OK, but not up to the expectations

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2016)

Watched this with kids in 2D. We are a big fan of Pixar in general and Finding Nemo in particular. It was rich in story, characters and visuals.
We enjoyed this one but I found it to be a lighter effort from Pixar. Story itself did not impress. Characters were a bit meh. Dory has a prominent role but both Marlin and Nemo felt like cameos. Both the sharks (?) were dull. The Octopus and the Sea Lions were the only bright characters. Visuals were OK but the setting itself was kind of grimy, so nothing memorable there. The story was serviceable but nothing great.
All in all, an average effort but nothing great. Perfectly fine to catch this on video.
