There aren’t any sharks or creepily crazed Darlas to fear for their lives. The entire environment and tone has changed with the danger of the deep blue sea Marlin combatted altered into a controlled aquarium setting for Dory.
What I loved about Finding Dory is that it isn’t a rehash of the original. Marlin of course doesn’t want to leave the anemone again, but how could he not when the memory of losing his son was so fresh? So he calls on Crush (Stanton) to ride the current across the Pacific right to the Marine Life Institute and Sigourney Weaver‘s dulcet loudspeaker voice.
What starts generically (she knows she had parents considering she was born) leads towards a PTSD-type recall of the words: “The Jewel of Morro Bay, California.” Suddenly she has a destination-one she’s lucky Nemo heard considering she promptly forgets it seconds later-and a fleeting glimpse of the blue parentage that had tragically been scrubbed from her mind. It satisfied that internal desire she couldn’t shake.Ī year removed from the first film’s adventure sees déjà vu hitting Dory hard. Dory knew she was looking for something, so meeting Marlin and finding Nemo became important. One misstep taking her from her family became a distant memory lost forever beyond the hunt. It was practically inevitable she would, though, director Andrew Stanton and co-writer Victoria Strouse explaining through visual montage how years passed and time forgot. While only a tiny blue tang long ago, her Mom and Dad tried desperately to ingrain safety precautions through song in hopes their short-term memory challenged daughter wouldn’t find herself alone.
#Watch finding dory 2016 series
Surprisingly it did.ĭespite the play-on-words poster series alluding to Dory ( Ellen DeGeneres) being the fish needing to be found, the real object of this installment’s search is her parents: Jenny ( Diane Keaton) and Charlie ( Eugene Levy). I had to re-watch Finding Nemo just to approach the level of adoration many possess for it, so Finding Dory needed to be pretty special to make an impact. So after the aforementioned forgettable attempts at continuing fan favorites, anticipation wasn’t high for their return to the ocean world of Marlin ( Albert Brooks) and Nemo ( Hayden Rolence). It’s impossible to hit as many homeruns as they have let alone go back to the well with an idea to hope lightning strikes twice.
