3. Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo was Pixar’s fifth film, released in 2003, a few months after Monsters Inc., and it set a new bar for the studio. The jaw-dropping visuals, the massive scope, the unforgettable characters, the shocking surprises, the hugely emotional moments—Finding Nemo has it all in an astonishingly well-wrapped package. It’s everything a movie should be… and yet, Pixar has done even better.
