This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Finding fuckin' Nemo
Gasp, yes, I said it, I don't like one of the Pixar animasterpieces.

Now, I for one love watching films and can usually appreciate them for whatever content they include, so this isn't one of those "It wasn't funny" rants (I for one loved Wall-e and that wasn't hilarious).

It's just that it isn't... Anything. It's well animated but it's such a nothingy film that totally lacks Pixar's usual penchant for subtext and allegory (Monster's Inc being a comment on the energy crisis, Wall-e being about the environment, etc) as well as being devoid of original concepts (Oh, a fish with a short memory. How did they think of that one?) and it's totally devoted to the belief that a turtle who sounds like a stoner is the pinaccle of clever film making.

The only part I even remotely enjoyed was watching the seagulls talk in different languages on the DVD extras.

In short, it's bullshit, and I cry whenever I see it on the IMDb top 250 list.

Have a kid
and you will understand that this movie is about letting your kid take risks and do your own thing.

Was going to say roughly the same thing
It's about being a not very good Dad and trying to be a better one. I love it.

one of my 4 year olds favorites
so consequently have seen it 1000's of times

I genuinly laugh out loud at several moments (Dory talking whale particularly) in the film dispite seeing it so many times

I don't mind the rest of the film either

Now Tinkerbell on the other hand....grrrrrrrrrrr

I agree for the most part.
My son loves this film, so I've seen it a few times - but I still think it's Pixar's weakest. It doesn't have the depth and richness of most of their other films, although it's stunning to look at. The only really funny part is the talking in Whalesong bit.
