If there's any environment that demands 3-D treatment, it's the ocean. Pixar has lovingly translated its 2003 megahit Finding Nemo into 3-D. The result is a lush, inviting undersea world that makes this wonderful tale of loss, parental love, and thrilling adventure even more engaging. The company has wisely not altered the story at all: when a young clownfish named Nemo is captured by scuba divers, his neurotic father Marlin (voiced by neurotic comedian Albert Brooks) sets off to the rescue, aided by a blue tang fish named Dory (brilliantly voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) with a short-term memory loss problem. What follows are ingeniously orchestrated action sequences featuring sharks, jellyfish, a ghastly translucent deepwater fish, pelicans and seagulls, sea turtles, and even an elaborate escape from an aquarium in an Australian dentist's office--all enhanced (but not overdone) by being made 3-D. Through it all runs a deep current of emotion that has made Finding Nemo one of Pixar's most successful features. This 3-D release will only add to its appeal; Marlin and Dory's odyssey through the watery depths is made even more immersive by this marriage of subtle artistry and technical skill. --Bret Fetzer
