The fishes win an Oscar!
"Finding Nemo" found its way to the Oscar podium Sunday night, winning the Academy Award for best-animated feature.
The child of divorcing corporate parents Walt Disney Co. and Pixar Animation Studios, Nemo was one of the smash hits of 2003, taking in $340 million in ticket sales just in the U.S. The lushly animated film tells the story of a father fish looking for his little son, who struggles to make his way back home to the ocean.
The winning moment at Kodak Theatre could have been awkward, but director Andrew Stanton simply credited the "extraordinary filmmaking environment at Pixar" as well as Dick Cook, the chairman of Walt Disney Studios.
Is really great to see former alumni from my school win an award like that, the director is one of many great alumni with a magnificent vision. I think that’s why this film do so well, because the director has full control over the film, also the story is great that’s why this film was one of the best animation film this year.
