And I’m talking rubbish haha, it’s really quite good, it’s just I could
only remember the sad parts.
Anyway, I think Cars/Toy Story 1 was the funniest.
I mean, who can
forgot “You done what to a cup” after McQueen mentions the Piston Cup. LMAO.
Yeah some parts were sad but there were also a lot of bits that I found quite hilarious I
dont think it’s that depressing…
