Not a Disney-Pixar movie for children

Rating: 4/10 (15 August 2016)

I went to the cinema today with a very happy and excited 5 and a 7 year old to see Finding Dory on their school vacation, and came out of the movies with both of them red-eyed and crying.
I loved Finding Nemo, it is a beautiful movie that I've watched time and time again, and I couldn't wait to see this sequel. Worse case scenario for me was this movie would be bad because it was a repeating the story-line of Nemo, but I was not expecting it would be because Disney Pixar took this movie to a sad and upsetting place.
The movie started with story-line based around a young fish Dory with a memory loss illness, loosing her parents (a young kids worst nightmare). All of the characters had a scary odd feel around them, even the ones who were supposed to be Dory's friends and helping her, came across terrifying. This movie had no laughter, no fun, no cuteness, it was one hideous scary ride from one moment of peril to the next with no let-up. Touching on some real adult themes such as losing parents, illness and death... It was all too much for the children, and for me.
If someone had told me before I went to see the movie that Finding Dory would be scary and unsuitable for children I would have said they were being overly sensitive, or ridiculous, but sadly it's true.
