When I saw the first trailers for Finding Dory, it looked like it was going to use the same premise from the first movie except that it would be Marlin and Nemo looking for Dory. Luckily that isn't the case with Finding Dory. This movie does a good job of repeating minor details from the first movie, but for the most part it is completely original. Finding Dory also does a great job at being funnier than the first movie. You run into a lot more side characters in the sequel that provide a lot of the laughs, especially from an octopus named Hank and a beluga named Bailey. The real star of the movie for me though was the baby Dory that you see in multiple flashbacks. She was absolutely adorable with her big eyes and high pitched voice.
Since Finding Dory is a Pixar film, you know going into it, there are going to be emotional parts. Unfortunately, this movie doesn't hit the emotional highs of Pixar classics like Up, Toy Story 3 and Inside Out. But that doesn't mean you won't find yourself wanting to cry while watching this movie, I was just expecting a little more gut wrenching moments.
Being a sequel it's really hard to not compare Finding Dory to Finding Nemo. For me, Finding Nemo is a better film. There were a lot more moments in the first film that stood out, like the sharks, the turtles, the seagulls and Dory talking with the whale. Finding Dory has moments that are close to these, but overall I don't see them leaving a lasting impression.
Finding Dory is a fun movie that everyone will enjoy, it just doesn't reach the heights that the first one did. You will find yourself laughing and on the verge of tears throughout the entire movie. This movie proves that Pixar still knows what their doing and I can't wait to see what they do next.
Also the short before Finding Dory was incredible. The baby bird in it is awesome and the graphics are incredible.
