P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney. An imaginary address that I just can't ever forget lol. Of course I am one of the ones who loved the first one. I mean I was 13 at the time. I didn't even think about that until now. Once it was speculated of course I got excited. I was curious to see after all these years how they would do a continuation. I should have seen this sooner, but now it's time to see what I've been missing. I'm glad they got pretty much everyone back plus some great new cast members. I'm a bit sad there is no Bruce this time though. This is the first feature film for Pixar short films director Angus MacLane. Andrew Stanton has written and directed quite a few including of course Finding Nemo. Bob Peterson who is mostly known for voice acting also lends a hand to the screenplay. This will be the first time I've heard of Victoria Strouse as she only has one other writing credit. I should have seen this sooner, but anyways now it's time to see what I've been missing.
That was an absolutely great follow up to the original. It references jokes from the first film as well as characters. The new jokes are pretty funny. The sad moments are pretty heart wrenching. There seem to be a few more of them than the last movie. The adventure as a whole is fun and creative. There are so many elements that really made the story well rounded. The ending was great. The end credits were beautiful and the little snippets that joined it were amusing. There is even an after credits scene that got me excited.
It was great to see old characters and how they have grown since the original. I adored the new characters as well. I have to say Hank and young Dory were the best. Gerald was a fairly amusing character as well. Little Dory was just way too adorable and really makes her character that much more lovable. I have to say Dory is a special case in which a supporting character really holds her own as a lead.
I just loved this story. It has a great mixture of hilarity and sadness to it. It's a great watch for all ages and I do think the kids who watched the original when it came out would be perfectly satisfied with how this turned out. It's pretty fun from beginning to end with old jokes and new jokes. The characters are all great. I thought the new characters were great. Overall it's quite a satisfying story and even as a stand alone it would be a good one. I definitely recommend it if you liked the first one or you're just a fan of Dory.
