Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin, Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them. Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save mom and dad from captivity.

Critics Consensus

Funny, poignant, and thought-provoking, Finding Dory delivers a beautifully animated adventure that adds another entertaining chapter to its predecessor's classic story.

The central irony of Finding Dory is that Dory is a risk-taker trapped in a movie that, for all its likability, won't join her on whimsical leaps.

Who would have thought one of the deepest films ever made about learning disabilities would star a talking blue fish?

Much like its titular character, it keeps swimming, and in doing so teaches all of us life lessons that we likely already knew yet still could use to revisit all the same.

Rated: 3.5/4

Maybe not one of Pixar’s best movies, but one of their most valuable ones.

With Finding Dory, at least that glass stays mostly full of heart and humor, and that's enough to just keep swimming...

Rated: B+

Finding Dory does feel like a small step down from the studio, but only because they set the standard so high.

Finding Dory was not a great movie. and I think this one was WORSE than the first one, "Finding Nemo". the main complaint I have with this movie is that it plays out the exact SAME as the first one. don't get me wrong, there are some enjoyable moments in this movie and the finale was actually really good. and the animation was stunning! the characters were surprisingly not bad. but other than that, this is still a film that DIDN'T need to EXIST at all in my OPINION. overall, if you loved the first one, it's likely that you will have a blast with this movie, for me, 6.5/10.

Great sequel to an amazing film. This film was very touching, all with a great blend of fun and animation that is great for kids and kids at heart. I don't like Ellen DeGeneres though.
