We waited over 10 years to see the sequel and it was totally worth it.
Summary:
We see Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), the friendly blue tang fish from the first film, back when she was a big-eyed toddler with a babyish gurgle, getting trained by her parents, Charlie (Eugene Levy) and Jenny (Diane Keaton), to tell a stranger, “I suffer from short-term memory loss.” The thing is, poor Dory really does — she has a hard time even remembering this phrase! Just like that, the character that made us laugh so much comes at us in a whole new direction. She’s no longer a silly amnesiac, she’s a baby fish with a serious disability.
Dory soon drifts away from her parents, and not just because she doesn’t know how to get back to them. She can barely remember that she has parents. Our past favourites Nemo (Hayden Rolence) and his dad join dory on her venture to find her parents and to help her battle against her memory loss. Can Dory find herself, and her parents successfully?
Conclusion:
Finding Dory was brilliantly executed. I can not rave about it enough. Every little shtick about Dory in Finding Nemo is explained in this sequel such as why she repeats “Just keep swimming”, how does she know how to talk to Whales and how she bumped into Marlin in the first place. The new characters we meet in this sequel such as Destiny the whale (Kaitlin Olson) and Hank the octopus (Ed O'Neill) are just as loveable the characters we met 13 years ago. This film will make you laugh out loud with quirky jokes and even make you shed a few tears when the thought of Dory never finding her parents hits you hard. It was worth the wait and worth the money to see it in 3D in theatres.
