Finding Dory

The sequel to Pixar's 2003 hit, Finding Nemo, Finding Dory takes place a year after the end of the first film. In it, Dory starts to remember more of her past and sets out to California with Marlin and Nemo to help her find her parents. Once there, Dory is brought to a public aquarium that she was born in and gets help from an escaped octopus, a near sighted whale shark, and a beluga whale with a head injury. At first, because of the title and the idea one might think it's a complete retread of the first film, but that's only for the first few minutes of the film. Dory brings back some well known characters, while introducing a lot more new and very memorable ones. With a wonderful story, amazing visuals, a heartwarming ending, and well written characters Pixar once again delivers. One negative complaint I have is the constant times Dory, Nemo, and Marlin are reunited only to be separated by certain circumstances. The story of how Dory was separated from her family and reuniting with them, the introduction of the sea lions voiced by Idris Elba and Dominic West, the truck chase scene with Hank the octopus driving, and the small appearance of Crush and the other turtles are definite iconic moments. Over all: 97%
