Finding Dory

Finding Dory, the long-awaited sequel to the Oscar-winning film Finding Nemo, continues the captivating journey of the forgetful yet endearing blue tang fish, Dory. The movie picks up where its predecessor left off, with Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) living a peaceful life in the Great Barrier Reef alongside her friends from the past, Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolence). However, while enjoying the company of her friends, Dory begins to feel an inexplicable sense of longing and a deep-seated question about her past starts to nag at her. What happened before she met Marlin and Nemo? Where did she come from, and what is her true identity? Determined to uncover the long-lost memories of her childhood, Dory embarks on a perilous and unpredictable adventure across the ocean. She is joined on her quest by a friendly sea lion named Destiny (Kaitlin Olson) and a beluga whale named Bailey (Ty Burrell), who share a deep connection with Dory and are eager to help her find the answers she's been searching for. Yet, it becomes apparent that the journey will be filled with even more unpredictable twists and turns and emotional ups and downs. As Dory reminisces about her past, she stumbles upon a faint memory of a beautiful and enigmatic figure who appears to be her childhood home. In a vivid flashback, we see a young Dory interacting with her loving parents, Jenny (Dianna Agron) and Charlie ( Richard Curtis), both of whom possess special skills that aid Dory in her journey. Jenny is an independent sea lion who could swim long distances and Charlie, a beluga whale who taught Dory to communicate with him. We see Charlie who enables Dory to comprehend the language of the whales and Jenny her adoptive mother who helps Dory grow up as her biological mother is still alive. On her odyssey to uncover the truth, Dory also finds herself back at the Marine Life Institute, a place she escaped from earlier in her life. We see that Dory, even as a wee fry, already had a special connection to the ocean. This realization not only helps her trace her biological mother but also aids her in discovering new memory fragments. The adventures Dory endures, trying to bring the puzzle pieces together, will challenge even the strongest of spirits. Yet, she refuses to give up and presses forward, continually pushing the limits of her, not just physical, abilities but emotional strength as well. In the end, the viewers will be left relieved to see Dory finally find closure and the emotional satisfaction of her journey's end.
