I really liked this movie, especially after giving it time to process. It covers the theme of disabilities brilliantly, and how they don't really make somebody less of a someone. Dory's own arc is very heartfelt, and it hits you hard at an emotional level in a different way than Finding Nemo. The visuals of the movie are gorgeous, and it manages to entertain you the whole way through. There were great new side characters and funny moments, it obviously plays different than Nemo with it feeling much more contained, but in a way that's a good thing. We didn't need to see Dory adventuring across the entire Ocean again, because this movie was less about that and more personal and introspective. I also love how they played the fact that Marlin was just as forgetful as Dory in a different way (with him misremembering random details that happened), so in a way playing with the fact that while Dory may have had a more "pronounced disability", none of the characters were actually free of disabilities. Thomas Newman's score is again brilliantly beautiful and captures the mood and tone of the film. Probably the most memorable score of the year so far. Finding Dory is a great companion piece to go along Finding Nemo. I don't know if we really need another movie in this world, but then again I thought the same after Nemo and this was a pleasant surprise. It isn't as magical as Finding Nemo, but it's still one very effective sequel. Finding Dory is way better than it ever should have been. If Inside Out, Nemo, and Wall-E are platinum tier Pixar, this is gold. A-
