Ray (voiced by Bob Peterson) and his school of plucky fish, the Blue Tang fish suddenly starts remembering something hugely important: her family! Remembering details about her long-lost parents, Jenny (voiced by Diane Keaton) and Charlie (voiced by Eugene Levy), she persuades Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) and his son Nemo (voiced by Hayden Rolence) to go with her to try and spot her mom and dad at the place she remembers her and her parents called home: The Jewel of Morro Bay, California.


But during a class trip with stingray teacher Mr. The lovable fish Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) is back, and so is her pesky short-term memory loss. Then, what's the verdict with their newest film, Finding Dory, you ask? It may not be the truly best film the terrific animation studio has churned out, but does that make it any less enjoyable? No! The new adventure, starring the forgetful Blue Tang fish Dory as the lead this time, boasts a fun-loving voice cast, funny moments, impressive character arcs, and arguably some of the best - if not, the absolute best - animation quality Pixar has ever delivered out of their colorfully-animated portfolio. Now, when it comes to Pixar films, we've obviously set some pretty high standards when it comes to storytelling, character designing, and, probably most of all, the studio's ever-improving animation standards. The highly-anticipated follow-up, bringing back the original voices of Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks and others, was hotly announced on Pixar's big upcoming films radar back a few years ago, and here we finally have it, returning old familiar faces like Dory, Marlin, Nemo, and Crush, and popping up some newcomers into the aquatic gang, such as the echolocation-savvy Bailey, the clumsy but charming Destiny, the rock-loving Gerald, and, most notably, the octopus - er, should I say, septopus - Hank. It's in the tradition of Pixar sequels like Toy Story 2 and 3 and Monsters University that Finding Dory soon came to be.
