Finding Dory


Finding Dory
Directed By: Andrew Stanton



The Story
Finding Dory is the perfect example of how a sequel should be done. It kept the magic and spark from the first movie, and then added new and exciting characters to the mix. The story is fun, exciting, and great for all the family, especially the little ones they will love it.

Movie Trivia;


Hank has only seven tentacles because the animators realized they could not fit eight onto his body. His backstory was rewritten to account for the missing limb.

Hayden Rolence replaces Alexander Gould as the voice of Nemo, due to having outgrown his original role since Finding Nemo (2003), though Gould does have a Cameo as Passenger Carl.

Finding Dory (2016) was first announced by Ellen DeGeneres, who voices Dory, on her talk show following a long campaign for a sequel.

The license plate on the truck is CALA113. "A113" appears in all Pixar movies, as a reference to the Cal Arts room where many of the animators of Pixar Studios attended.

The Characters
Even tho it was great seeing Nemo, Marlin, and Dory again, i really enjoyed the new characters too. Hank the Octopus, Destiny a near sighted whale shark, and Baily the Beluga whale were all great new additions that added some much loved humour to the movie, especially Hank he was great. I also enjoyed the gang of seals or sea lions (whatever they were) sitting on the rocks outside the aquarium, i thought they were pretty funny too. All the characters were spot on.



Movie Highlight
My movie highlight would have to be the movies story and location. I really enjoyed the whole aquarium idea, and thought it was a really nice touch. I also enjoyed the post credits scene too. It was a nice way of linking the two movies together a little more. P



My Verdict
Finding Dory was a really nice movie. It had lots of fun characters and lots of humour. My little boy actually enjoyed it more than Finding Nemo, and will no doubt play this movie out till the point of me hating every single minute of it. (Like many others).
