    Finding Dory is a movie about family, friendship, and not wanting to move to Cleveland and in that sense it really checks all the boxes for me

    I still think that for Finding Dory, Marlin should have been Marlene, and nobody in the movie commenting about it at all because everyone in the sea knows that clownfish do that.

    Ellen DeGeneres saw Trump watching Finding Dory and tried to explain that the movie was about how it was wrong to separate families. Trump loved it and had a viewing party at the White House. ICE illegally separated families at the border, kicked parents back to Mexico, and adopted the kids into white families.... And those were the lucky ones, the unlucky ones died in a concentration camp composed solely of children where the teenagers were expected to take care of the kids who were in turn…

    Andrew Stanton himself even explained after Finding Dory got a PG that it wasn't any more intense than the first movie (if anything, Dory is less intense than Finding Nemo). The ratings board has just gotten harsher on them. There are a few risque jokes in Toy Story 1 that would get it PG today.

    While I personally wouldn't rank "Finding Dory" as one of my favorites, I can't help but appreciate this sequel not only for fleshing out Dory's character but also for having probably some of the best disability rep I've seen in a feature film.

  • Animated Antic @animatedantic.bsky.socialBluesky · Jun 29, 2025

    One decision I think Andrew Stanton made which was smart was to discard the whole flashback approach to the backstory of Marlin and just show at the beginning of the film which helps the audience fully understand him. Luckily, the flashback idea would work much better for the sequel Finding Dory.

    It was so fun watching Finding Dory at the aquarium last night in a screening we did for staff, friends and family. I loved it when it came out and now that I work at the aquarium that so much of the movie was based on, and got to watch it here, made it so special. There are corridors in some scenes and some exhibits and even shapes of tanks that I now know very well. #FindingDory #MontereyBayAquarium

    It says a lot that Disney effectively tossed this aside in favor of hyping up Alice Through the Looking Glass and Finding Dory that summer; even in 2016 they no longer understood the idea of a children’s film that wasn’t going to spin off a franchise.

    I do not think I have mentioned this, but among the Pixar films that I have seen the most throughout my life aside from Cars and WALL-E, Finding Nemo is a film that I have been obsessed with. Back in 2016, I also have seen Finding Dory in cinemas and I loved it as the first film.

    I both love and hate the fact that in Finding Nemo, Marlin and Dory’s journey spans from the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney and is the focus of the movie. Then in Finding Dory, they quickly go from Australia to California like it’s nothing. Y’know, CROSSING THE PACIFIC FUCKING OCEAN!?

    Finding Dory is such a strange movie, because "escape artist octopus wants to get out of an aquarium" is such a classic slam-dunk Pixar premise, and for some reason they hid it in the B-plot of a Finding Nemo sequel

    But either way, time for a little crazy fact about Finding Dory during its initial release. Since this is an animated film, theaters of course, put most of the trailer for upcoming films that is, well, animated. But there’s one trailer that’s animated…but not for kids and it’s rated-R.

    I qualify a good sequel as a movie that can be enjoyed without having to watch the previous. Not that the previous isn't important, just not required. Terminator 2 clearly fits into this category. As do a lot of sequels. Here is my short list: * Terminator 2 * The Dark Knight * Finding Dory * Toy Story 2 * Spider Man 2 (Toby Maguire) Do Casino Royal or Rogue One count for anyone?

    Yet another spinoff film with a animated comedy relief side character? This barely even worked with Disney's Finding Dory, but at least Dory had her memory loss as an emotional tactic, Donkey quite literally has nothing like that to really support this existing really.

    150. Finding Dory While not as good as Finding Nemo, the film is as good as I think it could've been being a sequel to the first. It adds more layers to the character of Dory, expands on character dynamics, introduces some really fun new characters, and once again Newman's musical score is gorgeous

    what hurt the 2nd film was undoubtedly rushing it through production so they could have a blockbuster while Finding Dory was trailing behind. There were so many underbaked ideas, and only some of them were seizure inducing.

    Finding Dory isn't a Finding Nemo sequel. The real sequel should have been set after the tank gang freed themselves Finding Dory is entirely another film, with lower quality storyplot & characters than its predecessor. It feels forced and doesn't have the same emotional weight than Finding Nemo had.
