"Fin"-tastic Sequel! (Pun-intended)

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2019)

For a sequel, this movie is actually really good. The voice acting is still great, the animation is more impressive than ever before, Dory's character development has increased, and the humor is still hilarious. We get to see Nemo, Marlin, Dory, the Tank Gang (even while their roles are rather small), and the sea turtles once again after such a long time. Not only that, but we were also introduced to new characters, such as Hank the cranky but good-hearted octopus, Destiny the nearsighted whale shark, Bailey the beluga whale with the inability to echolocate because of his big head until the big climax, the sea lions, Becky the offbeat, kooky loon, and of course Dory's parents.
There are also hilarious moments, like Hank hijacking the van, a fish suddenly sneezing after saying "I feel fantastic!", that running gag where Fluke and Rudder shout "OFF! OFF! OFF!", Destiny and Bailey making puns out of each other's names, and the entire touch pool scene.
It's been 13 years since the original movie was released and I waited so patiently for it, and I gotta admit that it was worth it. Dory's backstory was really emotional, and it was great for those who have remembered or forgotten something, and it plays like a big adventure just like the original movie. It was kinda harsh that Marlin blamed Dory for almost getting Nemo attacked by a squid, which she didn't remember, and told him to just forget. Ouch! Otherwise, great sequel! :)
9.5/10
