Finding Dory

Finding Dory is the sequel of the highy successful film Finding Nemo. This film has all the voice actors return to there great roles Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres. This one is about Dory and her nasty memory problem and how she has forgotten her family and now much like Nemo find them.

Finding Dory to me was an unneeded film. Finding Nemo was a perfect story. Great character develpoment. Great adventure. Then to top it off great laughs. This film comes up and could almost seem like a cash grab. Which it problemly is, but man did they make a great film out of this cash grab. Finding Dory has all the love and heart that the first one had. It brings us right back to this world of fish. The CGI animation is amazing. Which I almost don't need to say for Pixar. The character design for the fish is so loveable and just fits them all so well. Baby Dory maybe the cutest thing on the planet right now. Putting the story all on Dory was a great move from the writers. She carries this film well and also has a great arc for herself. All the side characters are memorable. None being annoying and always entertaining. Brooks is great, DeGeneres kills it, and Ed O'Neill (Hank the Octopus) almost steals the show. The tone is perfect almost all the way thought the film. 

Finding Dory almost has zero issues. The biggest one in my eyes is the first act and I would say the overall message. The movie starts off a bit rocky and goes by a little to fast for my tastes. Then the overall message doesn't really exist in the film, but the first one didn't have one as well. These are only very minor complaints. This film is going to be one of the best films of the year for sure. I would love to see it again and I hopefully well. Dory, way to keep swimming. 

RATING
3.5 out of 4 Ticket Stubs.
