Finding Nemo from PIXAR & Walt Disney
This past weekend I watched Finding Nemo by PIXAR. I jotted down the idioms and "idiomatic language" as they occurred to me. I'm typing them in here temporarily and will later decide how to write it up.
Most likely I will *not* decide to write up this movie however, because A. much of the slang is Australian, and being an American myself I will need to check with some Australians about questions that I have, & B. For the first entry, I'd rather do a movie that doesn't have Oh so many idioms
One thing I am noticing is that these cartoon movies are often very heavy on idiomatic language. Here is a quickl listing of what I heard on my first viewing, and a quick second going through. You'll notice that I include some language here that people may think is not idiomatic. But to me, a phrase that is very commonly used does take on idiomatic elements:
