    Ellen DeGeneres may be a big Hillary Clinton supporter, but that doesn't mean Donald Trump has been banned from her show. "I don't know if we've formally asked him," DeGeneres told E! News' Will Marfuggi yesterday while she was promoting Finding Dory, the sequel to her 2003 box office hit Finding Nemo. "I mean, he's welcome to come if he wants to come on. I don't think I see that happening. I don't know that he would do that. But I wouldn't say no if he wanted to be on." Trump has been a guest on her show five times,...

    -snip- “John Carter,” a big-budget science fiction epic from Walt Disney Studios that opened Friday and flopped over the weekend. Disney spent lavishly (some say foolishly) on the movie in large part to keep one of its most important creative talents happy: Andrew Stanton, the Pixar-based director of “Finding Nemo” and “Wall-E.” “John Carter,” which cost an estimated $350 million to make and market, and was directed by Mr. Stanton, took in about $30.6 million at the North American box office, according to Rentrak, which compiles box-office data. That result is so poor, even when factoring in about $71 million...

    Nov. 06, 2003 'Finding Nemo' surfaces, sells 8 mil copies By AP "Finding Nemo" is the catch of the day at video stores. The animated tale sold a record 8 million DVD and VHS copies in its first day Tuesday, breaking the previous high of 7 million set last year by "Spider-Man," according to "Finding Nemo" partners Disney and Pixar Animation. The studio shipped 25 million copies but already has ordered more, figuring some stores might run out as early as this weekend, said Bob Chapek, president of Disney home entertainment. "We saw stores yesterday almost going through their inventory...

    On Oct 16th we started circulation of a petition protesting PETAS’ claim to the use of “Finding Nemo” characters from Disney. The show producers “Pixar” admit to the fact that the film is designed to carry a message. Our fishing pastime is being attacked in a manner that is so blatantly wrong and potentially dangerous to our children. http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story/sm_827281.html?menu It’s all in the perception, here’s an example of just how feeble the efforts of concerned fishermen/women are viewed. The posters associated with Peta2 have no problem sharing their confidence that we are toothless and benign. http://www.actionstudio.org/public/folder_view.cfm?pageid=341&option=view_thread&postid=300814&folderid=726 Read all the comments...

    <p>Something strange is abreast with Knickknack, the critically acclaimed 1989 short that precedes Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo at theaters nationwide.</p> <p>The short follows the hapless attempts of a lonely snow-globe snowman to escape his domain and join a plastic Miami beach bunny. The movie was released on a G-rated 1996 video collection called Tiny Toy Stories. But in that version, the Miami beauty and a mermaid who appears at the end of the short were more well-endowed than they are today.</p>

    I just got back from taking my four-year-old to see "Finding Nemo." For those who don't know about it, it's the new Disney animated movie about a tropical clown fish whose son gets caught by a diver and is taken away. The plot is based on the daddy fish's search for his son. Anyway, at one point the daddy fish is talking to some sharks, and tells how is son got taken by the diver. One of the sharks says something like: "Those humans think they own everything." Then another says: "ESPECIALLY THOSE AMERICANS." To add injsult to injury, the...
