SPOILERS DOWN THE PATH; THE DISCUSSION BELOW WILL NOT BE COMPREHENSIVE WITHOUT IT.
TREAD CAREFULLY. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
Will you ever get tired of watching a Disney movie? This one, maybe, just maybe yes.
Finding Dory is about… finding Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres). Who was she? Who is she? Who are her parents? How did she start to just keep swimming? With a trip down memory lane to the past events in Finding Nemo, the story moves on to the present day for a journey filled with funny quips, nostalgia, rhyming dialogues, memories & redemption of family members, yet again.
The first film's full of renowned characters! To see them returning to the big screen puts wide smiles on our faces! Additionally, Becky the dysfunctional loon, Fluke (voiced by Idris Elba) & Rudder (voiced by Dominic West) the sea lions, the whiny oyster, Hank the shape-shifting 'Septopus' (voiced by Ed O'Neill) and even the toy fish are amusing!
The screenplay only picks up when Dory gets fishnapped by two employees at the Monterey Marine Life Institute. Speaking of the location, it's a positive environmental setting change for this sequel. Prior to that, the illuminated squid chase's invigorating. The hint about water pollution, Dory playing dead in a bucket full of deceased fishes, kids zone, a tank full of Pacific blue tangs, Bailey's disillusion of Dory being eaten, Nemo (voiced by Hayden Rolence) & Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) adopting Dory's way of thinking to escape are the selected few clips to remember in the midst of an okay script.
Here's the primary issue. Dory, as we know it, is a nettlesome persona. To reflect our feelings on the regal tang, even the school kids in the picture wish her dead. It is admittedly hard to root for her cause of finding her parents. What a misfire of a thrust! The younger self (voiced by Lucia Geddes) however, is fetching & we do feel pitiful of her struggles. When Dory does finally meet her parents, it's earnestly touching!
Also, the writing becomes dishevelled with the beluga whale that's capable of echolocation. Scenes like Bailey (voiced by Ty Burrell) tracking road vehicle-travel & Hank driving a truck makes you think what the fish is going on! Dory being able to speak whale due to a childhood 'pipe' friend, Destiny the whale shark is convenient. Towards the climax, sequences begin to repeat with rescues of one another, non-stop. Looking at these, one can't help but to ask whether this is a necessary sequel or not.
