Finding Dory (2016) (DVD)

Pessimo acquisto. Purtroppo l’ho inserito nel DVD quando non era più possibile effettuare il reso, ma il film funziona per 5 min poi si blocca!

Sent as a gift, can’t review

I’d never seen Finding Dory although I’ve seen it’s predecessor many times with my various nephews and nieces. It’s never been on Terrestrial TV in the U.K. as far as I know so in the end I decided to see if I could get a DVD. This DVD is no doubt cheaper now but I’m so pleased I got it, as ana dull there are always things that are entertaining as well as it’s suitability for children. The story is amount Dory finding her family, and is a well told tale with excellent animation. Overall a cracking family film.

I was sceptical before watching this, that it would be a rehash of the original in an attempt to cash in on a very successful film. I was wrong. The idea is the same: fish loses family, fish goes on adventure to find family. This does even have a couple of minutes of footage taken from the first. However, this film in my opinion is better than the first one. Dory has several memory jolts during the course of the film, as well as remembering things from her past without the context. The octopus easily steals the show here, and with his desperation to get away from the ocean, there could be scope here for a third film. Overall, you should be watching this film, whether you are young, or just young at heart. In fact, even if you are old at heart, and hate cartoons, and fish - you should watch this.

It was not clear on where the dvd was coming from and as it turns out it came from the UK and now our machine won't play it. The seller approves a return but they specify a carrier which we don't have and if not we have to pay for the return. As if.
