Finding Dory [DVD]

Product Information

The filmmakers could not find an appropriate scene for them that did not slow the pace of the picture, so Gerald's character was minimized. Finding Nemo was advertised as promotional partners on other companies, like Frito-Lay, Keebler, Pepsi, Ralphs, Dreyer's, Jel Sert, Airheads, Orville Redenbacher's and THQ.

The deletions include an alternate opening, an attempt to reuse a moment from the original film, and an encounter with an aquarium "pig" (a foam device used to clean pipes). During an argument over Marlin's overprotectiveness, Nemo defiantly swims to a speedboat and is captured by scuba divers.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The idea for the initiation sequence came from a story conference between Stanton and Bob Peterson while they were driving to record the actors. Happily, the rest of the film is not, keeping us invested with colorful characters and witty dialogue. For a character who has to go on a dangerous journey, Stanton felt a clownfish was the perfect type of fish for the character.

Piper (6:04) is a charming, wordless tale that played before Finding Dory in theaters; the new "Marine Life Interviews" (2:03) catches up with a handful of the supporting characters after their encounters with Dory, and it bears more than a passing resemblance to Aardman's excellent Creature Comforts. They both have clear respect for Nemo's universe and though very few characters from the original movie resurface in any meaningful way, the new additions maintain the sensibilities. The original film's record numbers were in some part due to a gap in the output of the then guaranteed attraction of computer animation. Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film three and half out of four, saying " Finding Nemo is an undersea treasure. Not as far out there as the extensions to the Monsters and Cars universes, Finding Dory is its own thing, more akin to the Toy Story sequels.

David Ansen of Newsweek gave the film a positive review, saying "A visual marvel, every frame packed to the gills with clever details, Finding Nemo is the best big-studio release so far this year. One of these ads, particularly the one about sharks, can be found on the second disc of the Collector's Edition DVD release of A Bug's Life, which was released three days before the film's release on May 27, 2003. Some points: 1) FINDING NEMO was a classic bit of animation which, for once, would match (in the script more than anything and the characters) classic Disney; 2) this is no FINDING NEMO. Subtitles: English Hard of Hearing, Italian DVD Regions: Region 2 Formats: Pal Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 1. Still, you had to imagine Pixar would try to protect and honor the legacy of one of their most popular films both in the interest of their brand and out of duty to the generation for whom it was one of the most-seen and best-loved films.
