Beyond the occaisonal amusement drawn from Ellen's forgetful fish, I think it's far and away the most cliche of all the Pixar films. There is almost no shades to characters, and the lack of any genuine villain leaves as feeling like all we just watched was a fish road trip.
It's no doubt beautiful, but we aren't talking about exceedingly complicated design, wide blue ocean CGI fish? The level of design is flat and frankly inferior to their other work. It looks nice sure, but it's not very interesting.
I soundly think it's their most over rated film.

I agree with everything that you said here. *high fives Az*
I STILL don't understand why everyone is such die-hard Nemo fans. It's another manipulative dead parent plot with a contrived journey sequence.
Gorgeous, sure, but with the exception of Ellen's character, no one else stood out or was particularly memorable.
It was beautiful, yes, but with no substance, no memorable characters, and a bunch of Disney cliches, that just doesn't do it for me.

As for Wall-E... Quite possibly the best film of 2008. Gorgeous, charming, sweet, substantial, memorable and adorable characters... LOVED it.
