Finding Dory

It's finally here!

The trailer for 'Finding Dory' has been here for a few days and I know I'm a little late to the party but I just saw it and I'm so excited!!! 

I saw 'Finding Nemo' when it came out in theatres in 2003. My gran took me, like she took me everywhere back then, and I fell in love with the story of the fish who needed to find his way home to his dad. 

His journey home is filled with unexpected obstacles and moments of self-discovery. It was as adorable as it was endearing. 

My heart melted as his dad struggled to find his only child. I'm pretty sure the reason I cared so deeply was because of the tragic opening that hit you with loss and heartache before you could dig into your popcorn. 

'Finding Dory' sets to be another tempestuous tale of self discovery. This time, it's Dory who's in the limelight. A secondary character to Nemo's dad Marlin in the first movie. 

Now, almost a decade and a half later, it's Dory's turn to shine. 

In her search for her family, Dory will encounter old friends and unfamiliar faces. 

And, of course, I couldn't end this thing (whatever it is) without mentioning the woman behind the fish - Ellen DeGeneres. 

Since the success of 'Finding Nemo', DeGeneres has made her name with a talk show on NBC. 'The Ellen Show' began airing on Monday September 8th 2003 - a mere month before 'Finding Nemo' hit theatres in October of that same year. 

Ellen, a comedian/actress, is one of the world's favourite people and her celebrity status will no doubt help with the movie's success - not that it needs any help. 

I can't wait to see the comedic genius that will be 'Finding Dory'. 

Just like the rest of the world.
