The latter three are all residents of the Monterey Marine Life Institute (a stand-in for the real-life Monterey Bay Aquarium), where the bulk of the movie’s action takes place. Along the way she encounters old friends and new-notable among them a pair of grumbly sea lions (played by former The Wire antagonists Idris Elba and Dominic West), an ill-humored octopus named Hank (Ed O’Neill), a whale shark named Destiny (Kaitlin Olson) whom Dory knew as a child, and a beluga whale named Bailey (Ty Burrell). With her clownfish pals in tow, she sets off to reunite with her family, once again propelled by the surf-dude sea turtle Crush (himself once again voiced by the movie’s director, Andrew Stanton). It all begins when Dory, after a blow to the head, recovers a long-lost memory of her parents (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy) and her childhood home off the coast of California. This time out, it’s Dory’s turn for a transpacific quest, with Marlin and Nemo (voiced this time out by Hayden Rolence) along for the ride as her sidekicks.
The movie takes place one year after the events of Finding Nemo, in which Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a regal blue tang with short-term memory issues, helped overprotective clownfish Marlin (Albert Brooks) find and recover his titular missing son. That said, Finding Dory presents a thoroughly enjoyable variation on a theme. The stunning originality that once defined Pixar’s cinematic buffet has apparently been reduced to an animated amuse bouche. Finding Dory by contrast, proves that the studio is capable of making a quality sequel-which is good news, I suppose, given that this seems like pretty much all it intends to do for the foreseeable future, with Cars 3, Toy Story 4, and The Incredibles 2 all headed down the pike over the next three years.
