We Find Finging Dory Charming

张文瑜

Families can be made up of all kinds of different people （like fish here）. Thats the big idea behind the new movie， Finding Dory.

Finding Dory is the sequel（续集） to the very popular movie Finding Nemo， which came out 13 years ago. Both are “animated” movies （similar to cartoons）.

In Finding Dory， 1. a forgetful blue fish named Dory becomes lost， and must be reunited with special people in her life.

Likeable Dory has short-term memory loss， which means that 2. 她记得很久前发生的事，不记得刚刚发生的事。Its a condition that causes trouble when she becomes lost， because she has trouble remembering directions like “turn left and then right.”

Fortunately， 3. 她有很多好朋友帮她找到路。Friends like a little fish named Nemo， and his father， Marlin.

Finding Dory is a beautifully drawn film that is charming to look at. And， although the title gives away some of the plot， there are enough twists and turns（一波三折） throughout the movie to make it interesting.

4. Much of the film takes place out of water—in a wildlife centre and even on a highway—so the filmmakers had to be very creative about finding ways for the fish to move from place to place. At one point， Dory is in a coffee pot full of water， carried by a very clever octopus （章鱼）.

5. Finding Dory has been very popular since it opened on June 8. In fact， it has already made $136.2 million in ticket sales.

The characters in the film were “voiced” by popular actors including Ellen DeGeneres （a talk-show host） as Dory and Ty Burrell （Phil Dunphy on TVs Modern Family） as a Beluga whale who has lost his “echolocation （回声定位）” ability.

Ellen DeGeneres has waited a “long， long， long， long， long， long time” for the next film in the Nemo series （系列）. She said， “Its got a lot of heart， its really funny， and the best part is—its got a lot more Dory.”
