Reviews & comments
Variety
pressSpills over with laughs (most of them good, a few of them shticky) and tears (all of them earned)...
Time Out
pressWhile Finding Dory is definitely the kind of visual pleasure we’ve come to expect from Pixar, its storyline doesn’t always reach the heights of inventiveness upon which the gigantic animation studio has built its reputation.
The Telegraph
pressIsn’t just great storytelling, but could be a real comfort to parents and children alike who unexpectedly see themselves in Dory’s plight.
The New York Times
pressThe inclusiveness of the film's vision is remarkable partly because it feels so natural, something that no adult will really need to explain. Children will get it, perhaps more intuitively and easily than the rest of us.
The Guardian
pressDeGeneres's vocal performance is extraordinary, effortlessly shifting from jokes to self-perpetuated anxiety attacks.
The Australian
pressDory's adventures are amiable enough, but the film lacks energy and suffers from a sense of predictability.
Stuff
pressLike everything Pixar have done before, but even more so, Finding Dory is a gorgeous looking film.

pressWhile rambunctious and passably humorous, this offspring isn't nearly as imaginative and nimble-minded as the forerunner that spawned it.
Yep, even with more than a decade of time gone by it's so welcoming to see a sequel and be charmed all over again for another generation of kiddies. Same characters we loved ,voiced by the same actors and it fills in those missing blanks, completes the circle and its very funny also.

It goes without saying that...
After the disappointing The Good Dinosaur, Pixar have returned to form in Finding Dory. Perfectly recapturing the excitement and joy of Finding Nemo, Finding Dory is a heart filled story of Dory's search for her long lost family. Took my niece (6) and nephew (4) to this one and they thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't find it as scary as Zootopia. Fantastic...
Finding Dory is pretty solid, better than Nemo. Top notch animation, fast paced, good fun. Not one of Pixar's best, but I'd recommend it. Grade: B+
Finding Dory As awesome as the original, if not better. Same kind of jokes and emotional roller coaster, it can be happy and sad at the same time. Great for the kids and the child in all of us. Like any other Pixar movie (listing them all, blah blah) showing us something true in ourselves while also having a laugh and learning about others. It gave a nod to...
