Another Pixar sequel... Finding Dory

well somebody found Dory :o:
 
By not means "bad," but... it's blatantly unnecessary. This was not a story that needed to be told and frankly making Dory (a wonderful co-lead in Finding Nemo) into the straight-up protagonist was the same mistake as Mater for Cars 2. I seem to recall she resolved her memory loss arc in Nemo. But sequelitis in play... so here is it again like nothing ever happened.

Kids will dig it although... the ones at our (full) screening didn't seem to be into it.

I seem to recall at the end of Finding Nemo that she only remembered the events of what happened to her in the first film after she met Marlin and nothing really before that. I'll give them a pass for that.
 
I know the Pixar movies have quite the catalog of stellar features.

Toy Story Trilogy, Monster's Inc, Wall-E, Ratatouille, Inside Out, Up, Incredible, A Bug's Life but I always found Finding Nemo as one of my least favorites out of those.

I just can't believe we had/have to go through 2 Cars sequels, a Nemo sequel, a Monster's Inc sequel and another Toy Story sequel before we got the Incredibles sequel.

I have zero interest in this movie but I'm not surprised. It's not hard to put this **** together from fundamental concept alone.

Now we're gonna have to get through a Toy Story 4 that will pretty much fail to live up to the last film most likely.

That was Bird's call, they weren't gonna do without him.
 
And Bird flopped with Tomorrowland. I'm sorta thinking the situation for Incredibles 2 resembles this.

Where Pixar has been dropping the ball, Disney has been making up for it now.
 
The Incredibles 2 was never a good idea.

When I hear fandom keep crying for it, I think "You don't know what you want!"
 
Oh come on why the pessimism? You get to see a talking whale shark voiced by one of the belchers. Every movie needs that. Imagine how much better avengers age of Ultron would have been with a talking whale shark in it.

I mean if any of the Pixar movies could naturally have a sequel, it's The Incredibles, but it's too late. It just conflicts with Bird's reluctance of doing one in the first place. If Bird couldn't think of one for years until coincidentally after Tomorrowland flops, then something doesn't feel quite natural like it could have been. The ingredients just don't add up now. Along with Pixar's propensity for sequels now, an Incredibles 2 isn't so special anymore.

It was too late for Toy Story 3 as well. :yay:
 
Toy Story the Third is proof of Pixar's ability with sequels. Cars 2 was more of Lassetter's pet project that we just don't talk about.
 
4th Disney film this year to (likely) end up in the 90s on RT.
 
A lot are saying, like Nemo, it's got a decent lesson about disabilities not hindering you from living the way you want.
 
I heard the ending is crazy...
 
Yaaaaaaas go get 'em. Remember a few years ago when Disney was majorly sucking? I don't know who they changed in management but ever since the princess and the frog they seem to be the only studio that knows what they're doing

This is Pixar, run by the same person who runs Disney Animation.
 
Glad it's reviewing well. Good job Pixar. I had no interest in a sequel, but my wife loved the original and I'm happy to see it hasn't been tarnished. After the mediocre Good Dinosaur, I wasn't sure where this would go.
 
I'm surprised by how positive the critic response has been so far, I was expecting it to be a bit more... lukewarm. So is this the year Disney officially conquers the world? And to think they've still got Star Wars, Moana and another MCU movie to release before it finally ends.
