Finding Dory

Have you watched Finding Dory?
What are your favourite sea creatures from the Institute?
Dory, the regal blue tang, got separated from her parents, Jenny and Charlie, as a child. As she grew up, Dory attempted to search for them, but gradually forgot them due to her short-term memory loss. Later, she joined Marlin the clownfish, looking for Nemo.

One year after meeting Marlin and Nemo, Dory is living with them in their reef. One day, Dory has a flashback and remembers her parents. She decides to look for them, but her memory problem is an obstacle. She suddenly remembers that they lived at the "Jewel of Morro Bay, California" across the ocean when Nemo mentions the name.

Marlin and Nemo accompany Dory on her journey. With the help of Crush, their sea turtle friend, they ride the California Current to California. Upon arrival, they explore a shipwreck full of lost cargo, where Dory accidentally awakens a giant Humboldt squid that pursues them and almost devours Nemo. They manage to trap the squid and Marlin chastises Dory for endangering them. Dory travels to the surface to seek help, where she is captured by staff members from the Marine Life Institute.

Dory is placed in quarantine and tagged. There she meets a grouchy seven-legged octopus named Hank. Dory's tag marks her for transfer to an aquarium in Cleveland, Ohio. Hank, who fears being released back into the ocean, agrees to help Dory find her parents in exchange for her tag. In one exhibit, Dory encounters her childhood friend Destiny, a nearsighted whale shark, who used to communicate with Dory through pipes, and Bailey, a beluga whale, who mistakenly believes he has lost his ability to echolocate.

I liked 'Finding Dory' a lot more than stupid 'Finding Stupid Nemo', but 'Finding Dory' still wasn't all that great.

If they had to make a sequel movie about someone from 'Finding Nemo', they should have picked Gill, the Willem Dafoe fish. Gill was the best part of the movie. He was whip-smart and likeable, unlike most of the characters.

...Gill should be in the next Star Wars flick------------Star Wars has had a big moist fishy hole in its soul ever since them Disney fatheads killed off Admiral Ackbar. They could put Gill in a robot suit, like Minion from 'Megamind'.

Hank is probably the best character in the movie.
There's some great comedy moments in this one.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
