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 is a solid 3.5-star animated film that I found enjoyable. With its beautiful animation, heartfelt moments, and fun characters, it delivers an engaging underwater adventure. Dory's journey of self-discovery adds emotional depth, and the humor keeps things entertaining. While it doesn’t quite reach the magic of Finding Nemo, it still offers a charming and touching story worth watching.

Not as good as the 1st one. The animation is better but the pacing is very scattered. It goes from decent to frantic to slow.

Really great movie, the way how it builds upon the idea of the first movie, but with all these new elements is amazing. The way that they developed Dory as a character through this movie with the past and present all coming together, helping her on her journey was done perfectly, also the way that this movie makes you think its done and then it builds further without getting boring is something rarely happening. Amazing movie, loved it
