This is an excellent sequel, seamlessly integrating familiar characters with new ones, ensuring a fresh and engaging experience. It doesn't require a forgetful nature like Dory's to appreciate its charm. While watching the predecessor (Finding Nemo) adds depth, it stands strongly on its own. The characters are well-defined, with clever side jokes woven throughout. Humans play minor roles, allowing the focus to remain on the main cast. A particular voice stands out, possibly hinting at a writer's or Ellen's admiration. Nonetheless, it's a commendable effort by all involved, resulting in a truly enjoyable film.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

relatable, emotional, funny, captivating sequel that imo honestly puts the main character, dory, in their righteous place in the spotlight. nemo's story was great, but expanding dory's was an absolute must, and the creators nailed it perfectly!

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

There’s only so much they could’ve done to expand this story, but they did well for what they could do.

A Sala Llena (Argentina)

Finding Dory is a film full of fun but also very emotional moments, for both children and adults. Like Free Willy (1993), the film is in favor of the release of animals in captivity under the motto “rescue, rehabilitation and liberation.”
