I have yet to meet someone who shares my hatred for that movie. Could I be the only one completley annoyed by the NOT FUNNY characters and lame jokes? (And to top it off ellen degeneris does the voice of the blue fish, she is so annoying. ---

It’s not my favorite Pixar flick by a long shot, but I thought it was better than **Bug’s Life** ---

Probably not. I find Pixar movies to be extremely overrated in general, but at least I finished watching Finding Nemo unlike 1/3rd of them. I don’t think I ever need to watch it a second time, though. ---

It’s my least favorite Pixar movie, but I haven’t seen A Bug’s Life. ---

I think it’s one of the better Pixar movies–behind the _Toy Story_ movies and _The Incredibles_, but above _Wall_E, Up, Ratatouille, A Bug’s Life\*, and _Cars_. Probably about even with _Monsters, Inc_. ---

Wow, I’m surprised to see such disdain for _Bug’s Life_. That’s my favorite Pixar movie, and I’m not ashamed to say it. I’ve never heard anybody (until now) speak badly about it, but maybe I just wasn’t listening. To the OP, I like _Nemo_, but if you don’t like Ellen then I could see why you wouldn’t like it. ---

Probably about even with _Monsters, Inc_. Oh my god I think I hate toy story almost as much as Nemo. Not quite, but almost. Ratatouille and cars I never saw because I figured I’d hate them too. ---

I don’t like Ellen, but I still liked _Nemo_ a lot. I rate it second in the Pixar-verse, right behind _The Incredibles._ ---

It was created by actor and comedian Chespirito, who also played the main character. It was first aired by Televisa in 1973 in Mexico, and then was aired across Latin America and Spain until 1981, alongside El Chavo del Ocho, which shared the same cast of actors.

Hahahaha My nick has nothing to do with him… It comes from " Ojos de Chapulin" - a somewhat endearing way that my loved one tells me he likes my green eyes. (Other girls may be grossed out or offended but I like it) ---

> [@Chapulin](#): > > What did you think of Nemo Hakuna? Oh I thought it was fine when I saw it at the time with my 5 year old daughter. It is a cartoon, it was fun as I recall. It was about what I expected. I don’t get too wound up on things like this–hell, look at my name on this board for gods sake. When I joined the dope I needed a name and my kid was watching The Lion King and I just used something from that movie. But I can’t say I hate Nemo, nor would I say I love it. But I also can’t say I understand your hatred for it. But hey whatever floats your boat. Hey you can always fall back on your namesakes line: “¡No contaban con mi astucia!” (“They did not count on my cleverness!”). ---

> [@Doctor\_Who](#): > > Have you seen Up? Yep. And I didn’t say Finding Nemo was sadder (although it is) but this is a FN thread. And Finding Nemo is sadder. Losing your wife after a life together is horrible, but Marlin lost his wife and kids (except for Nemo) as they were starting a life together.
