It's a NEW Day!!

So, I definitely recommend that everyone see Finding Nemo. It's visually beautiful . . . I expected nothing less after Jessica's raves . . . but what most impressed me and drew me in was the excellent vocal character work by a bunch of great actors.

Ellen DeGeneres was the one who really blew me away. Her perfomance as Dory - an upbeat, likable blue fish who is hyperactive, mentally disabled, and probably ADD as well - is both gut-bustingly funny and incredibly touching. Props to Ms. DeG for doing her homework and being real . . . Dory's combination of courage and insecurity, her bright worldview and the terrible fear underneath, will probably be familiar to anyone who has been close to a differently-abled person.

Oh, and I never expected to hear Allison Janney as the voice of a starfish named Peach who lives on the side of an aquarium. Priceless.
