T
en years after Finding Nemo, Disney's Pixar invites audiences to follow a new adventure of the clownfish family: Marlin, Nemo and their forgetful friend, the blue reef fish Dory.
Directed by Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E), the movie is set one year after the first adventure. Dory now lives with Marlin and Nemo, despite the fact she cannot swim into their anemone house.
Known for suffering from short-term memory loss, Dory cannot remember what she has just done. But following an incident that brings back her memory of her family, Dory decides to set out on a hunt with her two friends. During her quest, she stumbles upon her old friend Destiny, a whale shark, Bailey, a doubtful Beluga whale, and Hank, a grumpy yet kind-hearted octopus.

Similar to the first movie, Finding Dory is entertaining and perfect for children, thanks to its rich moral lessons. Dory’s innocence and optimism always invite laughter, especially the way she deals with challenges.
In the original English version, Dory is voiced by TV host Ellen DeGeneres, while in the Indonesian-dubbed version, the voice cast includes TV personality and socialite Syahrini and actor and presenter Raffi Ahmad. At first, you may think that the dubbed version is less interesting, but it is actually equally funny. As the voice of Bailey, Raffi successfully makes the audience believe that he is indeed adoubtful Beluga whale. (kes)
