Finding Dory is a movie you watch because you love the characters in Finding Nemo (2003), and want to spend more time with them. You will certainly have a good time. Nevertheless, the original will likely remain number one in your heart, and very little about Finding Dory is going to feel fresh and new.

One of the things about Finding Dory that does feel quite different comes in the shape of Frank the octopus, a smart and fun, red/orange creature. I also particularly enjoyed the ‘Where’s Frank’ game at the very end.

Another highlight involves a truck and the sea. It’s a beautiful, moving scene that feels reminiscent of a memorable moment in Inception (2010).

Watch Finding Dory for the nostalgia and because it’s not a bad sequel as sequels go.

Happy Film Loving,
