Disney-Pixar's Finding Dory Review - Lovebugs & Postcards

Monday I had the immense privilege of taking my family to Disney’s Finding Dory screening. I have had high expectations for this movie since I heard they were making is what seems like forever ago. 13 years after Finding Nemo, we get the long awaited sequel Finding Dory.

This movie will take you on a journey with Dory as she remembers bits and pieces of when she was little. As she sets out to find her parents, Nemo and Marlin are by her side, adding humor and bringing out the familiar elements and the characters that we fell in love with in Finding Nemo.

As I said before, I had high expectations for this film and I was blown away. The storyline was great with some of the old and a lot of new elements and friends. The movie had a lot of humor in it, but what I appreciated was that it was family friendly. When you go see it, stay through to the end because there is a scene after the credits finish rolling. Disney-Pixar’s Finding Dory is in theaters today!
