There are lots of reasons to rush to the theater to see Finding Nemo. It's the perfect way to spend an afternoon entertaining kids. Ellen DeGeneres makes a great dopey fish. The turtles are the coolest surfing dudes ever. Australian accents are funny.
But wait, there's more! Even before the movie starts, there's lots to look forward to. Here are the best reasons to get your popcorn and find a seat before the lights go down.
Reason #1: You get a cartoon before the movie!
Yes, dear readers, once upon a time they always had cartoons before the movie. Hard to believe all those WB cartoons we watched for years as kids had a life before TV.
Pixar gives us a short called Knick Knack. You might recognize the music, it's Bobby "Don't Worry Be Happy" McFarrin. You can't see the whole cartoon online but they do have a short clip of it and many of the other shorts (like A Bug's Life and Toy Story) created by Pixar in their theater.
Reason #2: You get an Incredible preview!
The next movie due out from Pixar is The Incredibles, in November 2004. It might just be the next best superhero movie out there. DC and Marvel Beware! If you really don't want to see Nemo you can check out the trailer online. I can't wait for this to come out. It looks absolutely great!
Pixar has a pretty cool website, nothing up for the Incredibles yet but they do have sites for all their other movies released so far. For the computer geeks they have some tech stuff on the systems they used. And finally they have an area dedicated to those really cool super geeks who make these movies. What do I have to do get a job there?
