Talk:Finding Dory/@comment-25097798-20160928223811

So I finally so the movie on theaters. So many mixed thoughts about this. While it has a few good merits, I wouldn't even imagine on placing it among Pixar's best works. Obviously, the inevitably superior predecessor is the reason for my judgement. The movie stands well on its own (compared to most 2016 animated movies that is), since the only good, worthwhile animated movies for this year up until now are Kung Fu Panda 3, Zootopia and maybe Secret Life Of Pets. But compared to Nemo, it just feels kind of... empty. The whole movie seems like it takes place in one building... and in some pipes. I, personally, never felt the sheer, epic grand vastness and awe of the ocean, like I did in Nemo. The side characters are interesting (especially Destiny, Bailey and Fluke), the comedy is classic Ellen (nothing new or ground-breaking, although it's still amusing for little kids) and the emotional scenes are kind of forced and predictable. I'll admit that the movie pays a good homage to all those people with short-term memory loss, but let's be honest, was anyone expecting Dory to not find her parents? The cute baby Dory scenes are sure to sell a lot of merchandise though. The movie is mostly a winner for its stellar animation and good voice cast, but as I said, the plot just felt kind of underdeveloped. I'll give it 6,5/10 or even a solid 7. So much potential, that is never used quite fully.
