Finding Nemo "Monsters, Inc."—Nemo treats family audiences to a sweet, resonant story and breathtaking visuals. It may lack "Monsters, Inc."s clever humor, but kids will identify with the spunky sea fish Nemo, and adults will relate to Marlin, Nemo's devoted dad." Bruce Westbrook of the "Houston Chronicle" gave the film an A-, saying ""Finding Nemo" lives up to Pixar's high standards for wildly creative visuals, clever comedy, solid characters and an involving story." Tom Long of "The Detroit News" gave the film an A-, saying "A simple test of humanity: If you don't laugh aloud while watching it, you've got a battery
Finding Nemo crown." Another review aggregation website, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 90 out of 100, based on 38 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim." Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars, calling it "one of those rare movies where I wanted to sit in the front row and let the images wash out to the edges of my field of vision". Broadway star Nathan Lane, who was the voice of Timon the meerkat in "The Lion King", has said "Finding Nemo" was his favorite animated film. Ed
