Finding Dory, the sequel to 2003 remarkable Pixar feature Finding Nemo, presents us with a similar, albeit slightly different, dilemma. Whereas Nemo handicap was that he was young and possessing an unusually small right fin, Dory's handicap is much more disadvantageous: she's unable to form any short memories. Like a children's version of Guy's Pearce's Memento protagonist, Dory moves through the world experiencing everything and everyone for the first time, not knowing how the thoughts she finds herself having started in the first place. Featuring additional characters, consisting of a beluga whale, a hammerhead shark and color-and-shape-shifting octopus named Hank, all who have charm to spare, Finding Dory is one emotional trip into its titular heroine's (and our own) past. The scene near the end, where a large truck full of aquatic life drives off into the ocean, should leave a smile on your face for hours afterwards.
