When it comes to animated sequels, there is often a lot that
can go wrong. If a movie is good enough to warrant a sequel (which seems to be
around 80% of animated movies these days), it can be difficult, if not
impossible, for a second film to measure up to its predecessor. This is not the
case with Finding Dory.
The first and most striking thing about this film is the way
in which it is able to build upon the plot of the original, whilst not feeling
like a copy of it. It also has just the right amount of nostalgia thrown in,
whilst still focusing on developing its own story first and foremost.
Obviously, there is more of a focus on Dory as she attempts to
find her parents in this film. This time around her character is really developed and built
upon. In addition to this, the plot is able to encapsulate everything that
makes Dory a great character in the first place. “What would Dory do?” is a
common phrase uttered throughout the film and overcoming disabilities is a
running theme expressed through several characters.
Also similar to Dory herself, the film is really really
funny. The humour of the film is just a sharp as the original. Another similarity
to the original is the beauty of the animation, which actually looks a lot
better than Finding Nemo due to obvious advancements in technology.
Finally, the film is incredibly heart-warming, as the film
is chock-a-block with incredibly sweet moments between both old characters and
new.
We may have waited 13 years for this film, but it was most definitely
worth waiting for.
