IDblog ... an information design weblog

June 01, 2003
A laugh riot, fish-style

Hmmm, how can I make the following relevant to an information design weblog?

Finding Nemo characters

Does pointing out the cute fish counter (typography reference) in the "O" in Nemo count?

Probably not. But there absolutely must be an experience design tie in some how. All I know is that Finding Nemo is probably the best movie I've seen with my 8-yr-old nieces. Yes, the visual design is spectacular, and there's a cute story, but I suppose I should be embarassed to admit just how funny I found this movie (e.g., I laughed out loud when I heard the 'volcano' in the fish tank is named "Mt. Hock-a-Loogie"). In particular, Ellen DeGeneres' character (above right, blue, who plays off beautifully against Albert Brooks character, above left) has most of the great lines...I almost totally lost it during the whale scene.

If you know a kid, take them. If not, you can either go for the humor (some of which is low-brow...the fart joke scene is pretty funny too) or just the fabulous animation work.
