Autistic Reviewers Opinion Of This Movie.

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2016)

We were both 50/50 on this movie. It could have very easily flopped. Good news is it never does that. While it is not perfection it definitely is a worthy sequel. All the voice cast return (excluding Alexander Gould, who would be too old to voice Nemo now.) Ellen Degeneres returns to do the voice of the annoying, but lovable Dory, Albert Brooks returns to voice Marlin. In this one, however, Marlin and Nemo are both supporting actors and just there to give Dory a helping hand whenever she loses her memory or is in trouble. Dory is the lead this time round.
We all know the plot...Dory trying to find her parents. The film does introduce us to brand new characters, including the self centered, cranky octopus by the name of Hank (voiced by Ed O Neil). Let's not forget about Dory's lovable, childhood whale friend. All of them get plenty of screen time and no one gets little screen time.
The film has loads of flashbacks to Dory's childhood and how he struggled to fit in with the crowd, but at the same time did not care about her short term memory loss problem and loved just being happy and had no plan and would just do whatever she wanted and whatever came her way.
We all knew it wasn't going to be the classic "Finding Nemo." However, it's a very worthy sequel. Funny, heart warming, and very charming. Take the kids and family to watch it, you'll have a great time. 4/5 stars. 8/10- Autistic Reviewers.
