Nothing soulless about this one

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2017)

Because of the studio's recent emphasis on sequels (prequels, what-have-you), I'm in the habit of selling PIXAR movies short. And "Finding Dory" was no exception; my expectations were admittedly low. But the filmmakers quickly reminded me of why I liked "Nemo" so much, and I was on board from there.
It's a lively adventure movie, briskly paced and boasting worthy additions to the cast. It maintains the gorgeous ocean visuals of the original and there's something genuinely heartfelt about the story. A classic family theme is sufficient, but the real message is extremely touching and appropriately subtle: teaching kids how to live with a disability.
There was just no disliking this movie.
7/10
