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.

Only just seen this oldie. It’s a good film, quite sweet and funny in places. An easy and fun watch with a nice story to it. Watched on BluRay .

I’m ADD and aloof so I definitely enjoyed seeing a character with these qualities in the extreme find her place. I also love color and the quirky songs. It’s part of Disney’s animated death rattle and the passing of the animated storytelling torch to Pixar. It’s one of the early collaborations that gave Pixar the recognition……and funding to continue to develop.

Le spectateur découvre le passé de Dory au fur et à mesure que sa mémoire revient. C'est un film touchant avec des personnages intéressants, mais loin d’égaler le succès de Finding Nemo.
