A Very Solid Sequel

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2016)

I was excited when I heard Pixar was working on a sequel to Finding Nemo. The first film was fantastic. My kids were both young when it was released and we watched it many, many times.
I was a little worried about the sequel not living up to the original. I don't think Pixar would ever be able to top Finding Nemo but they did a very nice job on this one. It was a fun movie with many people in the theater laughing quite a bit.
The movie is well paced and has a lot of interesting and funny characters. The octopus was a great new character. The young version of Dory was about the cutest fish you could imagine. She was about %75 eyes. Most of her body mass were just the massively cute eyeballs.
If you are looking for a good family movie and you liked the first one, go ahead and go for this one. I walked out of the theater feeling good about spending the money to see it. That is not always the case with me and movie theaters.
