How the hell do Pixar do it?

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2016)

After 13 years Pixar have been cooking up something amazing.
Finding Dory is the sequel to 2003's Finding Nemo (A Disney Classic). A year later Marlin, Nemo, and Dory are living peacefully together until Dory begins to remember her family and becomes determined to seek out her parents.
Directed by Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, A Bugs Life, WALL E), Pixar have resurrected a classic animation and brought it to new depth. Supported by a outstanding new team f voice actors, Finding Dory introduces hilarious new characters to enjoy. In Finding Nemo, Dory's short term memory loss was touched upon and joked about, but now we have the real tragic emotional story behind Dory's memory problem, which really makes you feel for the character. What is also most unique is remarkable score by Thomas Newman, which is so good I didn't even have to listen out for it to hit me.
Of course without Pixar, there also comes the marvellous comedy made me laugh very frequently, out loud ad well. But what makes the film is the emotional story of Dory losing her parents which is made up by numerous powerful emotional moments which was twice close to drawing tears from my eyes.
Lets be honest, this film was not made for children of the current generation, but for all of us who witnessed the first film 13 years ago. Only we can purely understand the emotional depth of the film.
The film however does try to do too many things as once, in being a sequel, but also its own film, and hence becomes unbalanced in trying to create the theme of the first film, but also new and independent. Both are good but together can make the film messy.
What makes Finding Dory shy away from being perfect is its unbalance but also certain scenes that have a mixture of humour and emotion which sometimes spoils the atmosphere. But just for once couldn't Pixar try to just aim to be mature audience film, so the easy child friendly atmosphere wasn't there so the film could be perfect with depth and comedy on an older scale.
But how do Pixar do it? in creating beautiful, fun, and marvellous films which we will never forget. Finding Dory is amazing, exactly what we love in animated films, and is just brilliant but not quite perfect. 8.9/10
