Finding Dory

As a fan of the original I needed to watch this sequel. It's not as good as it's predecessor, but contains the same sense of humor. It's definitely worth a watch if you liked the first movie.

Even though it doesn't elevate above its predecessor, "Finding Dory" is still a excellent, nostalgic Pixar movie that brings witty and emotional scenes to the big screen once more.

On the other end, Finding Nemo is a masterpiece and if you cannot create a film on par with it, which is impossible than it shouldn’t be worth telling at all we get a bit of both. Amidst the phenomenal animation Pixar is known for, they were able to take the character of Dory and provide a strong emotional story with her character while providing tons of characters that fit the theme while being memorable in their own right. What prevents this from being a masterpiece are the lowered stakes, repeating story elements and character arcs, and not everything jelled like in the previous film. Nonetheless, Pixar is still one of the top tier studios and if they are going to cave into sequel pressure at least they made a substantial and charming film not great but good.… Expand

When you try to make a sidekick the star, their casual presence doesn't always work as the focus. Dory, who has only short term memory, decides to go in search of her parents. This takes her on adventures all over an aquatic theme park, but the sequel is darker, literally and thematically. Where the first featured colorful, delightful animation, this one often takes place in murky, gloomy environments. Dory's search leads to continuous self-doubt and hesitation. The movie runs too long, partially because the story takes too many twists and turns (ebbs and flows?). DeGeneres' flippant way with a punch line still lands the laffs and there are the requisite new wacky characters. Although less delightful than the original, it still has moments of entertaining fun.

Whilst Pixar has a deserving reputation for being one of the greatest animation studios of all time, their sequels have tended to be a lot more hit and miss. The second and third Toy Story films are some of the studios best works, but itsWhilst Pixar has a deserving reputation for being one of the greatest animation studios of all time, their sequels have tended to be a lot more hit and miss. The second and third Toy Story films are some of the studios best works, but its other sequels 'Cars 2' and 'Monsters University' are probably the studios biggest disappointments. As for finding Dory it's probably somewhere between these two extremes. It doesn't quite live up to Finding Nemo, but it's still a worthwhile sequel that still better than the mediocrity of 'Cars 2'.

Taking place about a year after the first film, Dory (Elen DeGeneres) has started a happy new life with Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolence). But one day when helping out with a class trip at Nemo's school Dory see's something that remind her about her family and she realises she has to find them. Knowing what it's like to lose their family, Marlin and Nemo go with Dory on a journey across the ocean to find her family. Their search quickly leads them to an aquarium (wisely changed from being located at Seaworld after the Blackfish documentary) where Dory rediscovers her roots and remembers her life before she found Nemo.

It's a good story and one that does feel like an organic development from the first film, but it does feel like a step down from Finding Nemo. Whilst the journey still allows for a lot of emotional moments, there's never the same feeling of urgency or danger as there was in the first film. Plus everything just feels like it's happening on a smaller scale this time. Instead of focusing on a vast adventure across the sea, it's much more scaled down from Finding Nemo taking place almost entirely within the aquarium. It's still a fun setting, but it fails to recapture either the epic scale of Marlins adventure across the ocean, or Nemo's hilariously confined setting of a dentist's fish bowl.

Unlike Cars 2 where Mater never felt like he was a strong enough character to be the lead, it really felt natural to have Dory become the lead. Dory has such a likable personality and DeGeneres' incredible comedic timing makes it difficult not to love her. Plus she's still able to have a lot of powerful emotional moments, including one dramatic sequence that shows her before meeting Marlin and searching the sea for years slowly forgetting her family across her lifetime. It's also a lot of fun to see Albert Brooks return as Marlin and it's nice to see how he's become Dory's surrogate family. But Nemo's return was a little more disappointing. He's still the cute and kind clownfish that we knew from the first film, but he never really has much to do in the film other than just tag along.

There's also a range of new aquatic creatures that the gang encounters when they're exploring the aquarium. There's Destiny (Katilyn Olson) a blind whale who Dory knew as a child who offers a friendly glimpse in to Dory's past. A pair of kind sea lions (Idris Elba and Dominic West) who want to do nothing but nap on their rock. Though the best addition is a octopus with a missing leg named Hank (Ed O'Neil) the loner who is says he's helping Dory for his own gain, but is shown to be a creature with 3 hearts of gold. He's also a real scene stealer with a dry wit and some really creative and over the top sequences showing him getting around the aquarium. Seeing him blend in to environments and sling himself across the aquarium does lead to the most visually creative sequences of the film.

Parts of the film does seem a little too over the top at times. Even for a film with talking fish, some moments where we see fish flying through the air or at one point even driving a truck seems a little too unbelievable. But it does always remain fun. Plus whilst the film shares several story ideas and characters to its predecessor, it's still able to remain wholly original by introducing its own ideas about family and has several scenes that will be able to resonate with audiences of all ages.… Expand

If anything, Stanton & pals have taken the drama to a new level—well, the movie is still about a lost child, but Dory seems more pointed in its portrayal of juvenile angst. In fact, parents should give some thought to whether their youngsters who are old enough to understand the plot are also old enough not to worry about it. But we adults (most of us) can take the poignancy and near-desperation that colors some scenes, and will appreciate the search for a resolution—to help Dory find ways around short-term “remembery” loss and, more generally, to cope with fear. (In theaters, the movie is preceded by the short “Plover,” which has been highly praised for its animation but which I found rather flat, especially compared with Disney/Pixar’s previous “opening acts.”)… Expand

I found one scene in “Finding Dory” to be absolutely ridiculous and while shaking my head I heard my brain saying, “What can be more ridiculous than an 80 year old man having a ball watching a cartoon about talking fish and enjoying himself,I found one scene in “Finding Dory” to be absolutely ridiculous and while shaking my head I heard my brain saying, “What can be more ridiculous than an 80 year old man having a ball watching a cartoon about talking fish and enjoying himself, probably more than the kids in the audience?”

I don’t know which was more fun recognizing old friends like Dory, the blue tang fish who has no short term memory, or Nemo and Marlin, the clown fish or meeting new friends like a very near sighted shark, a very strange octopus who can somewhat drive a truck and a beluga fish who can see outside of his surroundings.

You are very quickly drawn into the picture as we meet Dory and her old and new friends. You not only are in their world but you believe the world exists no matter what situations they get into and out of, in the strangest ways!

We are brought up to snuff regarding “Finding Nemo” and quickly get into Dory looking for her parents. “Finding Dory” is a little heavier and sadder than the first movie. Though Dory’s movie is only about 3 minutes longer than Nemo’s because of its heavier scenes about friends and family it seems a lot longer. A lot more characters are introduced, some quickly who come and go, others become an important part of the picture.

From the opening vignette, before the titles, up to the funny ‘bits’, mainly by Hank the octopus, under the closing credits, “Finding Dory” is a good film for the kids and the adults. Of the many films I have seen this year so far I would rate “Finding Dory” in the top 5.

Yes Ellen DeGeneres is back as Dory and Albert Brooks is Nemo’s father, while Nemo is now voiced by Hayden Rolance along with Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy as Dory’s parents, Ty Burrell as Bailey the Beluga whale, Kaitlin Olson as Destiny the near sighted shark among many others but don’t waste time trying to figure out who is what creature as it will only drive you crazy!

I do expect a feature like “Finding Destiny and Bailey” in 2-3 years!!

By the way we adults outnumbered the kids at the matinee which might say something---or not!… Expand

The animation was as colorful, crisp, and beautiful as ever, but this time around this ended up feeling like the highpoint of the film rather than the story. I think it's also worth mentioning that even the post-credit scene felt so ridiculously last-minute and silly.

Ellen as DoryFinding Dory fails to top it's predecessor in every single aspect. With the forgettable and thrown together sub plots to the mediocre main plot "Finding Dory" really can only depend on it's new characters to be somewhat good. Ellen as Dory was so heartwarming but for the rest of the main characters from the first movie. Well they make themselves as unlikeable as ever. Marlin comes off as a jerk in the movie and Nemo comes off as a nagging toddler. The movie really shines where new characters like Hank and Destiny come in. They are some of the funniest and most visibly and virtually endearing/impressive characters in the movie. With Hank's attitude to Destiny's jokes I feel that more than ever did Pixar do a good job with new sidekicks. This movie is only a slightly better Cars 2 and that's the sad truth. It takes a character that was literally meant for comic reliefs into the spotlight. Finding Dory did it better but they really left her disability at the door for a lot of scenes which I think it odd for a movie about acceptance of people with disabilities. The end of the movie is what seals it has a disaster to me. There's a line for what's realistic in a movie like this and they crossed it by a New York mile. Overall there were some laughs to be had but the movie had me feeling as good as ever to just watch the first one again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 'Finding Nemo' (2003) is my favorite Pixar movie of all time, a movie that I cherished ever since I first saw it. It's a magical and touching experience that cannot be matched by any other, not even a sequel. When I heard that they were going to be making a sequel to one of my favorite animated movies ever, I found it rather odd to take a magical and touching adventure, and making it into a possible franchise.

Thankfully, 'Finding Dory' is not as unnecessary as it feels to be, it's a movie that has a good heart, it's very charming and very funny from time to time. But, it can also feel a little...underwhelming.

The movie starts off where we see a young Dory with her parents Charlie (voiced by Eugene Levy) and Jenny (Diane Keaton) teaching the little Dory everything she needs to know how to cope with having short-term memory loss. It then cuts to present day where Dory (Ellen DeGeneres, not losing her comedic charm) starts having some strange visions and flashbacks involving her past with her parents. She then realizes where she came from, who her parents might be, and how she ended up being separated from them to begin with.

Her friends, Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (now voiced by Hayden Rolence) try to help her get to where she needs to go, and try to understand what she needs to do and how she'll be able to get there since her memory is not on her side. She gets taken away and finds herself in a tank somewhere where she meets a strange, camouflaging and cranky octopus named Hank (Ed O'Neill) who, selflessly tries to help her get to where she needs to go. As long as they have a deal that Hank can get to where he needs to go.

The movie spends a lot of time jumping back and forth between Marlin and Nemo trying to find Dory, Dory and Hank trying to find the place where her parents were, and the many flashbacks that randomly occur due to the fact that Dory would stare at something that looks familiar and she would have a recollection as to where she has seen that before.

What did strike me the most was how...underwhelming I found this adventure. There was something lacking in this movie that the previous movie had, and that was the heart-tugging emotions that the first movie captures so well due to an intense build-up right to an uplifting pay-off. When Dory finally finds her parents, the way the scene was executed, given how much build-up there was in the first two acts, was not as emotional as I wanted it to be. Dory just finds a place that looks familiar to when she was a child, and then she turns around, and there they are, her parents are just right behind her, and I understand that it was supposed to be an emotional scene, but I didn't feel as overjoyed as I should have, and Pixar is usually good at doing this.

Plus, throughout the entire first two acts of the film, everything seems to happen conveniently... whenever Dory would just stare at something, it would lead her somewhere, whenever she met a character, that would lead her somewhere too. This film is like a puzzle that just solves itself rather than requiring a person to solve it in the first place.

The best characters in this movie are Hank, not forgetting Destiny (Kaitlin Olson) and Bailey (Ty Burrell) who provide a lot of laughs and are worthy characters in the Pixar household. But overall, 'Finding Dory' is a charming family film, children will love it, adults who have seen and loved 'Finding Nemo' (2003) like I did will have a soft spot for it surely. I can't help but feel that maybe this story would have worked better as a short film in the vein of 'Tangled Ever After' (2012) and 'Frozen Fever' (2015), just giving you a glimpse of what happened after 'Finding Nemo' (2003) instead of giving us a feature length sequel.… Expand

I wish that there were more memorable characters with back stories that go deeper than just one line of dialogue explaining their relationship to Dory. I also feel like some scenes were added for either pure action or nostalgia to Finding Nemo, but did virtually nothing for the plot it was trying to go for. Finally I think that the pace o this movie is just so fast. it was difficult for me to really get engaged with some scenes at the beginning mainly because the movie spends so little time with them. Luckily it evens out near the end of the film. But even with these issues, Finding Dory manages to be a memorable and heartwarming tale that will satisfy both children and adults with great humor and a decent story that tends to get really deep at some points.… Expand

The animation is nicely improved over the original and the new characters are simply lovable. Dory is able to be the new protagonist and the backstory she's given is inspiring and heartwarming. The film's message about disability and how to deal with it is great. This shows very cleverly that someone who suffers from something can overcome it and live a normal life, just with a little extra help. Dory's memory problem; which was comic relief in the first movie; is now treated as a major problem that her and the other characters have to deal with. Most, especially Dory's parents, treat Dory the right way. They never gave up on her and found clever ways to make Dory remember certain things. Both Dory and her parents should be commended for the way they deal with their problems. The saying, "just keep swimming" is a simple, but very effective message. The fact that disability is even mentioned, let alone fully explored, is great in itself and demonstrates why Pixar is one of the best animation studios in the world. They're able to make beautiful films that have great characters and that tackle thought provoking issues; while still being funny and emotional.

Dory is no different. The old characters make nice cameo appearances and the new ones; especially Hank the octopus; could have their own spinoff movie. Many scenes are simply hilarious, especially one towards the end that had me laughing for over a minute. This definitely is more goofy over Finding Nemo, but like classic Pixar, there still many scenes that will make you tear up. There are also many scenes that were quite tense and suspenseful. The end credits song by Sia is also wonderful and sums up the feeling of this movie quite well. However, there are two major problems with Finding Dory that really set it back. First, the plotting of Dory was very clunky. There were some points that I felt that the movie was going to end and the way the plot progresses is somewhat contrived. At times, characters literally say nothing but the emotion is a bit forced, not earned. In addition, no matter how many things this movie got right, I always felt the sense throughout the runtime that this was made only to make a profit for Disney. It feels like there was no need for this to even be made in the first place, like Monsters University.

Overall, Finding Dory is clunky, contrived, and really only made to make money. Nonetheless, this "cash grab" is beautiful, emotional, and thought provoking with fine new characters and a unique story. Dory is no where near Pixar's best, but ranks similar to Monsters University and The Good Dinosaur. Although somewhat unnecessary, it's very good nonetheless.… Expand

Similar to Cars 2 and Monsters University,Finding Dory is the sequel to Finding Nemo and I was super worried going into this movie back in 2016. I was pleasantly surprised that the movie was good, but it's definitely no "Finding Nemo". Similar to Cars 2 and Monsters University, PIXAR takes the secondary character Dory and gives her the spotlight. In Finding Nemo, I already thought Dory was a great character, and in this one, she proves herself to be even more likable, which is big praise. The other characters, minus Hank the septopus, are a bit bland and I don't have much good or bad to say about them. The story works really well for me, and the animation once again is stunning. I am very impressed at how realistic the water and ocean look and the way they can make characters move naturally. My biggest issues with the film are the humor and the ending. The humor in this film is not even close to the level of Finding Nemo which happened to be an extremely funny film as well as touching. This movie has some of that but the emotional levels are not as high, not really even close. And the ending is just insane. It is just pure lunacy, kind of hilarious, but not in a great way. It's this climax that makes me not want to rewatch the film in the first place but I did anyway because I was curious to see how I feel about it now. Then the movie ends about five minutes after this crazy event takes place which was very abrupt and frankly sloppy for PIXAR. Luckily this is overall a surprise and a mostly fun movie that I'm glad wasn't awful at all. Finding Dory is a good PIXAR film, but at this point in time, PIXAR was in another slump again.… Expand

OK--we get it. She has short-term memory issues. But we got it in Finding Nemo and we got it in the first 10 minutes of Finding Dory. The writing was not strong enough or clever enough to sustain a movie this long. And, short-term memory issues aside, the message is affirming to Dory but disconcerting as a "life lesson": as long as you're lucky, being headstrong and impulsive will save the day! Pixar no doubt has other great movies in the pipeline, but for now, Finding Dory is a faint shadow of great Pixar movies like The Incredibles, Ratatouille, the Toy Story trilogy and Finding Nemo.

The main idea for the motto "Just keep swimming" is becoming more comprehensible as it tells us that it represents hope, perseverance, and determination. As quoted from the Bible Roman 5:3-4, “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” It is a great comparison to a quote we'll never forget. Finding Dory was a magical, enjoyable, and entertaining movie, but it lacked some key elements that it's predecessor possessed. It wasn't as charming or emotional as I thought it was going to be. I thought that Dory's oblivious behavior kind of took away the emotional point of the movie. But it was nice to see Marlin and Nemo reunite as a family and not trying to look for each other. What I did like the most about Finding Dory was that it was not just about Dory finding her parents; no it was about Dory finding who she was and if she had a purpose in life. Finding Dory deserves a 6/10 rating from me. :)… Expand

- Finding Dory is fine, it passes the time, succeeds technically and artistically and pleases the kids. If you enjoy animation go see this movie, you'll enjoy it, if not, you might wanna pass.

Long Form (mild spoilers)
-This movie is fun and has decent character development, but what I found to be this films greatest weakness was how much it panders the the fact that it is a sequel. It suffers from extreme plot conveniences that wear thin quickly, and then keep on going under the mask of gags. For instance when setting out on the journey in the first act it instantly cuts to the characters traveling in a current with Crush. The entire plot of the first movie shows how hard it is to find somebody in the ocean, and yet they find Crush off-screen. These instances are forgivable, but the first half of the movie has far to many of these, and as a result, feels to convenient to be believable, which took me out of the story.

-The weakest part of this movie was the first act by far, after that point the story really broadens out, introducing fun, interesting characters whom I enjoyed far more then Marlin and Nemo, who have transitioned into fairly flat characters.

-Unlike the first movie there is much less variation in sets, as most of the movie takes place in the same location, but the art department at Pixar has done a decent job creating variation in these places without losing that aquarium feel

-There was a major punch this movie had going in the second act, but it pulled it largely because it's a kids movie, but it would have earned endless respect from me if it went through with it

-Onto the Big one, the animation is fantastic, and I would recommend the movie on this alone, The octopus character is fantastically animated, and reminds me of solid snake from the metal gear series, giving him endless charm. Although I wish they gave a reason for his fear of the ocean, but I understand that they did not want to as he is just a side character. The characters all look fantastic, the sets are great, and lighting did a great job, despite that fact that several scenes take place in locations that would have no light, such as inside a pipe, but most people wont care of this lapse in logic.

-Interestingly Pixar have recently gone down the route of avoiding having any major villains in their films, having the "Man VS Nature" and "Man Vs Self" kinda narrative, which is fine, but it made the films climax not have the weight it had like in Finding Nemo

-Overall Finding Dory did its job, but early on it beats you over the head with the fact that it is a sequel, and suffers from plot conveniences and a quick ending, which detracts from the experience… Expand

The storyline was slightly inferior to the first, but that can be expected in a sequel. The movie blends emotional parts with humor pretty well, but the humor is hit or miss, split about 70/30 really funny to “why did they put that in there?”. The dialogue wasn’t great, with quite a few clichés. The tone of voices that the actors used were out of place noticeably some times. In other words, bad acting in an animated film, no easy task.

The story, script, characterizations, everything was just slipshod and lacking in the quality we all expect from Pixar. That it was directed by Andrew Stanton makes no sense to me, because normally his films have a polished look and feel to them, and with the exception of maybe one or two revelatory moments, that is simply not the case here. This is his weakest cinematic effort thus far, and I blame Pixar's storyboard-by-committee approach 100%. Whereas one of Finding Nemo's strengths was in its realism (remember how tough it was for those fish to find a way out of that fish tank??), in this film the characters become involved in ridiculous set-pieces where the audience is asked to suspend a HUGE amount of disbelief in order to accept what's happening on-screen. Without spoiling anything I will say that there were far too many scenes where I was asked to turn my brain off, or was straight-up reminded that I was watching a kids' movie that can pick and choose whenever it wants to be taken seriously, rather than something that actually makes an effort at immersing the audience, or at least attempting to immerse the audience, in a semi-believable universe.

Also, the writing is weak. The story takes some very predictable turns towards the end, the dialogue is nothing special, and very few characters from the original film return. Marlin and Nemo have hardly anything to do and the film IMO places way too much emphasis on Dory, with maybe one too many unneeded flashbacks, and going so far as to spend far too much screen time milking the character's journey for emotion. Of course it's going to be a tough emotional journey getting one's memories back, but that doesn't mean the writing and plot have to progress at such a slow pace. Also, Ellen DeGeneres gives her heart and soul into the performance, but Dory as written is really not all that compelling. There was clearly a missed opportunity here for real character development.

The single best part of the movie is Hank the octopus, hands-down. He's not only the coolest character in both these films, he's one of the more memorable Pixar characters in the last decade. Sadly, the film is not about Hank and he is only a supporting character. The sea lions were great as well. "Gerald!"

I woke up the next day wondering what went wrong, and why this film seems to be so critic-proof when there are so many issues with it. Sure, there are some decent emotional scenes and two or three laugh-out-loud moments (including one gag that nearly had me rolling on the floor), but for the most part this film is boring, sloppy, predictable, and utterly lacking in the wonder, world-building, and emotion of the original, much superior Finding Nemo. O Pixar, how the mighty have fallen...… Expand

It's animation and voicework is top shelf and its charm is undeniable, but it's story feels poorly paced and forced. The exposition is unbelievably dense; never has a Pixar film had so many characters spend so much time talking about what they're thinking or how they feel. Dory is tiresome whenever she's centre stage and the lack of adult wit makes it not feel to dissimilar to an Ice Age outing.

By all means see it and enjoy it, but this is far from Pixar at their best.… Expand

I don't know my reasons, just didn't want to see a spin-off to something I couldn't care less about. Of course I gave in and finally watched it. And my judgment I had with the film sadly came true after seeing it.

I mean, it's cute and harmless with some humor that I did laugh at. However, with it being a year since it's release, this existing doesn't feel necessary. Pretty forgettable as no one is talking about it (expect for me). In terms of creativity and surprising me, it felt kinda held back. I didn't get that emotional punch that you would expect from Pixar.… Expand

Even with lowered expectations, this was disappointing. As long as the film stays in the sea, it is a cute if, erm, shallow adventure/roots story. But when it gets into the human world, which is most of the time, it runs into trouble. GoodEven with lowered expectations, this was disappointing. As long as the film stays in the sea, it is a cute if, erm, shallow adventure/roots story. But when it gets into the human world, which is most of the time, it runs into trouble. Good storytelling must seem true to its world; the world of the characters in Finding Nemo was totally "believable" and true. But the way these character act out of water does not seem "real" or true at all-- it seems like screenwriters struggling to fill time and buy laughs. Too many bad memory jokes. Too many "No way that could happen" moments-- even in a story with talking fish. Should have been released without the Pixar name, as was Planes.… Expand

The story is so lacking and such a disappointment. It honestly felt like a total rehash of the original 'Finding Nemo' which I love. The fact that Nemo and Marlin are in the movie at all are completely unnecessary and have no purpose in the film and take away from what character development we could have with other characters.

'Finding Nemo' was just one of those films that did not need a sequel and the most interesting thing about this movie was seeing Ellen DeGeneres reprise the role of Dory once again. Sorry, Finding Dory, you just didn't have what I wanted in the sequel to 'Finding Nemo'.… Expand

Boring, goes on to long, nothing like the original Finding Nemo, not very imaginative. Storyline was terrible, didn't keep the kids attention during the movie much less mine.

In a 21st century Hollywood that is full of sequels, prequels, and remakes, it's not that much of a surprise that we would finally get another trip to the ocean blue to see some of those familiar faces from 13 years ago in Finding Nemo. Most of the familiar faces return and it's nice to see them again. There are times when this movie will pluck at the heartstrings, but this effort feels a little lackluster overall.

As expected, Dory is the protagonist this time around. The character of Dory was funny and fresh in Nemo, but this time it gets old really quick. She has short term memory loss, which we are all aware of at this point, but the movie tends to repeat the same dialogue and Dory's act gets extremely repetitive. Marlin and Nemo aren't really in the movie enough, but the new characters are well done. Ed O'Neill does a great job as Hank the octopus. He really contrasts greatly with Dory and their time on screen is executed nicely.

The problems with Dory are annoying, but probably an even bigger movie killer for me is the lack of a real interesting plot. This is basically an extension of Finding Nemo and is supposed to take place right after the events of the first film. Not much happens here. Some of the scenes are borderline ridiculous and left me wondering what I was watching at times. Even with a brief 97 minute runtime, I still felt bored during the film at times.

In conclusion, Finding Dory is cute. It's worth a watch, but it is not near the film it is acclaimed to be or up to the lofty standards of Pixar.… Expand

With the exception of Ellen "Why doesn't she do more movies" DeGeneres, the voice acting is lifeless, the character designs are obvious and kiddy, and the writing and direction seem flat out lazy.

That brilliant hit trend started to turn south in my eyes starting about 4-5 years ago. This latest is finely animated of course and the detail like always is pretty amazing. However the story is a flat out bore top to bottom! Talk about retread. It's an uninspired sequel.
At the same time I can understand the problem for Pixar now. The novelty of 3D computer animation has worn off and since they make all family fare, just how many cute coming of age tales can you spin and keep it fresh, much less going to the vault for obvious money maker sequels whether they warrant making because they have actual new stories to tell? Don't think having a deep sea fish story wind up in a car chase on land is the real answer. Sure it's fun and just fine for most young children, but can adults say in truth they were entertained by this? That it is original and clever like so many of Pixar's past efforts have been? Hardly.

However, the pre-feature short "Piper" is a wonderful piece of state-of-the-art animation with a simple minimal little nature story told succinctly and briefly that is impossible not to be impressed by. Made me wonder if they actually photographically shot the sand granules or they were 100% digitally conjured? If so the animated look here has reached yet another new threshold.… Expand

In the universe of animated cinema, it has been established that a good supporting character in a film that has been a success (box office and critical) will, sooner or later, be entitled to her own film. I could name several examples ofIn the universe of animated cinema, it has been established that a good supporting character in a film that has been a success (box office and critical) will, sooner or later, be entitled to her own film. I could name several examples of this. Dory, a friendly marine creature with serious memory problems, was adorable in "Finding Nemo", and is the protagonist in this film, made specifically to exploit the character's popularity.

The script is relatively simple: after the events of the first film, Dory is living with her new friends, Marlin and Nemo, but she feels something is missing: she doesn't know where her family of origin is, she knows she's lost, and therefore decides to go in search of his own origins, which can be a challenge for a fish with a short memory. Of course, Nemo and Marlin will have to go in search of her when she disappears.

The movie works on the basis of how cute and likeable it can be because the script has little to give us, and it feels like only a partial rewrite of the first movie. There are several moments when the story rings false or seems to fray because it is so sparse, flaws that Pixar makes up for and hides with a high dose of cuteness. All the characters are cute, nice, the world is pink, and it seems incredible that no malevolent characters appear. In fact, the closest thing to a villain or a dubious character is a sly octopus, determined to get out of an aquarium, and who is a master at the art of camouflage.

The film is visually magnificent, Pixar quality, with excellent visual work, good CGI and magnificent drawings, vivid colors and a wonderful deep blue. It's a good movie for the family and especially if there are kids because there's nothing offensive. The original voice cast is much the same as in the first film, with Ellen DeGeneres standing out in the lead voice, closely followed by Albert Brooks and Kaitlin Olson.… Expand

I went to see it today not expecting much, but hoping for just a little Pixar magic. Unfortunately what I got was a big cliched cash in, full of obvious humor, obnoxiously over the top cutesy characters and a slapdash plot. I found all the characters to be mildly irritating and they had none of the charm they possessed in Finding Nemo.
It was such a half arsed, predictable story! It lacks every ounce of depth Nemo had. I know it's a kid's film (and I'm sure your kid is gonna like it) but that's what I used to love about Pixar! It was for everyone even us twenty somethings!
It's such an obvious money grab and it makes me really sad that Pixar is sinking to that. I've got a bad feeling about The Incredibles 2 and Toy Story 4.
There is one saving grace however!!! The short at the start was absolutely fantastic! It's by far the best Pixar short I would say and worth the price of my movie ticket even if the film itself isn't.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointing sequel which deserves hardly any of the effusive praise it's getting from the usual suspects in the paid press. Over-long, boringly repetitive in places, mawkish and topped off with a completely OTT finale involving an octopus driving a lorry - yes, you heard that correctly - which completely undermines the "reality" that the technical team have striven to achieve in terms of the visual presentation of the undersea world. By the way, when I go to see a cartoon, I expect my eyes to be assaulted by ultra-bright visuals, not dulled into somnolence by a murky, moss-green, kelp-strewn soup in which it becomes quite hard to make out what's going on in some scenes. Save your money and buy the DVD for a present for someone less discerning than yourself and wait for them to lend it to you to watch.… Expand
