Film: Finding Nemo / Knickknack
Just as For the Birds outshone Monsters, Inc., so the latest from Pixar is eclipsed by the short that preceeds it.
Don't misunderstand: Finding Nemo is a great film. It's technically astonishing, with beautifully animated seascapes and so much realism in the fluid movements that it's hard to conceive they were animated by software.
But the ten minutes preceding the feature stole the show. Knickknack provides the humour, the thrills and grins that are as lost as Nemo.
When short features can be this good, why are cinemas not screening them more frequently?
