I personally thought Finding Nemo had more humorous parts

To my thinking the film works on two different levels. One, the story of the Incredibles. Two, the constant and unrelenting references to other films (thus films within a film). So, like a Warner Brothers cartoon, kids can enjoy the story and adults can enjoy the story and all the winking going on.
I particularly liked the attacking device slowly sinking in the water with its legs nestling to the bottom - an homage to the film Octopussy. Admittedly, references rarely would be a laugh out loud film moment - but touches of humor nonetheless.

Did anyone spot any haloing in this movie? I had two instances that I noticed, and did not know if anyone had the same experience. I tried a search, but it did not return any results.
The first one was when there was a flashback to when Mr. Incredible told Buddy that he wanted worked alone. My TV showed a halo around Mr. Incredible's hair. The other was when Mr. Incredible had the opportunity to crush the girl in his arms and did not. I spotted a halo around her hair. Has anybody else seen this? I remember a halo in Nemo, but that was intentional.
Thanks.

In a direct-from-the-digital-source transfer, EE would have to be added during the compression process (ie. a sharpness filter). If that were the case, the film would have much more 'haloing' than you're seeing - because all the edges would be juiced.

Pixar and Disney Must Get Back Together!
With the departure of Michael Eisner from Disney, I fully hope and expect Pixar and Disney to rekindle their lucrative joint venture. Pixar is the party that had issues with Eisner in the first place, especially after Eisner didn't think much of FINDING NEMO. Boy, was he wrong! John Lassetter forever, Michael Eisner never!

I loved it too and knew absolutely nothing about it beforehand. Hadn't read any of the reviews. I'm a big fan of Holly Hunter (voice of Violet) though because she sounds like me! Which is probably why she never spoke in The Piano.... I'm hinting for my own copy of my upcoming Natal Day celebration... figure I'll need something to cheer me up after blowing out a gazillion candles...

Darn.
Thanks, you are correct, sir. I am in grievous error.
I still talk like Holly however so one out of two is okay.....

This is particulary true when you're watching on an HDTV that, for example, upconverts all it's signals, either to a higher resolution or to progressive scan (not to say that is what's happening to you, it's just the best example I could think of right now)

I just finished watching my copy. I thought the video quality is excellent. I loved the voiceover acting. I loved the Bounding short on the dvd. I also enjoyed the featurette on Bud Lackey. He created one of the most memorable cartoon songs to me the ladybugs picnic. I can sing that song over and over again. I want to see more dvds like this.
