In 2003 Pixar found a major hit in the movie
Finding Nemo. The branch of Walt Disney Pictures took moviegoers below the sea as the clownfish Marlin searched the ocean for his missing son Nemo alongside Dory: a fish who suffers from short term memory loss. This movie is one of my favorite animated features of all time as it featured an adventurous story with both great humor and animation. It has been years since this tale came to close so the idea of Pixar making a sequel to Finding Nemo seemed like a concept that has gone adrift. However it would seem that the animation studio would prove me wrong as now in theaters is the long awaited continuation to the 2003 film-Finding Dory. The new movie centers on the everyone's favorite fish as Dory journeys forth to find her parents. Despite the first film being self contained I will admit that I was curious to see what Pixar would do with a sequel to
Finding Nemo. So is this new film one to remember or should
Finding Dory remain forgotten at the bottom of the sea?
Taking place one year after the first film
Finding Dory once again centers on Marlin (Albert Brooks), Nemo (Hayden Rodence) and of course Dory (Ellen DeGeneres). After remembering her past Dory sets off to find her parents while both Marlin and Nemo accompany her on this adventure. Their travels lead them to the Monterey Marine Life Institute which just so happens to be the aquarium where Dory was born. Upon their arrival Dory gets separated from Marlin and Nemo as she is taken inside the facility. In order to find her parents Dory gets help from a reclusive Octopus named Hank (Ed O'Neil) while Marlin and Nemo search the aquarium for their lost friend.
