	Media	Author	Review
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Its heroine may suffer from short-term memory loss, but viewers with any memory at all will realize that Finding Dory falls rather short of its wondrous progenitor."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A Compelling Argument In Defense Of Sequels. Andrew Stanton returns to animation and delivers Pixar's best movie since 'Up.'"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A supremely delightful sequel (...) this follow-up showcases everything the venerated animation company does so well"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A beautiful, rambunctious, and fully felt sequel — a movie totally worth its salt water. (...) The images never stop dazzling us with their awesome, tactile sheen — their oceanic incandescence."
		Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Anything [from Pixar] less than a masterpiece is basically a disappointment. It may not be fair, but there it is. (...) Finding Dory, would be a triumph for any other animation house. But for Pixar, it’s…fine."
		Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This sequel to 'Finding Nemo' is less of an assault on the tear ducts, but the laughs and thrills more than compensate. (...) rousingly entertaining, (...) In a year full of sequels nobody really wanted, this is one that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the first one"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"What 'Dory' lacks in dazzling originality it more than makes up for in warmth, charm and good humor."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"If 'Finding Dory' lacks the fresh surprise of its predecessor, it still brims with humor, heart and animation miracles (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"While the animation is still top-notch and a slew of new waterlogged personalities buoy the story, ['Finding Dory'] doesn’t have nearly the same sense of heart, wonder and awe as Nemo (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		Scott Mendelson Forbes	"'Finding Dory' is mostly pretty good. It is sweet, funny, occasionally exciting, and gets better as it goes along"
		Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	Poignant and soulful, “Finding Dory” proves once again that Pixar is the pillar of the modern animated world (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
