Finding Dory (2016)


Finding Dory is the sequel to Finding Nemo, and as the title suggests, it focuses on Dory.  Taking place one year later from the first film, Dory suddenly remembers something about her parents and sets off with Martin and Nemo to find them.  The premise isn't as strong as Finding Nemo and neither are the set pieces.  It doesn't quite capture the same charm.  However, the animation is amazing, it looks really from the light gleaming off the water to the tiny sand particles.  The trio meets various familiar characters who feel as if they were put into the film just for nostalgic reasons.  The new characters are not all likable but will eventually grow on you.  One of the neat things is how this sequel fits into the Dory that we know from the original film and builds upon it.  A few of the jokes are worn and tired but overall, Finding Dory is an above average film but you really do feel that Disney Pixar are creating sequels just for the sake of creating sequels as it definitely lacks the same amount of originality as the first.
