Movie Review – Finding Dory (2016)

Oh those irascible fish and their wacky shenanigans.

I’m not really going to do an in-depth review, other than to say I liked it. I remember seeing the first one, back when I was young and you know, still believed in shit.

The Pixar technology was still relatively new and therefore impressive because people hadn’t seen that much of it at the time.

It is a big undertaking to do a sequel to a perfect classic but sure enough, Disney/Pixar made a worthy sequel. It’s touching, funny and without offering a spoiler, there’s a part in it I found pretty hilarious.

STATUS: Shelf-worthy.

    The sea lions were hilarious, but my favorite part was the aquarium worker screwing around with the tag applicator–seems like something I would do, we zoologists are easily amused.

    • Are you a zoologist? I didn’t know. I assumed you were a scientist of some sort.

      I guess only 3.5 readers read this so spoilers don’t matter. I loved the part where they hijack the truck.

      It seemed like they wanted to do something different because they already did the fish swim far across the ocean idea so they went with how many funny ways can we get the fish to be transported around the park.

        Yup, I even used to work in a zoo (but not with fish). I was pleasantly surprised with how original and clever the story was (despite minor biological inaccuracies~_^)

    • Don’t get used to it, Jeffrey

    Thanks for the quick review! Is it similar to the original? Or a unique entity in itself? Is it a stand alone sequel?
