I have loved Disney Pixar from a young age. I don't know which one I watched first; but Toy Story was a big part of my childhood, I distinctly remember seeing Finding Nemo at the cinema for the first time, and seeing Monsters Inc on the TV gave me that familiar warm feeling that a good film does. Not to mention my love for the films; A Bugs Life, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Brave etc. As you can probably tell, seeing that little jumping lamp before a film always puts a smile on my face.
So, this weekend I was pretty excited (even as an 18 year old) when my boyfriend suggested we go and see Finding Dory. I couldn't wait to see the sequel to one of my childhood favourites. I'm now glad to say that it was absolutely wonderful; it followed on effortlessly from Finding Nemo, kept the same quality and themes and still remained some of the great characters. However, it had its own uniqueness as well, it was its own original film, not trying to copy the past prequel, and that is what I loved about it. It also included new characters that were very interesting with their own backstory, and gave more insight into Dory and short-term memory loss well without over doing it. Nevertheless I felt it did get a little tedious occasionally and I love the characters and the plot of Finding Nemo and I was a little scared that it would just copy the format, but it didn't. Therefore I was captivated: taken back to childish innocence as I watched in suspense at how Dory would be found.
I have this little thing where I say a film is good if I laugh and cry. I did both. So well done Disney Pixar, you've reaffirmed my absolute love for you.
P.S. Going to see a children's film is totally a great date idea hahaa!
