Opinion of Finding Nemo

[Kaine for Senate '18]

If I wanted to se an animated film that illustrates love between a father and son, I'd much rather watch Pinocchio.

That's moronic.

How is that moronic?  Geppetto was lonely enough and loved Pinocchio enough to wish him a real boy, and when he's swallowed by Monstro (in the book he was swallowed by a shark, but in the film it's a whale, kind of like Jonah ), Pinocchio goes to find him.  When Monstro sneezes them up, Pinocchio nearly dies trying to bring Geppetto to shore because the old man was too weak to swim, after which he is finally transformed into a real boy.  Sure, Pinocchio didn't listen to his father when he sent him to school, but he later regretted it after it got him into trouble.

Old style Disney animation was far scarier for children than Pixar movies like Nemo.

True, a lot of the older Disney animation was scary, but I thought Nemo was scarier.  One of the biggest problems with animation today is that it is perceived as "kid's stuff".  However, it wasn't seen like that back in the day.  Walt Disney himself said that his studio's animation wasn't just for kids.  I'm 19 and I have loved cartoons and animation ever since I was a young child; I even considered a career in cartooning and animation (specifically cartoon animation) at one point.  And it's not just that.  Let me be on record as saying that I cannot stand most CGI animation, Pixar or otherwise.  To paraphrase Neil Young, CGI looks like nails being driven into my brain.  It is artistically bankrupt, the stories are dumb and weak, and it's just plain ugly.  CGI animation is inferior in every way to traditional animation.  There's a certain majesty and magic with traditional animation that CGI kills.  While CGI has its place, it shouldn't be used on EVERY SINGLE animated film that comes out (as is the case today.)  That is why I hate Finding Nemo.  If that sounds fuddy-duddy or makes me look like a loser stuck in my mom's basement, then so be it.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Someone here saw this movie when they were 5 or 6?  Good grief, I'm old!!  This movie came out when I was 21.  I can see how it might be scary for young children, but its a heart warming story.  It wasn't scary for me (helped by the fact I was already an adult when it came out).  I don't care to watch it too often, but I like the show.
