It’s official: Pixar is corrupting our children. Thanks to “Finding Dory,” a new generation of impressionable kids — many of whom were too young to be properly indoctrinated by the mediocrity of “Cars 2” and “Monsters University” — will grow up thinking that sequels can be good, natural things that shouldn’t be protested against on principle (it’s “Adam and Eve,” not “Adam and Adam 2: Genisys”!). These innocent souls are too sheltered to appreciate how much of an anomaly this is in a year that’s already punished audiences with blockbuster cash-ins like “London Has Fallen” and “Alice Through the Looking Glass.” But now, thanks to the monsters behind Pixar’s latest and best sequel in years, the leaders of tomorrow across the world will come of age with the delusional belief that sequels aren’t de facto cash-ins, but rather films that are capable of retroactively adding new dimensions to beloved originals.

It's time to go find Dory, in this cleverly titled sequel to PIXAR's Finding Nemo.
I'm in no way attached to Finding Nemo. I grew up with Ghostbusters, Goonies, and Breakfast Club. I literally give zero fucks if Nemo gets eaten by a shark or not. But, I do understand Nemo is a heartwarming story of a father's journey to find his lost son. But, I'm not a heartless bastard. I do like the ganja smokin' turtle, Crush, and I'm glad he makes an appearance in Finding Dory.
Now, Finding Dory might be lighthearted fun, but it does have an important message. I know a lot of my audience sometimes feels fuckin' blue. Life might seem unfair. You're going through…

Well! I'll be damned!
Here I was thinking that I just growing out of Pixar, since I've been left with nothing but disappointment in their last few efforts ("Inside Out", "The Good Dinosaur", etc) and what with the very idea of a follow up to one of my favorite films of all time was already a tip off to lack of creative ideas under the hood.
Yet for a film that practically has no real reason to exist, "Finding Dory" is not just probably my biggest surprise of the year, it might be my favorite effort from the studio in recent memory (no pun intended), with a surprising amount of thematic depth and character weight to keep it above the…

Why oh why did we receive a Cars sequel before a follow-up to Finding Nemo? What could have possibly gone through Pixar's collective heads that made them sincerely believe that a sequel centered on a hillbilly tow truck would be demanded by audiences sooner than a continuation of arguably one of their most beautiful films? I guess I don't mind so much that Pixar has been trending lately by creating sequels to their original films instead of creating all-new original stories (with obvious exceptions), but they really should be careful so as not to make them nostalgia-focused cash grabs and actually memorable sequels. I had some fears that Finding Dory would simply be a rehash of the first film, and…

Perhaps what Pixar should be looking for is for original ideas.
Even though there has been a few movies that aren't related to any past work, the last era of Disney Pixar has been dominated by a majority of precuels and secuels.
On one side I think is sort of understandable to choose doing this since it's easier to reach an audience that has already been generated, yet it demonstrates that the company's priority isn't making valuable art, but anything that brings more cash to their pockets.
Finding Dory is a charming movie, however, it doesn't show us anything remarkable or worth remembering. It's, like many of their latest projects, another forgettable secuel. -

It's been awhile since I watched this but I still remember how much I loved it and it made me cry! I remember loving the disability rep being on point with Dory and her bad memory. I need to re-watch this so I can do a more proper review.

A lot like The Predator in the sense that the writers or editors or wranglers or whoever had to work overtime to figure out how to get a bunch of characters that had no business being in a certain place into that place at the right time every time. Totally nonsensical structure, which isn’t a criticism, so much as an observation.
I didn’t plan to watch this today but noticed it only had 2 days left on the planner watchlist and tomorrow is a no go, so it was now or never. Never woulda been better. I was waiting for it to end almost before it showed the title.
It has some heart but I got no love for this…

It's hard to beat a classic but this comes ever so close. Protect that little blue fish at all costs.
