This week Chang sat down with entertainment columnists Mary McNamara and Glenn Whipp to discuss the movie, the chords it strikes with parents and children, and why so many of the best Pixar movies speak to both.
“‘Finding Nemo’ is a great family movie, but it’s also a pretty great movie about family,” Chang writes.

You watch the winning movie on your own, then we convene at 6 p.m. Thursdays for a livestreaming event hosted by Chang and featuring special guests.
What’s next: “Jurassic Park” edged out “Speed” and “E.T.” in the final votingfor the next #UltimateSummerMovie.
