Which answer below is the best objective summary?

In the movie Finding Nemo by Disney/Pixar, an overprotective fish named Marlin must find his son Nemo after he is captured by humans. He meets Dory, who helps him overcome his fears. Marlin eventually finds Nemo, and he becomes more trusting.

Finding Nemo is my favorite movie. Everyone should watch it. Dory is my favorite character because she is goofy and fun, but she also cares about Marlin and Nemo.

An overprotective fish named Marlin must find his son Nemo after he is captured by humans. He meets Dory, who helps him overcome his fears. Marlin eventually finds Nemo, and he becomes more trusting.

Have you ever watched Finding Nemo? If not, you should - it's so good! It's about an overprotective clown fish named Marlin who must find his son Nemo after he is captured by humans. He meets a helpful fish named Dory. Dory helps him overcome his fears and he becomes more trusting.

Which of the following is the better objective summary of The Lion King?

This Disney animated feature follows the adventures of the young lion Simba, the heir of his father, Mufasa. Simba's wicked uncle, Scar, plots to usurp Mufasa's throne by luring father and son into a stampede of wildebeests. But Simba escapes, and only Mufasa is killed. Simba returns as an adult to take back his homeland from Scar with the help of his friends Timon and Pumba.

In a tear jerker story, a young lion, Simba, becomes the victim of his cruel Uncle Scar’s plot to take the throne. After finding himself with the help of his friends Timon and Pumba, Simba heroically returns to Pride Rock where he overpowers Scar. While the film is charming and inspiring, I think the likelihood of a vegetarian lion beating his dominant uncle in a fight is hard to swallow.

Which of the following is the better objective summary for the Return of Shark Week?

Shark Week is an annual, week-long programming block created by Tom Golden on Discovery Channel which features shark-based programming, real and fictional. Held normally in July or August, Shark Week was originally developed to raise awareness for sharks.

For one week every year, the Discovery Channel features Shark Week. While its original purpose was to raise awareness for sharks, it has lost its purpose and is now more entertainment-oriented programming.
