bullet::::- the seas with nemo & friends — guests board "clamobiles" and venture into the sea to join marlin, dory, and other characters from the film "finding nemo", as they search for nemo who has gotten lost again. guests first journey through a coral reef where they find marlin, a clownfish, searching for nemo. farther along the reef, they come across mr. ray and his students, setting out to explore and look for nemo. dory soon joins marlin in the search and they come upon a group of jellyfish. an anglerfish comes out of the darkness and begins to chase them frantically. guests dive deeper and come upon the wreck of a massive submarine that sits in the center of a deadly minefield. peeking out from the wreck is bruce, a great white shark, and chum, a mako shark, trying to coax nemo out from his hiding spot. (anchor, a hammerhead shark is not included in the ride.) they assure him in their sneaky voices that fish are friends, not food. the clamobiles are then swept up into the east australian current with nemo, crush, and squirt. the current empties the guests out into a massive aquarium where nemo is reunited once again with his friends. as they sing a closing song, "in the big blue world" (although the ride opened first, this song was adapted from the disney's animal kingdom show "finding nemo - the musical"), these animated pixar characters swim in the actual aquarium with real fish through the use of special effect glass. the clamobiles then return to the surface.

kenneth turan of the "los angeles times" gave the film three-and-a-half out of five, saying "the best break of all is that pixar's traditionally untethered imagination can't be kept under wraps forever, and "nemo" erupts with sea creatures that showcase stanton and company's gift for character and peerless eye for skewering contemporary culture." stephen holden of "the new york times" gave the film four out of five stars, saying "visual imagination and sophisticated wit raise "finding nemo" to a level just below the peaks of pixar's "toy story" movies and "monsters, inc."." terry lawson of the "detroit free press" gave the film three out of four, saying "as we now expect from pixar, even the supporting fish in ""finding nemo"" are more developed as characters than any human in the "mission: impossible" movies." claudia puig of "usa today" gave the film three and half out of four, saying ""finding nemo" is an undersea treasure. the most gorgeous of all the pixar films—which include "toy story" 1 and 2, "a bug's life" and "monsters, inc."—nemo treats family audiences to a sweet, resonant story and breathtaking visuals. it may lack "monsters, inc."s clever humor, but kids will identify with the spunky sea fish nemo, and adults will relate to marlin, nemo's devoted dad." bruce westbrook of the "houston chronicle" gave the film an a-, saying ""finding nemo" lives up to pixar's high standards for wildly creative visuals, clever comedy, solid characters and an involving story." tom long of "the detroit news" gave the film an a-, saying "a simple test of humanity: if you don't laugh aloud while watching it, you've got a battery not a heart."
