What did people think? Has anyone seen it yet? My mother wants me to go see it with her later this week, and I can't decide if I really want to see it. Feel free to spoil me as that never ruins a movie experience for me.

I liked it. It didn't impress me as much as Inside Out, but not bad, (except for the kid in the audience who had a meltdown during the scary scene.)

I think you should see it, just don't expect it to be as good as Finding Nemo. I thought the ending was drawn out too much, but it was very cute and I love Dory a lot <3 and it did make me cry (good cry)

I hate Finding Nemo and I loved this movie.

That's good to know. I didn't hate it, but I was pretty meh on it.

I saw it once and once with my mom and loved it both times. Enjoyed it more than Finding Nemo. I just thought the side characters were great, the setting interesting, and enjoyed the focus on Dory rather than Marlin. I thought Marlin was kind of an ass in this one, and all his scenes basically summed up to "Dory's not an idiot, she knows what she's doing, stop trying to do things your way and try being more open to creative solutions like she is."

MILD SPOILERS Hank was my favorite character. I was a bit worried about him going into it, but was glad he just turned out to be a grump and not a character like Lotso. What I like about the Nemo/Dory films is the fact there's no TRUE antagonist, other than the environment.

It's a cute movie and if you're seeing it with your mom, it'll be a nice experience, imo. It's a very family-oriented movie.

I liked it well enough, but I found it pretty forgettable. It seemed like a lot of the same plot as Finding Nemo, such that I could see kids enjoying it, but I couldn't really get into it. I thought Dory was good and Hank was great, and the rest was eh. I disliked the over the top ending, which might have soured it for me a bit too. Basically, I see it as much more of a movie only for kids vs a lot of Pixar's other works.

A line from this review kinda sums up how I felt about it. "“Finding Dory” can be described in exactly the same way as its title character: good-natured, funny, optimistic, darting from place to place, ranging from anxious to frenzied in tone, and unable to sustain an idea for more than a few moments."

This quote (from this review) works too. "The colorful characters don't entirely hide the fact that this is a lesser Pixar film, coasting on Finding Nemo's popularity, and telling a too-similar story that isn't as ambitious or emotionally intense. Stanton's script is cleverly built around flashbacks that fill in Dory's history, but the frantic action between revelations is just killing time, and it rarely integrates organically with the rest of the story."

And this too. "I want to be clear: A lot of people who loved 2003’s Finding Nemo will pay to see this new follow-up and walk out feeling like they got their money’s worth. But it’s not Toy Story or Inside Out or even Nemo. What it is is a perfectly enjoyable family film that’s comforting, familiar, and a bit slight, like one of those serviceable Lion King spin-offs that Disney used to ship straight to DVD back in the ‘90s." From this review

I don't think I entirely wasted my money, especially because the animation looks really good on the big screen, but I was hoping for so much more and I was let down.

Even if you don't like the movie, the short at the beginning will be worth your while. I think that's my favorite Pixar short yet. And the animation is beautiful - they notably improved with just about everything, but still kept the aesthetic from Finding Nemo.
