Finding Nemo

p. I finally got around to seeing "Finding Nemo(Pixar website)":http://www.pixar.com/featurefilms/nemo/ today, and was really stunned by it. The quality of the animation--as always with Pixar films--was breathtaking. Every second, you could see weeks of painstaking animation work and rendering just flashing by in the background. I got the feeling that--as with the "rotating cube effect(You can see the effect here, even if you don't have Panther)":http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/fastuserswitching/ for fast user switching--they just did it because they could. It was very funny (with plenty of jokes for both adults and children), and the plot raced along at a tremendous pace. What I didn't really expect was that it would be so educational. I'm convinced that you could probably learn a fair amount of marine biology and dentistry from watching this film. I mean, how many other animations have you seen that include the phrase ["sub-oesophageal ganglion(Huxley's diagram of the crayfish, 1879)":http://www2.biology.ualberta.ca/palmer/thh/f/cf12.htm]?
