The sequel to the ridiculously popular Finding Nemo, Finding Dory sees the titular memory-muddle fish (Ellen DeGeneris) off on a quest to find her missing parents – quite an undertaking when you suffer from short term memory loss. Most of the action seems to take place at the California MArine Life Institute, which if nothing else is a good excuse to feature a lot of marine life from wildly different environments, including Ed O’Neill’s grumpy octopus, Hank, and Ty Burrell’s beluga whale, Bailey. In the meantime, clownfish Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolance) search for Dory, because the only thing better than a quest plot is two quest plots.
