Fresh off a viewing in a packed theater of kids and parents, my initial impression of "Finding Nemo" was that I had a great time throughout, but don't necessarily remember why. The film is similar to the "Toy Story" pacing, in that we follow two different protagonists in their attempt to return to one another. In brief summary, Marlin the overprotective father clownfish must overcome his own fear of open ocean to try and find his only son, Nemo, who has been captured by a diver and transplanted to an ocean-view dentist's office fish tank.

The visual impact of "Finding Nemo" is unparalleled in animated film. At its best, it compares to the experience of seeing the sweeping landscapes of "Fellowship of the Ring" for the first time - not until we own the DVD and my son has watched it a dozen times will I really have an opportunity to see the details crammed into the lush backgrounds of the coral reefs. It was noticeable, however, that frequent close-ups in open water were used to reduce the amount of time spent rendering those brilliant backgrounds. In comparison to Pixar films like "A Bug's Life", where every moment of the film includes rich textures and detailed background perspective, this seemed jarring at times. It should be noted that this is true to what the ocean looks like - if you're not diving in a coral reef, you are probably seeing a lot of floating detritus and gray water - but it's worth mentioning that the fish tank environment of Nemo and his fellow captives is, at times, more interesting than the open ocean.

Pixar took chances (or else saved money) with many of the voice actors used in the film. It was refreshing not to instantly "know" a voice was familiar in the case of many of the characters - all of them did a serviceable job, although the well-known actors also turned in some of the best performances. Ellen DeGeneres had no fear as the voice of Dory, gleefully pulling off vocal pratfalls that would have been hampered by someone else's sense of dignity. I can think of only one other actress - Julia Louis-Dreyfuss - who I think would have been able to do Dory well. Kudos to Ellen. Willem Dafoe is also noticeably brilliant as Gill, and it's a bonus that the animated character he plays is gorgeously realized. John Ratzenberger does a hysterical turn as the school of fish we all saw in the previews.

I am surprised at the number of characters whose voices are not credited in this film. I wanted to know, among others, who voiced Mr. Ray the schoolteacher and the trio of parents with whom Marlin banters.

I laughed out loud frequently and heartily throughout the film, but at the end, I looked back and wondered how those moments of amusement added to the story. Many people have commented that they loved the 12-step program for sharks ("Fish are our friends, not food!") but in the final analysis, it added very little to the arc and seemed out of character (I realize I'm stating the obvious). The frequently-dropped comedic digressions were the weak point in this picture, especially compared to "A Bug's Life", where the funniest moments of the film are all critical to the progress of the protagonist and impact the end of the story.

My 2 and a half year old son was frequently frightened to the point of crying out and grabbing on to me during the movie, and he followed the primary issues easily. At a particular moment in the film when things seemed hopeless, I heard dozens of young children beginning to cry. If your child is very affected by scary or dramatic moments in movies, you may want to talk with them about "pretend" versus "real" and prepare them for the eventuality that everything will turn out all right well before you go into the theater. His final analysis was that "the fish movie was good!" - so take it under advisement if you have kids of similar age.

I give "Finding Nemo" an 8 out of 10 on the strength of its visual lushness, its enjoyable voice work, and its moments of perfectly timed humor. It does not, in my opinion, match the strength as a *film* of earlier Pixar offerings, but even in its innocuous state, it's higher quality than most of the family films I've seen in the past 3 years.

About Us
The business was established in 1974 by Mr. John Barbuto (JB), trading from a single store in East Keilor, Victoria. He had one simple philosophy: to deliver a specialist range of Hi-Fi and recorded music at Australia’s lowest prices.

The business was sold in 1983 and by 1999 another nine stores were opened.

In July 2000 JB Hi-Fi was purchased by private equity bankers and senior management with the aim of taking the successful model nationally.

In October 2003, JB Hi-Fi was floated on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Now, maintaining Barbuto’s original philosophy, JB is Australasia’s fastest growing and largest retailer of home entertainment.

In July 2004, JB bought the Queensland Clive Anthony chain of stores which sell consumer electronics, white goods, cooking appliances and air-conditioning.

As part of its New Zealand expansion JB purchased the Auckland Hill & Stewart chain in March 2007.

JB stores offer the world’s leading brands of Hi-Fi, Speakers, Televisions, DVD’s, VCR’s, Cameras, Car Sound, Home Theatre, Computers and Portable Audio and continues to stock an exclusive range of specialist Hi-Fi products.

Since starting out nearly a century ago, Woolworths has changed the face of Australian retailing. Beginning as a single basement store in Sydney, Woolworths now has a shopping centre in almost every metropolitan and regional centre of Australia. Every day, we offer fresh, superior quality fresh food to millions of our customers nationwide.

Our supermarkets are part of the wider Woolworths Limited Group - which is the second largest private employer in Australia, and we have more than 320,000 shareholders.

Just how did Woolworths become such an Australian household name? Take a look at these key milestones in our history:

1920s

In December 1924, Woolworths' first ever store - the Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement, opened in the old Imperial Arcade in Pitt Street, Sydney.

1930s & 1940s

Woolworths grew rapidly, and had soon acquired a chain of stores: 31 in Australia and 9 in New Zealand. Throughout the Depression, Woolworths looked after Australians by continuing to grow with new stores and employ local workers. Woolworths also encouraged manufacturers to continue to develop their production facilities - leading to an increase in the amount of Australian-made goods sold through Woolworths stores. Twenty five new Woolworths stores opened in the first months of World War II.

1960s & 1970s

During this time we pioneered the supply of a wide range of low price, quality merchandise to rural Australia - especially to remote areas such as Alice Springs and Darwin. Diversification into fresh food led to the opening of Woolworths' first Food Fair Store, and soon became one of Australia's biggest retailers of fresh fruit and vegetables.

1980s

During the 1980s, Woolworths became established as the "Fresh Food People" - with a commitment to delivering quality fresh food to their customers. In 1985, Woolworths acquired Australian Safeway. Woolworths had now become the market leader in grocery sales, serving up to 10 million customers per week. In just two years, profit rose from $8 million to an incredible $136 million.

1990s

In 1993, the $2,450 million Woolworths' share float was the biggest in Australia's history. The 1,000 million shares on offer were quickly snapped up by more than 33,000 investors, many of them everyday Australians - including 19,000 Woolworths' employees.

2000s

Today, Woolworths is a household name. We have over 700 supermarkets and serve over 13 million customers Australia-wide, each week.

Everything we do is driven by a commitment to providing customers with the freshest produce, the best prices and the best possible service.

As the "Fresh Food People", the scale and quality of our fresh food offering is unrivalled by other supermarkets, and we have made it our mission to source the very best farmers and growers Australia has to offer. We also continue to offer an extensive range of affordable, everyday grocery items from trusted and well-known brands.

Our staff are passionate about customer service. We strive to help our customers enjoy fresh, healthy food whenever possible by offering expert nutritional advice, useful food handling and safety information, and delicious recipe suggestions.

Woolworths is continually looking toward the future - exploring new and better means of delivering superior quality and everyday convenience. This commitment extends to the community and environment - through our support for various charities and a wide range of initiatives to help achieve a better and more sustainable environment.

To this day, Woolworths remains a down-to-earth, honest Australian Company, dedicated to providing customers with a convenient and enjoyable shopping experience - each and every time.
