Saturday's best TV

Movies

"Finding Nemo"

An Academy Award for best animated feature went to this dazzling 2003 box-office blockbuster from Pixar. A neurotic clownfish named Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks) teams up with a cheerful but scatterbrained blue tang fish named Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres in a comic tour-de-force) to search for his son (voice of Alexander Gould), who has been captured by a diver. 6 p.m., Disney, Channel 45.

"Ben-Hur"

Eleven Oscars went to this 1959 epic of childhood friends, a Jew (best actor winner Charlton Heston) and a Roman (Stephen Boyd), who become enemies during the time of Christ. William Wyler, who had been a junior assistant on MGM's 1926 silent adaptation of Lew Wallace's best-selling novel, took the director's chair on this remake and won an Oscar for his efforts. 7 p.m., TCM, Channel 65.

"Happy Feet"

Gene Kelly may have sung "Gotta dance!" but the young emperor penguin at the heart of this 2006 tale really has to dance. Born without the ability to sing, he expresses himself and hopes to attract a mate through his amazing dancing talent. Voice talent includes Carlos Alazraqui, Jeff Garcia, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving, Robin Williams and Elijah Wood. 7:45 p.m., Disney, Channel 45.
