Forget me not

Rating: 5/10 (27 April 2017)

Finding Nemo was a big hit with kids and adults alike and led to a surge of interest in clown-fish.
Finding Dory is set a year after the events of the first film, as the forgetful Dory, a blue tang fish gets flashbacks to her early fish years in Morro Beach, California and strives to find her parents.
Marlon and Nemo assist her but they soon become separated and a lot of the action is set in an Aquarium with narration by Sigourney Weaver. There Dory meets Hank the Octopus who is a master of camouflage and reluctantly decides to help Dory in her quest.
It is clear to see how much the CGI animation has improved since Finding Nemo, but this sequel is less charming and also has less originality. Too many scenes are contrived so you see familiar faces or have Dory getting flashbacks with her parents. The finale with a truck chase sequence is just far fetched.
My kids enjoyed the movie and found parts of it emotional as well. Interest in clown-fish will still be around for a few more years.
