Finding Nemo is laced with smart humor and clever gags, and buoyed by another cheery story of mismatched buddies: a pair of fish voiced by Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres.

A genuinely funny and touching film that, in less than a decade, has established itself as a timeless classic.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
