“Holly on Hollywood”
by Holly McClure
“Finding Dory”
“Finding Dory” takes the lovable blue tang fish (Ellen DeGeneres) on a new adventure to find her parents (Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton). Marlin (Albert Brooks) and his son Nemo (Hayden Rolence), head to California where Dory is accidentally captured and taken to the Marine Life Institute. Dory makes new friends in a near-sighted whale shark (Kaitlin Olson), a confused beluga whale (Ty Burrell) and Hank, a grouchy octopus (Ed O’Neill) who wants to escape to another aquarium.
The PG family-friendly fish tale brings…
…back old favorites from “Nemo” (the cool turtle dude Crush and son Squirt, Mr. Ray and the “Mine! Mine! Mine!” seagulls) along with new friends, who help the determined Dory with her mission. Pixar delivers their signature, gorgeous animation that looks real, in a story that’s endearing because of original, clever dialogue from DeGeneres, whose goofy, giddy persona and child-like glee, keep it entertaining and emotionally moving. Parents, you may have heard the controversy about the very brief but much-discussed scene that shows (what looks like) a lesbian couple with a baby, but co-director Andrew Stanton says, “They can be whatever you want them to be. There’s no right or wrong answer”. There are lots of funny one-liners and numerous hilarious scenes (too many to mention) including one of my favorites, the “touching pool” scene, where Dory and other petrified fish try to avoid the grabby hands of bratty children trying to touch them.
“Finding Dory” will capture the hearts of a new generation and deliver an emotional message about family and friends with a tearful, happy ending, that includes a couple of surprise scenes after the credits!
