T
hirteen years after the release of the much-loved clown fish’s journey, the characters from Finding Nemo are swimming back onto the big screen for Disney-Pixar’s latest movie, Finding Dory.
Featuring the lovable, bubbly, amnesiac blue tang fish Dory, audiences are once again taken on a whirlwind adventure, this time in search of Dory’s parents.
For Indonesians viewers, the excitement doesn’t end there — the release of Finding Dory will be accompanied by an Indonesian-dubbed version of the movie, Mencari Dory, featuring the voices of actor and presenter Raffi Achmad and TV personality and socialite Syahrini.
Raffi and Syahrini will voice two new characters: beluga whale Bailey and whale shark Destiny.

“Raffi’s playful, humorous and lovable nature is reflected in Bailey, while Destiny is a very unique character, and when you think of someone unique, there is no other like Syahrini in the world. That is why these two were chosen for the roles,” The Walt Disney Company’s Indonesia studio marketing head, Fitra Rifai, told a press conference on Thursday.
The dubbing took two days for both stars, and turned out be quite a challenge. “It was like the first stages of dating, my heart was fluttering in my chest,” Syahrini said when asked about the process.
Fitra said Mencari Dory was an initiative involving local talents, with the aim to provide Indonesian audiences with an authentic movie experience that could be enjoyed by all ages. (sab/kes)
