Finding Dory does feel like a small step down from the studio, but only because they set the standard so high.

There’s only so much they could’ve done to expand this story, but they did well for what they could do.

Finding Dory is a film full of fun but also very emotional moments, for both children and adults. Like Free Willy (1993), the film is in favor of the release of animals in captivity under the motto “rescue, rehabilitation and liberation.”

Finding Dory is not on the level of its predecessor Finding Nemo; however, both films are able to bring to life wonderful, endearing stories that show why Pixar is as at the top of the game in regards to animated films.

By focusing so deeply on the pain beneath Dory's happy-go-lucky exterior, the film still packs an emotional wallop.

For a film set in the ocean, it somehow even manages to throw in a car chase sequence.
