Adoryble

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2016)

This is my review of Finding Dory (spoiler free)
***** (5/5)
Cast: Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brookes, Ed O'Neill, Kailtlin Olson, Hayden Rolence
Plot: The friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish reunites with her loved ones, and everyone learns a few things about the real meaning of family along the way.
Let's spare a thought for the bazillionaires at Pixar and duty they have done to make marvelous masterpieces, also the amount of Oscars they have won over the past 20+ years. Finding is just one of the many sequels to come over the next few years like Toy Story 4 (2018 was 2017) and Cars 3 (2017), this isn't like the Monsters Inc. sequel that wasn't really a sequel and also wasn't very good. This however even though it is set 1 year after Nemo gets his father but really that was 13 years ago. It isn't often that Pixar make flops unlike last year's The Good Dinosaur but other than that not many Pixar are just one of the few film companies to actually make brilliant films.
We all know who Dory is at this point she is a blue tang fish with a little bit of a curse she forgets everything and it's not her fault but we go along with it anyway and she has grown in popularity ever since Andrew Stanton's Finding Nemo came out, for some the director wanted to take a spin on live-action so then he made John Carter back in 2012, which saw a huge drop in the box office. The first we see on the screen is Dory living alongside Marlin (Brookes who is still as stern as ever) and Nemo (Newcomer Hayden Rolence) who is outstanding as Nemo but not as good the previous Nemo, played by Alexander Gould now 22 years old. Dory lives alongside their vicious anemone (such a hard word to say) Dory has dream of remembering her family in her mixed up way. As usual DeGeneres was an excellent choice for Dory, so then we see that dream of when she was a baby when you see baby Dory it will just make you go "awww" at how cute she is because she is adoryble. That dream sequence along with many other sequences in the film is one of the best.
Off she goes to find her parents and even with a few flashbacks along the way, she meets all sorts of new characters in the film and they are all amazing in their own way, the friend she keeps for some time is an angry cephalopod Hank voiced brilliantly by Ed O'Neill he helps her find her family and the story just plays beautifully from there, She also thinks of a new creature for Hank she calls him a Septopus because he has lost one tentacle, the two get along so well and is another list of lovable creatures for you add to the Pixar list which might be getting a bit full at the moment.
Not only doe you see the film from Dory's point of view but also Marlin and Nemo's point of view. From then on of course there are a few silly moments which is to be expected the most silly part which you will probably laugh at, are the lazy Sea-lions Flubber and Rudder resting on a rock voiced by the wonderful Idris Elba who has changed his way from playing Shere Khan in Jungle Book (2016) he and his friend Rudder (Dominic West) are just wonderful and they change the story so much.
Other characters she meets are Destiny and Bailey (Kaitlin Olson and Ty Burrell) they are to whales that she meets and conveniently Dory helps Destiny to swim and as for the criticizing Bailey who isn't much help at all is always bring her down, these two characters are just charming and lovable everything they do just makes the story a whole lot more to watch and to enjoy. Throughout this Pixar sequel you're never bored and it doesn't suffer the fate as many other sequelitis in fact this is just as good as Finding Nemo way back in 2003 which only if you a teenager in your late teens you will remember Nemo, and the brilliance that, that was back then.
Dory finally sees her family again voiced by the remarkable Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton, then of course she has to save the day again and this possibly is the most human Pixar sequel ever and when it ends you'll clapping your hands and begging for an encore. Pixar is back and it's here to stay.
Verdict: An adoryble sequel with plenty of charm and lovable characters another masterpiece from the geniuses at Pixar, well done guys. Oscars 2017 anyone? 10/10 a charming delight.
