"Finding Dory"-It's Not only NOT "Finding Nemo" is boring, crass and totally not believable.

Yes it's cute but it's a crass commercial piece of nonsense. Yes I am going to trash this movie something awful, something I seldom do. Don't read if you're sensitive



IMDB site for this movie

Movies today are very commercial, we all know this. I've been going to animated type films with my granddaughter for many years and God bless, she always says she loves them all.


And so she did with Finding Dory but I was disgusted with the entire movie.

First, we did see it in 3D, something I seldom do because I don't see the benefit of the extra money. But in the case of THIS movie, it is the one good thing I could say about it. This movie, under the sea, the marine life, the beautiful color, was gorgeous in 3D.

Now let's discuss the very, very stupid plot of this movie.

We begin by asserting that we do understand that giving animals human like traits is very common and I don't have a problem with this. It's part of the joy of watching, adds to the understanding, gives a depth to the plot.



But come on people, a fish with a short term memory problem?

That's a rare thing even in humans for goodness sake, much less a fish with a brain smaller than a pea.

It's just too much to buy into is my complaint, that a fish manages to go through life forgetting everything is just learned because of this brain anomaly.

And the plot is very far-fetched, with fish hijacking trucks and flying with birds and translating fish water echoes into visual sights.

Seems Dory, the star of the movie and one of the fish who saved Elmo, an animated film from many years ago that was much more believable, lost her parents and the story is about Dory's determination to find them.

And Dory, come on, she's the only fish in the movie with buck teeth and why is this? Because Ellen DeGeneres, the voice of Dory, has teeth exactly like the cartoon fish and this was just so obvious. I like Ellen DeGeneres and consider she was a perfect voice for Dory, but DeGeneres has never met a promotional opportunity that she'd let pass by. Including having a fish with her voice look like her.

The story has a bunch of fish helping Dory find her parents and we've got seashell trails and forgetful Dory and a silly plot that looked as if a bunch of people threw a bunch of idea-confetti on the table and an absurd story was somehow concocted.


Of course we have Dory stuff at McDonald's and Pixar, AKA Disney, will make money on this fluff thrown together with little care save for the merchandise and revenue.

Come on producers and directors out there! You got to have a little pride when crafting an animated movie. The color and 3D of "Finding Dory" ain't going to cut it.

This movie is best for someone five years old or less, someone who won't laugh at the silly concept of a forgetful fish.
