niravsj Very nice film and the character of Dory is so beautifully portrayed. A great sequel to Finding Nemo.

ang-25003 Finding Dory is a G-rated film that is a sequel to the popular movie, Finding Nemo. The movie is based on the character, Dory, and her short-term memory. Her short-term memory is what I love about Dory the most since it makes her humorous. In the film she begins to sleep-swim. During her dreams, she sees her parents and memories of her childhood. What sparked Dory's memory of finding her family was the conversation that Nemo had with Dory about family, than she later hit her head which sparked a flashback of her parents. One day Marlin and Nemo are unable to find her after they awake. The movie shows Dory's adventures in the aquarium and Marlin and Nemo's journey trying to find Dory. Along the way she finds out that she was born at an aquarium in Sydney, Australia. Turns out Dory ends up in an aquarium where she was born which is ironic since her short-term memory lead her astray. I enjoyed this movie due to its humorous, innocent jokes and its sense of nostalgia. It introduces new characters, such as Destiny and Hank. These new characters' play key roles in helping not only Dory get to her family but Nemo and Marlin in getting to Dory. Also, the movie's graphics were bright and detailed which captured the audiences attention which is necessary to capture children's attention. There were only a few scenes where the movie failed to make us laugh. Somehow even after a series of serious moments, the dialogue and personalities of the characters were able to make me laugh. This film did a good job at making a sequel to a well adored movie, which is often not the case. Also, I enjoyed how there was a surprise appearance of Sigourney Weaver as the announcer of the aquarium at Sydney, Australia. Definitely would recommend to all ages!

anizsaira Good plot and while there were many puzzles, it all gets answered. Good colors and my kid also enjoyed it.

Clifton Johnson Perhaps it is unfair to compare any movie to "Finding Nemo," even its sequel. The heavy reliance on flashbacks and homages to the first film really hampered this story, especially over a sluggish first act. There was definitely momentum, though, all the way to a (second) funny and fantastic finale. I laughed out loud throughout. Sequels rarely live up to their predecessors - and this film is no exception - but it did work, thanks in part to great performances and the usual Pixar creativity.
