Have You Ever Seen

Finding Nemo


Listen Later

Disney will monopolize Have You Ever Seen's first 2 days of May. We start the month with Finding Nemo, which even 20 years later remains one of Pixar's best stories and feats of animation. Even though he's one of the funniest people in Hollywood, Albert Brooks has to play the killjoy, so the laughs are courtesy of the supporting voice cast, especially Ellen DeGeneres. Her Dory is one of the great characters in all of Pixar, both from a comedy standpoint, but also from a lovability standpoint. We spent a lot of time talking about her checkered real-life history, plus we jawed about the driving forces behind this film: director Andrew Stanton and the now-reviled executive producer John Lasseter. We also talked about Pixar's legacy, including their decline in the past 10 or 12 years. Still, a classic is a classic and Finding Nemo is that. So just keep swimming while you make this podcast mineminemine by downloading it, then go on a perilous mission with your helpful Memento-esque friend as our 508th edition drifts into your ears.

Well, Actually: Ellen's talk show was called "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and her sitcom was just called "Ellen". Also, the movie she made with Bill Pullman was Mr. Wrong, not Mr. Right.
