“Just keep
swimming, just keep swimming.”
Not only is that a
funny song that is now stuck in your head after reading it, it is
also the main message of the story. “Finding Dory” is the sequel
to the much loved Disney/Pixar film “Finding Nemo”. What started
as more of a running joke in the first movie, kicks things off this
time.
We know Dory suffers
from short-term memory loss. When Marlin first met her, she said “It
runs in my family. At least, I think it does. Where are those
guys?” That is the question she wants answered. Lots of laughs
and excitement fill the adventure.
In a way that few
filmmakers could do, Pixar manages to teach something without making
a big monologue of it. Dory’s situation is really a form of a
learning difference, or “intellectual disability”. Her friends
respect the reality of the issue, but more importantly, they respect
Dory. You’ll see that not only can these individuals function,
they can lead. All of us at World Wide Blog Of Movies are very
active volunteers with Special Olympics Vermont so it is so great to
see something so mainstream taking an approach to this topic.
All the returning
characters are all voiced by the original actors and of course they
do a great job. Ellen Degeneres portrays the title character, Dory.
The comedic timing is better than ever, but she also brings a depth
to the character that we hadn’t seen before. Until then, they
haven’t lost their touch.
No spoilers here,
but I will suggest that you stay until the end of the credits.
You’ll be glad you did.
If you’ve already
seen “Finding Dory” share your thoughts in the comments. If you
haven’t seen it yet, please come back after you do and let us know
what you thought. Please remember, NO SPOILERS!!! and no offensive language.
See you at the movies!
