Finding Dory

Finding Dory

Rating 7 out of 10

I like everyone else on the planet liked the Finding Nemo movie from 2003 (can it really have been that long ago?).  I didn't love it like some did but was highly entertained and did look forward to this one.  Had a fun date planned with some of my kids and most of my grandkids to celebrate an early Fathers Day.

This movie takes place a couple years after Nemo.  The cute little clown fish has been found and now Nemo is wondering what happened to her parents as her short term memory comes and goes.  She hears her parents are across the ocean at a place in California.  Dory sets out with Nemo and her dad to find her parents.  For a fish with bad memory she quickly finds her way right to the Sea World type place in California.  There she befriends an octopus (Ed O'Neil) who steals the show.

This movie is cute.  Good animation that takes you from one scene to another.  Pretty basic story. Dory is about a notch below Nemo.  Entertaining for adults.  Kids will love it too.  I'm sure it will make a bazillion dollars and sell even more dvds at Christmas time.
