Dory is reunited with her friends Nemo and Marlin in the search for answers about her past. What can she remember? Who are her parents? And where did she learn to speak Whale?
Finding Dory won over most critics as a warm, funny, and genuinely moving sequel, with many praising its emotional depth and inventive physical comedy. The main fault line runs between those who found the film's similarity to Finding Nemo a comfortable virtue and those who felt it was a telling limitation — a well-crafted retread rather than a worthy follow-up to a Pixar classic.
“It's a film that spills over with laughs (most of them good, a few of them shticky) and tears (all of them earned), supporting characters who are meant to slay us (and mostly do) with their irascible sharp tongues, and dizzyingly extended flights of physical comedy.”

“Finding Dory can be touching, sweet and tender, but it's compulsively, preposterously and steadfastly funny.”
Joe Morgenstern·The Wall Street Journal
“Its heroine may suffer from short-term memory loss, but viewers with any memory at all will realize that Finding Dory falls rather short of its wondrous progenitor.”
Todd McCarthy·The Hollywood Reporter
“For anyone who is not a legally bound babysitter, Finding Dory offers nothing that will please a taste for finer humor, freer fun, or genuinely expressive filmmaking.”
