Refining and simplifying the original title, while retaining the audience information specified: Finding Nemo DVD Collector's Edition

From the Academy Award(R)-winning creators of TOY STORY and MONSTERS, INC. (2001, Best Animated Short Film, FOR THE BIRDS), comes the hilarious adventure of FINDING NEMO, where you'll meet colorful characters that take you into the breathtaking underwater world of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to Marlin (Albert Brooks), his worrisome father, and Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish, to make the epic journey to bring Nemo home. Their adventure brings them face-to-face with vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and more. Marlin discovers a bravery he never knew, but will he be able to find his son?

FINDING NEMO's breakthrough computer animation takes you into a whole new world with this undersea adventure about family, courage, and challenges. "Dizzy, dazzling hilarity a DVD to cherish and enjoy over and over again," says Gene Shalit from the Today Show, and "This DVD will reel you in, hook, line and sinker," according to Bruce Kluger from PARENTING MAGAZINE.

The DVD set is packed with watchable extras that hardly reiterate the same information, handled in a funny, inventive, and light-touch manner, unlike many PR-driven discs. The filmmakers' jolly commentary track branches off into 30 minutes of behind-the-scene stuff, deleted scenes, and curious anecdotes. Pixar's first making-of documentary is a concise and interesting 25-minute examination that also sheds light on how the company works. With a digital-to-digital transfer, the film looks great and is available in widescreen or reformatted to full screen.

The "Family Fun" disc includes another Pixar made-for-the-DVD gem, the 7-minute "Exploring the Reef" with Jean-Michel Cousteau (Jacques's son) being upstaged by Dori and Marlin; it's a hoot and teaches a fact or two you will remember about reefs. Both discs feature lovely menus that can be turned into virtual aquariums for your TV (by removing the text) featuring the knockout colors of the film's settings. Watch long enough for some shenanigans from the film's characters and vocal talent. As Doug Thomas from the review says, "Genius, pure genius."
