Finding Dory (2016)

[Edgy MD]

Forgetful fish from 2003's Finding Nemo remembers her family, and sets off on a quest to find them, bringing her and her southern hemisphere friends Marlon and Nemo all the way to California.

Score by Thomas Newman.

oh look, one I've actually seen.

I need to watch this a few dozen more times to really get the full effect, but I thought it was fine. a little less good than Nemo, but maybe I'll pick up on all the subtle jokes that Nemo had once I watch it more.

Wanted more tank fish.

It was a little more bumbling comedy than quest though. "they're over here! *goes there* no, now they're over there were you just were!"

My first thought was - any relation to Randy Newman? Turns out they're cousins. And they've both worked on Pixar films.

[Edgy MD]

While Thomas Newman is pretty great, the Newman family of film composers is about the most dynastic Hollywood family going.

But i'm pretty sure that only one of those Newmans has a top 40 single.

He wrote another one (my fingers start to cramp in anticipation of typing this) I Love L.A.

Grandma Luba and Grandpa Michael were able to say, "My son Irving, the Doctor".

Notice how Joey takes his mother's last name rather than his father's. He knows the Newman brand is his meal ticket.

You really could make a meal from the Newman brand.

BTW, Alfred Newman was the inspiration if the name "Alfred E. Neumann" ( though not the appearance)

Randy sang "You've got a Friend in Me" Fogot about it until I saw Toy Story the other day.

Didn't he sing "Mr President?" I get him confused with the Lovin Spoonful guy

This thread is better than the movie IIRC . Watched it in Ireland with Lorcan and two Aussie kids, none of them were impressed with the movie

[Edgy MD]

Most good Pixar (most good animated) movies have themes for parents as much as for kidzz. This one was more the former, as the parents cheerfully work through with their daughter through their worry, trying to help her find adaptations for her memory issues.

Baby Dory was adoryble.

I watched this recently. Thought it was solid and entertaining but not as great as it's predecessor. I liked that there was good representation of various characters with disabilities getting things done without the usual melodramatic film cliches of disabled people (or sea creatures, as is the case).

Rented this On Demand Saturday night for my granddaughter and me. $23!!!!!!!
It was pretty sweet though and Ellen is worth the money


Cute movie; can't remember Finding Nemo, though I know I saw it...all these generations of kids

Any movie featuring an octopus (septopus!) driving a truck is a good one.

And Ellen!

I never thought I'd ever see those words.
