‘Finding Dory’ swims into the hearts of all ages MALLORY LOVINGS News Reporter | @MalloryLovings
Creating a sequel to an unforgettable film is a challenge – and that’s an understatement. The writers, directors and producers have big expectations to fill for their viewers. The audience always wants the next big thing. “Finding Nemo” is a 13-year-old awardwinning Pixar movie that tells the story of a clownfish traveling across the ocean in search of his son who meets a fish suffering from short-term memory loss along the way. Ellen DeGeneres voices the lovable, forgetful Dory once again in the sequel to “Finding Nemo,” “Finding Dory.” Andrew Stanton, the writer of “Finding Nemo,” returns in full force to bring Dory into her own world.
“Finding Dory” is a story based on – you guessed it – Dory, a Blue Tang. The film is meant to direct the audience to look at Dory’s side of the world. This time around, instead of searching for Nemo with his father Marlin, Dory is searching for her own family. The “Finding Dory” team made a successful second installment that included references from the famous “Finding Nemo,” while still keeping its originality. The team did a great job of making sure “Finding Dory” contains every emotion that is able to be felt. The audience will catch themselves laughing, crying and feeling overwhelmed with happiness. Illinois State University junior and “Finding Nemo” enthusiast Eva Dockery said that the release of “Finding Dory” fulfilled her childhood needs. see DORY page 2
