Three years before Disney officially purchased Pixar Studios, the animation house released one of their most beloved and critically lauded films to date. Finding Nemo opened?May 30, 2003?and delivered over $800 million in worldwide ticket sales ? ?on a $94 million budget. Since that time, the film has become a fan-favorite home entertainment choice for families and animation fans ? not to mention positioned characters like Nemo, Marlin, and Dory as long-term merchandising platforms.

Screen Rant had a humble start back in 2003 as a place to rant about some of the dumber stuff related to the movie industry. Since then, the site has grown to cover more and more TV and movie news (and not just the dumb stuff) along with sometimes controversial movie reviews. The goal at Screen Rant is to cover stories and review movies from a middle ground/average person perspective.

Now that 3D has managed to take hold both at the box office and home theaters, Disney has been digging in the Pixar archives and rereleasing certain films with new 3D visuals ? including Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and soon Monsters Inc. Given the critical and commercial success of the film, there?s no debating that the?Finding Nemo story is a must see for movie fans.?However, with ten years of availability on DVD (and now Blu-ray), does Finding Nemo 3D, coupled with Mark Walsh?s Toy Story short, Partysaurus Rex,?offer enough payoff to make it worth another viewing ?- this time in 3D?

NOTE: As with previous 3D rerelease reviews,?the purpose of our Finding Nemo 3D review is to help our readers make an informed decision about the 3D rerelease, not spend time revisiting any overarching problems that might have been evident in the original movie ? since readers are likely well acquainted with the quality and overwhelmingly positive critical reception of the 2003 film. In a time when movie studios are quick to shove unnecessary post-conversion rereleases into theaters, moviegoers need to know which movies have enjoyed a rigorous as well as artistic 3D treatment and which ones are simply revisited for the purpose of studio double-dipping ? made even more enticing by 3D upcharges and eventual 3D blu-ray sales.

Fortunately, while Disney is sure to net a solid return on their 3D investment, Pixar?s 3D conversion process is much more involved than typical ?post-conversions? (the Pixar 3D team likens it more to ?recreation?) ? resulting in an experience that is absolutely enhanced by the added depth. Unlike film conversions, Pixar can actually revisit the original digital Finding Nemo files and, as they ?convert each scene into 3D, are able to manually address glitches or areas of discomfort that might occur as a result of moving the images from a 2D to 3D plane. In some cases the 3D team even fixed problems that slipped through the cracks the first time the film was released ? details that will no doubt be the subject of a special feature on the inevitable 3D Blu-ray.
