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.

This is easily the best non-Toy Story Pixar sequel but y'all aren't ready for that conversation

A CARTOON OF SOME FISH MADE ME CRY

While I am totally against Pixar's recent sequel phase, I think this film gets much more hate than it deserves. Really well done besides some of the excessive Nemo references in the beginning. Loved it.

finding dory > citizen kane

It's kind of funny to say, but when I was kid, I used to find Dory incredibly annoying for whatever apparent reason when watching Finding Nemo everytime I saw it. This film though, definitely disproves that and naturally makes Dory much more lovable than she already is.

Her character arc here is one of the best and the entire premise of miraculously finding her parents may make it seem like a redo of the Finding Nemo, I can't lie that this animated feature is absolutely hilarious and has phenomenal emotional beats about family almost like the first. It may not be flawless like other Pixar flicks, but it's consistently great to see one of several of my favorite Pixar characters get expanded upon even if it's unnecessary just like some other Pixar sequels. They make it work though, miraculously enough to make it excellent throughout.

that slow-mo scene with "what a wonderful world" playing in the background > quentin tarantino's pulp fiction (1994)

It was good.

What could have been a throwaway sequel turned out to be a solid chracter piece. It recontextualizes Dory's shprt term memory loss into an allegory for nurodivergence. Dory doesnt find a cure for it but she does learn how to live with it. It may seem like a step down from the ocean to an aquarium. The smaller scale keeps the focus solely on Dory and her struggles. It isn't as good as the first film but I am glad it exists for how it handled disabilities.

Finding Dory was a great follow-up to Finding Nemo. The character of Dory was very funny, and I thought most of the charm of the original remained. However, this movie had a huge issue with it. The film is partially about the celebration of developmental diversity, and it does a good job with the main character of empowerment rather than portraying her as a helpless victim that cannot take care of herself. The side characters with developmental diversity on the other hand are used as the punchline for the film. This was definitely whiplashed messaging.

Achei ok

Uma continuação incrível do Neto.
OOOObrigaaaadooooo

this shit was fucking ass

"There's no way out. It's over. They're going to fish jail!"

No one does family entertainment like Pixar does.

it’s Free Willie all over again

J’ai passé un très bon moment devant Dory ! C'était mignon comme tout, drôle et divertissant. Certes un peu pompé sur Nemo mais le cœur y est, on ne peut pas le nier. Beaucoup de jolies scènes et le duo Hank/Doris est priceless !

Very funny and emotional but sometimes too sappy. Story takes a little to get going but once they get to the aquarium it really takes off.
