Finding Dory

I recently watched the movie "Finding Dory" in the theaters.  Overall I thought the movie was cute.  It followed the basic arc a Disney movie has.  The main character is faced with a challenge that will help them grow and develop in some sort of way.  In Dory's case, she started remembering her parents and wanted to reunite with them.  In comparison to the previous movie, "Finding Nemo", I felt that there was still something lacking from the movie.  There were flashbacks from Dory's memories of her parents, and that helped to build up the emotional satisfaction of her reuniting with them in the end.  However, the journey itself didn't feel as rigorous as the one Marlin took on to find Nemo in the first movie.  All in all, I think it's hard for sequels to live up the expectations of the first movie.  However, I still did enjoy the movie.
