People of faith will undoubtedly make comparisons to Dory being a sort of prodigal child as found in Luke 15. In many ways, Finding Dory is a simple tale of someone (a fish) being lost who found their way home. Especially amusing is Sigourney Weaver who plays herself in a delightfully witty cameo…well, sort of. Swimming along for her waterlogged adventures are the playfully British sea lion duo Fluke and Rudder, and Hank, an overbearing, cynical octopus who is singularly focused on finding his way to Cleveland.
For every quip she made in Finding Nemo like, “My point and I do have one”, has now been refocused on new declarations like, “Just keep swimming.”Īlready bulging at the seams with funny, memorable characters from the first movie, a few more have been added into the mix for Finding Dory. Far fewer jokes are devoted to Dory and her constant distractions.

With the plot built around Dory’s special needs, the movie takes what many people don’t like to talk about and actually turns it into a strength. But will she find her parents?įor an animated feature, Finding Dory certainly digs deep.
Upon their arrival at the Monterey Marine Life Institute, Dory and company meet up with several characters including a clumsy, near-sighted whale shark (Kaitlin Olson, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), a pair of curmudgeonly sea lions (Idris Elba, The Jungle Book & Dominic West, 300), and a slightly grouchy octopus (Ed O’Neil, Wreck It Ralph) who becomes her tour guide. Accompanied by Marlin (Albert Brooks, Concussion) and Nemo (Hayden Rolance), she's determined to swim all the way across the Pacific Ocean to find her home. Overcome by her longing to reunite with her parents, Dory sets out to find her family. Eventually, Dory recalls something about “the jewel of Morro Bay, California”. The memories are filled with warm remembrances of her parents Charlie (Eugene Levy, Best in Show) and Jenny (Diane Keaton, The Big Wedding). This disability doesn’t seem to bother her until she suddenly starts having flashbacks to her childhood. Set six months after Finding Nemo, Dory is living her life like any other fish with one exception…she suffers from short-term memory loss.
Even so, Ellen DeGeneres’ portrayal of Dory flows with genuine warmth and likability. More offbeat than it’s wildly popular predecessor, Dory struggles at times to recapture Nemo’s spirit due to its sensitivity regarding disabilities. Fortunately, even Pixar’s sub-par films are better than what the competition usually serves up.įinding Dory is the poignantly sweet tale of Dory, an adult blue tang fish struggling with memory loss. Seeking to recapture the vast sentimental appeal of 2003’s Finding Nemo, this summer’s Finding Dory will attempt to swim in those waters. But that doesn’t mean they won’t try it again. Despite the enormous success of the Toy Story sequels, Disney and Pixar Studios have been hard pressed over the years to spin box office gold from repeat visits of it’s most lovable animated characters.
