ok, so if yo uare reading down, here, you have either 1. seen the movie, or 2. want some parts spoiled. you have been warned.

so anyway. that movie was absolutely awesome! i loved it. i think i liked it more than most of the kids that were there! i seriously want a scum master for my tank!

i loved how everything was portrayed as real as possible. like "dont forget to brush" and the nutzo yellow tang, and of course, the squid inking !!! strangely, my favorite character was the cleaner shrimp!!

i loved the preview for The Incredibles! i shall from now on be referred to as Mr.Incredible seeings how asia felt the need to blurt out in the theater "hey dad, that looks like you when you tried putting on your army uniform!"

and for anyone with regal tang experience, are they really as neurotic and nutzo swimmers as dory was portrayed? do they have that much personality? if so, i cant wait till the new tank is actually ready to support one. i promise not to buy the movie star package though

there was this one large guy there that got teary eyed when the pelican was telling nemo about all the crazy stuff his dad was going through to get to him. but i wont say who the large guy was!! the same guy also got a bit teary eyed when dory realized she was tlakign to nemo and took him to find marlin.

anyway, GREAT movie. i need to go see it again!! can't wait for dvd!

I noticed that you would not get some of the inside humor unless you had a tank. Definately had some reef keepers in their midst when they made that movie!

I roared laughing and the only one that was dying laughing about the cleaner shrimp cleaning!

SIGH!

Overall the Movie was cute. On the flipside it was a huge disapointment on behalf of Pixar Animation.. and a huge disapointment to me.

It looked beautiful in someways. Otherwise I didn't like it.

Jay, I had a hippo/regal tang in my last tank for 3 yrs before I moved. Yes, they are as neurotic as Dori Also, they're ich magnets though mine never got ich, it would visit the cleaner shrimps as couple of times a day. A definite candidate for q-tank. But once they're settled they're eating/pooping machines.

Saw the movie a couple of days ago - my favourite is the last scene when all the bags are floating. OOPS! There I was, leaving the theatre, trying to figure how they'd get out of that mess...
