‘Finding Dory’ Trailer: The Forgetful Fish Tries To Remember Her Past
Dory’s not so hot at remembering names, or faces, or much of anything, really, but the Pacific regal blue tang made an unforgettable impression in the firstFinding Nemo. Her warmth, generosity, and sunny (if oblivious) optimism made her the breakout character of that movie, even more so than Marlin or Nemo himself. So, thirteen years later, she’s finally getting to lead her own Pixar feature.
Finding Dorypicks up a few months after the events ofFinding Nemo, as Dory tries to journey back home to the family she’s forgotten. Marlin and Nemo tag along for the ride, as Dory meets friends both old and new — including at least one friend who’s simultaneously oldandnew, since we’ve never met her but she remembers Dory from way back.Ellen DeGeneres, who returns to voice Dory, has just unveiled the latestFinding Dorytrailer online, and you can see it after the jump.
Pixar had an up-and-down year in 2015.Inside Outwas a critical and commercial smash hit, even taking home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature this past weekend. ButThe Good Dinosaur, which arrived several months later, was a miss. Reviews were solid, but fell short of the glowing, over-the-top praise heaped on most Pixar new releases, and box office grosses were dismal by the studio’s standards. Fortunately, Pixar should face no such uncertainty in 2016. A sequel to one of their best-loved smash hits seems like a slam dunk, at least in terms of box office dollars. And while we’ll have to wait and see what audiences and critics make of it, so far it looks pretty delightful.
