We took DS to see Finding Nemo tonight and I gotta say, I was a little diappointed. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was cute. But so gosh darn long. 115 min running time. With a toddler, it's a nightmare. It is a good movie, but with the time, I suggest if you have a rambunctious child (or not...lol) wait for video!!!

we took the whole family and saw it too. i thought is was way too long, and pretty boring. the older kids liked it well enough (6 and up) but my 3.5 yr old was more interested in leaving to go eat pizza. he usually sits through movies pretty well.
i would DEFINITELY recommend seeing it on video/dvd.
A different review...we saw it last week with my 3 1/2 y.o. dd as well as friends (a 6 yr old, a 4 year old, & another 3 1/2 y.o.) They all did great. They really enjoyed the movie, were not antsy or anything. And I thought it was the most entertaining Disney movie yet.

First time Cyan was all over the place because the first showing that we went to was sold out... so we waited in the mall for 2 hours, and then went to the next show and I loved what I saw of it... which was not much...
Then we went again the next week on a whim... she has never been so good during a movie. There was one point that she needed to get a drink, and a snack, (I had a bag of contraban m&m's in my purse... lol) She was fabulous! And I liked the movie even more. Length and all... I thought they finally developed the plot to a Disney movie with out anyone getting KILLED. How great! Oh and I totally LOVED the part where Gill is talking about getting the filter stuck, so the dentist has to clean it, and then rolling in the bags, out the window, over the bridge, across the road and into the bay... lmao! Then when they finally did it, none of them had thought of how to get back out of the bags! OMG, I nearly wet my pants!
Call me a child at heart... but I loved it.
Love Val

I am glad to see there are others who agree with me. I thought that it was way too drawn out. At one point I started looking at my watch hoping that it would end at any minute.
