The story continues for another twenty or so minutes and the tone of the film changes drastically from dramatic and heartwarming to wacky.Everyone's favorite Blue Tang is swimming back into theaters this summer! You might not speak whale like her but you can color like a pro with the Finding Dory free printable activities found below. But my biggest issue with this film is that once the story reaches its logical and emotional conclusion, it doesn't end. A surprising amount of this movie takes place on land. While the cartoonish design of the characters remain true to the original, the ocean looks to be more beautiful and complex (there is a sequence in the kelp forest which is particularly stunning), making me wish we had more time under the sea. The movie feels more of a result of Pixar 2.0, somehow a more complex and layered adventure.īut overall, I believe Finding Nemo is the better film, for a couple reasons: the thrust of Marlin's journey to find his lost son is something most people can relate to, while Dory's journey to discover her lost parents is not as powerful narratively. So how does it compare against its predecessor? In its best moments, Dory is more emotional and funnier than its predecessor.
Ed O'Neill's octopus character Hank is also a great addition to the crew. My favorite new characters are definitely the trio of sea lions, played by Idris Elba, Dominic West and Torbin Xan Bullock, who had me laughing out loud more than a few times. And I'm sure that was part of the plan as I can only imagine the merchandising sales that will result from this film. They've found ways to organically include appearances from a lot of the major characters from the first film (although some just didn't fit story-wise) but kids (and adults alike) will leave the movie infatuated with the newest characters introduced in this adventure.
