Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.
Since i like Pixar films that i saw as a kid like Toy Story, Bug's life and Cars. But one film i always love to watch is Finding Nemo, its one of the must successful movie back in 2003 and its also a best selling film of DVD with 40 million copies, it has a likable characters, great animation and a good story.
After 13 years, Andrew Stanton decided to make sequel to focusing with Dory, since we might be curious about her memory loss. I mean, since i watched Nemo, i always like Dory, she's one of likable character that she always made us laughing and its all thanks to our favorite comedic actress and host of her own show Ellen DeGeneres.
With all that said, can this film holds up for a good sequel, or is it gonna be a bad one since Cars 2?
Lets find out.
The story
It takes place one year after the first film. Our main amnesiac fish Dory is now part of family with Marlin and Nemo. Suddenly, she remembers her parents that she wanted to reunite with, despite she's alone and helped Marling to found Nemo. However, she was taken to public aquarium in California. So not only Dory has to finding her parents, but Marlin and Nemo going to... Well, Finding Dory.
The story feels like the first film, but in opposite direction, but much more better that i watched. There's even a subplot where Dory reunites with her old friends like Destiny and Bailey, even though why it has that, but im ok for that. About the gags, i did laugh which some jokes that works, not much else to say.
For me, the story was great, not about the searching, its all about a reunion of old family and old friends. I mean when you grow up to adult to a new apartment, we know how we feel, we really want to hang out your family if they're getting old or even looking back about our old friends. we like to hang out for conversation from the past or even play each other. If we're grow old, we'll probably missed them to not only move apartment, but also if your parents passed away, we'll emotionally miss them. and for friends, its not easy when you're young, without your old friends from your school or kindergarten, it will be very sad. I mean, i lost several or them when i grew to a teenager or even finish my secondary school in this year, il probably miss them when im moved on. Unless if we have Facebook account.
The animation
Well, what do you say about Pixar, its another type of film with a great view. Well, its more like an updated version of the first movie, but improvement. Especially with a new location, since it takes place next to California. The one part i like is the animation of Hank the octopus, its thanks to a stealth, they did a great job of him. But they said that animating of Hank is the hardest work. It may be tough, but still a good job. They did a same work since before like how the fishes move or even the expression from a dog's eye's and eye brows. And the background is always beautiful for the public aquarium and in the ocean.
There's not much to say, it still a good animation film of Pixar.
The characters
The characters are great and its nice to bring them back.
First there's Dory an amnesiac regal blue tang, like said, i like her, she always made me laugh in the first film. In the sequel, she's kinda changing of a comedic character to a sympathy, we know how she feels, like i said, we always want to reunite our old family since we grew up that we moved on. But still, Ellen did a great job and im pretty sure its her fav character in Pixar films.
Then there's Marlin (voice by returned Albert Brooks) and Nemo (voiced by Hayden Rolence who replaced Alexander Gould since he grew up.), they're my fav, since i like clown fish. Even Marlin is a bit the same as before that he was always overprotective and worry for losing, he did build up like find a new way in aquarium public. For Nemo, hie development is changing lonely kid to a brave kid since the first film, but Nemo could've been an interesting development.
For the new characters, i find them pretty interesting.
First is Hank a cranky red octopus (voiced by Ed O'Neill), i find him pretty cool, since he's a like a ninja octopus with his stealth ability and he's also pretty smart like human does or even hiding in the spot and for his hearts. He's like an octopus version of Solid Snake from Metal Gear series.
Next there's Destiny, a whale-shark with a near blurred view (voiced by Kaitlin Olson), I gotta say, she looks pretty cute and nice with Dory. Even though she was nearly blind that she accidentally hits the wall. And sometimes losing her patients for count to be ready. ^^;
And there's Bailey, a beluga whale (voiced by Ty Burrell), this whale has a special ability too, but he nearly has echolocation because he had a concussion. For me, he's rather an ok character in the movie, even though its strange like the scene where we're in his mind for his ability to feel like computer binocular.
These guys are likely a replacement of Gill and his friend in the dentist from the first movie.
For the others like Fluke's and his sea loin friends, they're pretty funny, but they only have a small appearance. And for Dory's parents, they're pretty nice and kind, and i feel bad for them since they lost Dory for a long years. :(
As for the old casts like Mr. Ray, the students, Crush and the others, like Flukes, they only have a small appearance like in the first act. Pretty shame for them.
Even though some of them have a lackluster, but its nice to come back and always fun for them. ^^
Oh yeah, before for my final opinion, since this is a Pixar film, there's a short film called "Piper". I gotta say, its one of the most adorable short i've ever watch and it was amazing work of animation. It will be like 10/10 for adorableness. Im pretty sure every girls will love to see it. ^w^
Anyway, final opinion of the film.
Overall, it may not be greatest than the first one, but its also a great animation film i've ever watched. With wonderful story, fun characters and a beautiful animation. Not to mention, the film actually beat Independence day: Resurgence and Captain America Civil film for a box-office success. But, its one of the most successful film in China thanks to our anticipation.
If you like Finding Nemo, this one is for you. If you seen Finding Dory than Nemo, im pretty sure you watched to soon. No offense. ^^;
Since i like the first film that i'l like give it 10/10. In this sequel, likei said, it may not be masterpiece, but its still great, il also give this movie a 10/10.
So this ends of my review, if you have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at the comments bellow.
