Finding Dory: Perfect holiday film

Cast: (voices) Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Hayden Rolence

Rated: 7/10

It’s rare if you can raise a finger against Disney/Pixar when it comes to their animated films, even if they are sequels. From Finding Nemoto Finding Dory, the animation quality has only become more polished, colourful and engaging. This time, our cute little blue host has an enchantingly put “Short-term Rememory problem” which forces her to get lost in the big blue deep ocean, losing her loving parents, and then with her mental issues go on a journey to find them across the high seas.

An endearing tale wherein Nemo comes in too as do parental issues, a slimy but well-meaning octopus who is more chameleon than octopus, a short-sighted whale, some of the cutest otters and other such ocean people.

As Dory does what she does best — forget, love, forget and love over and over again — you settle in with your ow-so-sweet exclamations mixing up with the popcorns through the colourful journey and pitfalls that Dory falls into every now and then in her bid to find her parents.

It’s a perfect summer holiday film you would like your children to go to, especially when the memory ofFinding Nemo has far from vanished from popular imagination. A good sequel fishing for well-deserved compliments.
