Ties in well with its predecessor.

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2018)

After hitting rock bottom with the release of Cars 2 and the mostly disappointing Monster University, I'm happy to see how Pixar was able to capture the essence of what made Finding Nemo so memorable yet again.
I always wondered where Dory came from and all that stuff. And how that journey was strung together is yet again filled with memorable characters both old and new.
The flash backs used for Dory's steady recall of who her parents are and how she got away from them was a clever choice of narrative, because that was how it was supposed to be in "Nemo" about how Marlin lost his wife and children. It works so well in here because of the short-term memory loss of Dory.
With that said, I must address a few problems with the movie. You see, I loved how both Nemo and Marlin figured out there escape plans in the first movie, and that is only occasionally the case in Finding Dory. Many times it just seemed like something just happened to go that way or that just happened be there. It made me feel like: "oh, that was adequate".
But aside from that, it captured all the things that made me love the original, so all in all it is a solid movie.
