It has been 13 years since we visited the deep ocean and its vibrant inhabitants, and it has been 13 years too long. Finding Nemo was a cinematic masterpiece; combining beautiful visuals, a heartfelt voice cast and wonderfully imagined characters. Marlin, Nemo and, of course, Dory are back, and this time they're on a journey of self discovery and Dory's lost family.

Baby Dory |
Brooks gives Marlin the same fatherly protective side that endeared us to him in the first film, and Rolence is able to give Nemo that wide-eyed innocence and strength that makes Nemo so lovable. But, as she did in the first film, Ellen Degeneres steals the show; and this time, the film is actually meant to be all about her. Degeneres is friendly, charming, naive and gentle in her approach to voicing Dory, and if you thought you'd fallen in love with Dory during Finding Nemo, wait until you meet baby Dory. Finding Dory allows us to see adult Dory face her fears and go for what she dreams of, and adds an extra level to an already complex and intriguing character.

Dory & Hank |
As with all Pixar films, Finding Dory is as much for the adults as it is for children. It is filled with heart, laugh out loud moments (some for the children, and many for the grown ups), and to look at, it is stunning and is visually even better than Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton has created a superb sequel to an already fantastic movie, and as well as directing a talented cast and gifted animators, both he and Victoria Strouse have written a story that pulls you in and takes you on an emotional ride.
