Findet Dorie

Hallo, ich bin Dorie und leide an Gedächtnisschwund. So wie Toy Story 2 ist auch Findet Dorie eine ganz natürliche Fortsetzung, die das Niveau vom ersten Teil behielt, maßvoll ist, nichts übertreibt, viele Ideen hat… Der Film ist einfach wundervoll. Und der Krake Hank sowie der Seelöwe Gerald sind fantastische neue Figuren! (16.06.2016)

Angesichts dessen, dass es 13 Jahre gebraucht hat, bis diese Fortsetzung entstanden ist, die Autoren also genügend Zeit hatten, gründlich darüber nachzudenken, habe ich nicht erwartet, dass es ein Desaster sein könnte. Andererseits hatte ich erwartet, dass es viel mehr verrückt sein würde, wenn sich die Geschichte auf Dory als Hauptfigur in der Geschichte konzentrieren würde. Am Ende ist das Ergebnis gelungen und Pixar hat es mal wieder geschafft, die Messlatte dieser Staffel immer noch sehr hochzuhalten. Natürlich ist die Animation perfekt, die Charaktere, sowohl die Alten als auch die Neuen, sind ebenfalls sehr gut gelungen. Die Geschichte hat ein paar ihrer winzigen Macken, aber ich habe nichts Großes gefunden, das mich in irgendeiner Weise gestört hat. Das Ende gefiel mir ganz gut, der Moment mit Dory und Marlin erschien mir so interessant. Als Ergebnis hat sich Dory einfach großartig geschlagen, obwohl ich nicht weiß, warum, aber ich hatte etwas mehr erwartet... 8/10 (19.06.2016)

The fact that this is a pure marketing sequel in order to launch a merchandising tsunami (mimiDora, as the cutest small fish of all time, is directly asking for it, and I am surprised that my son did not want me to buy a him fish on the way from the cinema) and not a sequel made to say something new about the characters/the world (and such sequels were never unfamiliar to Pixar), so it's not bad at all. Mainly because it is basically the same like two peas. The main downside is Dory herself, who works great as a supporting character, but much worse as the main character, as you will quickly become tired of her energy and forgetfulness. However, she is backed by new characters, especially Hank the octopus. In many scenes he is the only main driving force that is pulling strings. It will pleasantly surprise you how well it works in terms of emotions. Which is balanced by the unnecessary escapade final rescue action and the Marlin/Nemo duo, who are here purely out of duty. Watching this is like a torture, especially how the creators forcibly incorporate them into the center of events and at the same time sideline them throughout the whole footage. (24.06.2016)

I’ve never been crazy about Finding Nemo. I think of it as a perfect family Pixar film that looks great and stuffs the audience with the right values combined with humour and suspense. Good craftsmanship, but I just prefer the more daring, cheeky and contrived films with rats cooking in a restaurant or pensioners putting a million balloons on their house and flying off to Argentina with a fat Asian scout. Finding Dory wasn't a particularly anticipated film for me, so I can't speak to disappointment, but the fact is that it's another completely unnecessary animated film from a studio that was considered the absolute top of its field just a few years ago. It's not a weak Cars 2, but it's far too similar to the first one, only with less interesting supporting characters and starring a talkative heroine who is more annoying than entertaining. It looks great, the jokes work as they should, and it's touching in the right places, but that's it. Finding Dory feels like it's going to neutral, banking on the fact that people will come anyway because they like Nemo and probably want to see the same thing, only with a blue fish instead of an orange one. I'd like more than that, though. I'm used to a bit more class and ambition from this bunch. (15.05.2017)

A fine sequel which focuses on my favorite - memory loss. This time they are trying to find parents, not a child. New characters, an aquarium full of adventure and the outrageously cute little Dora. I’m not sure that this brought any new revelations, but personally I was very pleased to return to this undersea world. Superb. (02.04.2018)
