The opposite of boring.

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2019)

Surprisingly enough, Finding Dory managed to impress me even more than Finding Nemo did many years ago. It's palpable that the high-quality Pixar always delivers is still present in strong form. Finding Dory tells its story in an imaginative way, filled with clues and flashbacks that help Dory decipher her own origins. It's a type of wild adventure that only animated pictures can offer that is truly satisfying to watch, it's a thrilling ride so fantastically translated to the screen, the animation is precious. The newly added character, the octopus (well, septipus) Hank is nothing short of incredible. First off, it was greatly voiced by Ed O'Neill and his octopus mobility was perfectly captured, I was tremendously impressed every time Hank was moving around like a ninja or a trapeze artist with such effortlessness that it was engrossing to watch.
The film itself is highly entertaining, it does not bore nor tire at any particular moment, it is carried by a strong visual narrative that manages to keep your eyes on the screen at all times. The visuals go along really well with the story of Nemo and Marlin trying to find Dory, and Dory trying to find her parents.
The scene standout for me is without a doubt the truck scene where it falls to the river, freeing the fish. That is simply a stunning and inspiring scene, done so cleverly that is no surprising that it came from the masters at Pixar.
Check out this wonderful sequel to a Pixar classic, you may even like it a bit more, or maybe not, depends on you. But rest assure that you will have a great time with this fine animated film.
