(Side note: this movie has noted our collective obsession with cute baby animals and milks it for all it's worth, to great effect.) It's not even necessary to give the rest away, but it means we get some adorable scenes from Dory's young fish-hood. It's hardly a spoiler to say that this movie is about how Dory was lost, and how she gets found, and by whom. Finding Dory, directed by Andrew Stanton ( Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Toy Story) is flat-out terrific, even a little subversive. But wouldn't repeating that formula feel a bit. Its predecessor, released 13 years ago, told the story of a father on a journey across the ocean to find his lost son. ( Cars 2 had the misfortune of being a sequel to Cars.) And yet it was anyone's guess if Finding Dory would be good-or even could be good. Pixar historically does well by their sequels, defying most of Hollywood: the Toy Story franchise actually got better as it went along, and Monsters University was a fun, imaginative romp as well.
