Finding Dory (2016)

Finding Dory (2016) — Adventure / Animation / Comedy Summary: Years after the events of Finding Nemo, the lovable but short-term memory-challenged blue tang Dory suddenly recalls fragments of her childhood and sets off on an ocean-spanning quest to find her long-lost parents. Joined (and sometimes reluctantly helped) by Marlin and Nemo, Dory’s journey leads her to the Marine Life Institute in California, where she meets an oddball cast of new friends — including Hank, a grumpy septopus who wants freedom, Destiny, a near-sighted whale shark, and other rescued sea creatures. Through flashes of memory, daring escapes, and gentle humor, Dory pieces together where she came from and what “family” really means. What viewers will experience: Fun for all ages, the film balances laugh-out-loud comedy with heartfelt, emotional moments that can tug at the heartstrings. You’ll see dazzling, colorful underwater animation, energetic action set-pieces, and warm character-driven scenes. The story is upbeat and optimistic but doesn't shy away from themes of loss, identity, and resilience — offering both genuine laughs and touching, cathartic payoffs. Overall, Finding Dory is a visually rich, family-friendly adventure about belonging, perseverance, and the unconventional families we choose.
