So how does it compare against its predecessor? In its best moments, Dory is more emotional and funnier than its predecessor.
Ed O'Neill's octopus character Hank is also a great addition to the crew. My favorite new characters are definitely the trio of sea lions, played by Idris Elba, Dominic West and Torbin Xan Bullock, who had me laughing out loud more than a few times. And I'm sure that was part of the plan as I can only imagine the merchandising sales that will result from this film. They've found ways to organically include appearances from a lot of the major characters from the first film (although some just didn't fit story-wise) but kids (and adults alike) will leave the movie infatuated with the newest characters introduced in this adventure. And through this adventure across the ocean, Dory must find and accept herself. Like any great Pixar film, Finding Dory will physically jerk tears out of your eyes, seconds later making you laugh out loud while in admiration of its cleverness. Afraid that people will get annoyed or aggravated by her inherent flaw (her short term memory), Dory's cheerful and helpful personality is partially a mask, to help keep from being abandoned (again). Writer/director Andrew Stanton and co-director Angus MacLane smartly tapped into an aspect of Dory's character that may have been invisible to most of us. Yes, Marlin and Nemo are on the search for Dory, but its Dory's story which serves as the main narrative. While the film may be titled Finding Dory, the story is centered around Dory's adventure to return to her long lost home and reconnect with her parents who she got separated from as a child. Join me after the jump for a virtually spoiler-free reaction to Pixar's latest film.
yet somehow Finding Dory is a fun, rewarding emotional journey. Did we need a sequel to Finding Nemo? No. We're re-running it now that the film is in theaters.įinding Dory is an example of why we should never underestimate Pixar. Note: We originally ran Peter's Finding Dory review on June 10.
