Dive into the movie overflowing with unforgettable characters, dazzling animation and gallons of fun! Some flashing lights sequences or patterns may affect photosensitive viewers. Finding Dory is a must see and has, quite possibly, the best celebrity cameo ever.From the Academy Award–winning creators of Disney Pixar’s Finding Nemo (Best Animated Feature, 2003) comes an epic undersea adventure filled with imagination, humour and heart. Dory has a terrible memory and gets into a whole lot of trouble, but why would you want her any other way. Finding Dory tops off the happiness smoothie with that little cherry. But then they are almost always the most fun, adventurous people. In life, you sometimes take for granted friends who are a little too idiosyncratic. Marlin has a great monologue where he explains why Dory is so important to them. She's the unexpected, the bow-tied box before you open it. This is because Dory is such a wonderful character. I didn't have a clue where the story was taking me as I watched this film. Once again, a nitpicking critique that shouldn't dissuade anyone from seeing this film. The story is so layered and deep, the artistry probably was second fiddle. It's a little surprising that the animation wasn't blow your skirt off eye-popping, but I don't think that was really what the studio was focused on. It still looks amazing, but Nemo came out thirteen years ago. Finding Dory looks almost exactly like Finding Nemo. Let me be clear this is a minor, ant-sized bone to pick. The one thing that didn't quite meet my expectations was the quality of the CGI. The otters probably have three minutes on screen, but are remarkably memorable. It also helps that the characters are so well established. The filmmaker's blend emotion with laughs and wonder for the perfect happiness smoothie. Loss, the love of family, cherishing your friends, these are great lessons, but can easily be sappy especially in a kids movie. This time around they strike the perfect chord. You could create a waterfall of tears from Up, Toy Story 3, and last year's animation bummer, Inside Out. The screenplay by writer/director Andrew Stanton and Victoria Strouse is beautiful. Including a cranky, but kind hearted octopus (Ed O'Neil), a near-sighted whale (Diane Keaton), and the oddest duck to grace the silver screen. The journey to find each other results in a host of wonderful new friends. As the trio embarks on the quest for Dory's parents, they get separated. Marlin is through with cross sea adventures, but Nemo reminds him what Dory did to rescue him. They deduce it is a clue to her birthplace. Luckily, Nemo is nearby and remembers it. She recounts a strange phrase, then in true Dory fashion, forgets it immediately.
A random event stirs Dory's memories of her childhood.
Dory ( Ellen Degeneres) has settled into an idyllic life with Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolence). Pixar has once again proven that they are the kings of animation.įinding Dory takes place a year after the events of the first film. Every piece of the film really stands up to be counted. The new characters are so entertaining, even the ones that have minimal screen time. The story is incredibly imaginative with just the right amount of humor and sentiment. It's not as good as Finding Nemo, but comes pretty darn close.
