Finding Doryis here! It’s been nearly 13 years since Finding Nemo first made a splash, and now it’s finally Dory’s turn. After remembering something about “the jewel of Morro Bay, California”, the amnesiac regal blue tang sets off on a journey to reunite with her family. The sequel takes place a year after the events of the first film, and features a cast of newcomers and familiar faces. Here is everything you need to know about Finding Dory.
