FINDING NEMO (2003) ENG-HIN

A year after their first journey of crossing the ocean to save his son Nemo (Hayden Rolence), Marlin (Albert Brooks), and Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) live together, creating a sort of cohesive family for Dory as she tries (daily) on coping with her short-term memory. While undertaking a field trip with Mr. Ray (Bob Peterson), Dory’s memory is suddenly jogged by a lesson on migration, recalling her early years spent with her cautious parents Charlie (Eugene Levy) and Jenny (Diane Keaton). Determined to find her long-lost love ones, Dory chases down her obscures clues to find them, with Marlin and Nemo to help escort their friend from Australia to California’s Monterey Marine Life Institute, where they’re immediately separated. As Marlin and Nemo try to figure out way into the faculty with the help from a pair of sea lions Fluke (Idris Elba) and Rudder (Dominic West), Dory finds herself trapped in a rehabilitation holding area, meeting the octopus Hank (Ed O’Neill), who wants to escape and live the “good life” in a Cleveland aquarium tank. Trying to hone in on her collective memories in her scattered brain, Dory, with some help from Hank, journey through the facility, receiving additional help from Destiny (Katlin Olson), a nearsighted whale shark, and a beluga whale named Baily (Ty Burrell), inching ever closer to goal of being reunited with her parents.
I actually do remember going to the theaters to go see Finding Nemo all the way back in 2003 (I remember because I just graduated from high school a few weeks prior to seen it). I instantly loved it. It was great animated movie that was filled with colorful animation, fun characters, plenty of comedic jokes, and such a heartwarming narrative about of a father and son. Like many, I personally look upon Finding Nemo as one of the top movies in Pixar’s illustrious film catalogue (up there with Monsters Inc., Inside Out, and some of the Toy Story movies). To me, I didn’t particularly care for Pixar’s most recent movie (The Good Dinosaur) as I gave it a passing review grade because of its visually aesthetic and some ideas, but it was one of my least favorite ones (probably behind Cars 2).  Thus, I was a tad bit leery to see Finding Dory, with The Good Dinosaur leaving a mediocre taste in my mouth and feeling that Pixar was maybe losing its touch. However, after seeing the movie, found that not to be the case, for while it’s not as creatively original as the first film, Finding Dory still retains all the nuances of predecessor, ensuring a satisfying viewing from onset to conclusion.
Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton, who also directed Wall-E, John Carter, and has lent a helping hand in Pixar Studios in various positions (Animator, writer, producer), returns to underwater world that he created long ago. Stanton seems to embrace the spirit of the first film, infusing Finding Dory with plenty of nuances that made up the first movie. Basically, if you liked the Finding Nemo, you’ll be quite happy with its intended sequel. With great gap of thirteen years set between release date of the two features, Finding Dory has a significant upgrade in its animation. The environments are more elaborate and detailed with the film using some creative set pieces that probably couldn’t be done (or rendered) in the previous movies, the designs of each of the characters also benefit to the enhances in animation as each one of the various characters are brought to life with colorful textures (especially some of the human characters who do look ten times better than they did in Finding Nemo).
 Lastly, a Pixar animated short is attached before Finding Dory begins. Titled “Piper” the animated short follows the story of a hungry baby sandpiper learning to overcome his fear of the water. Alan Barillaro, a Pixar animator and director of Piper, drew inspiration by watching birds near the shoreline (near Pixar’s main studio headquarter in Emeryville, California). The animation for Piper is spot on (the way how they make sand look is incredible). As I’ve said already before with the previous shorts (that were attached to past Pixar movies), these animated shorts have been getting better and are definitely are a delightful and entertaining treat to watch.
