Viewers will want Dory to “just keep swimming” until she finds happiness. “Finding Dory” truly sinks or swims based on DeGeneres, and luckily her heartfelt performance makes Dory a well-rounded character that audiences can cheer for and sympathize with instead of just comic relief. The comedienne switches emotions with ease throughout the film, going from cheerful and friendly to sad and scared in seconds whenever the script calls for it. Of course, the true star of the film is DeGeneres, who once again perfectly plays Dory. ![]() There’s a recurring joke, too, involving the marine center and the vocal talents of a Hollywood A-lister that adults are sure to enjoy. The aquarium setting also sets up one hilarious scene that, without giving anything away, will make older viewers think twice about ever visiting a touch tank again with their children. ![]() While having Dory encounter several other animals with physical and mental limitations might seem a bit odd in the wild, since she’s at a rehabilitation center, the traits seem don’t seem that out of the ordinary. The fact that many of the film’s characters, like the cranky “septopus” Hank (voiced by Ed O’Neill, “Modern Family”) and the nearsighted whale shark Destiny (voiced by Kaitlin Olson, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), are dealing with a disability like Dory and Nemo (who viewers might recall has one fin that’s smaller than the other) is also a nice touch, as it shows younger viewers who might be living with a disability of their own that they shouldn’t let that define what they can accomplish in life. BUY FINDING DORY MOVIE MOVIEAlthough fans may notice some similarities between the two films-for instance, the possessive seagulls from the first movie are replaced in “Finding Dory” with territorial sea lions-for the most part the sequel isn’t a complete rehash of “Finding Nemo,” as the trailers suggest. That one detail alone makes the film stand apart from its predecessor, providing a wealth of new characters and scenarios for Dory to encounter while searching for her parents. ![]() Rather than the big ocean blue being the setting for most of the film, the majority of “Finding Dory” actually takes place at “the jewel of Morro Bay,” which turns out to be the marine rehabilitation center and aquarium where Dory once lived. Determined to find the mother (voiced by Diane Keaton) and father (voiced by Eugene Levy) she got separated from as a child, Dory sets off to “the jewel of Morro Bay, California”-with a little help from Marlin and Nemo so they can remind her where she’s going. Ray (Bob Peterson), Dory bangs her head, which causes her to remember some details about her past-mainly, that she has a family of her own that misses her. One day, while “supervising” a class field trip with Mr. Audiences catch up with the friendly-yet-forgetful blue tang fish that now lives next to the clownfish father and son. While the beloved animated adventure’s long-awaited sequel, “Finding Dory,” may not live up to the high standards Pixar set for itself with “Toy Story 2” and “Toy Story 3,” it’s still a charming, beautifully told tale that was well worth the wait.Īlthough more than a decade has passed in real life, “Finding Dory” takes place just a year after Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) met Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) and Nemo (now voiced by Hayden Rolence). It’s hard to believe it’s been 13 years since “Finding Nemo” first swam into audiences’ hearts.
