I bought this movie for my 5-year old son who loves sea creatures. I bought the movie on a Friday and over the weekend, he watched it at least 10 times. It's his favourite movie and I must say I like it very much as well. The animation is very well-done and the angles are unique and interesting. My son still watches it twice a day, every day.
Does anyone know of any other sea-related cartoons, other than Finding Nemo?
I think this is an excellent movie for children. It's educational (teaches about sea creatures) and the story line is one of the most original I've come across.
