This week, Disney treated the public to two trailers to their highly anticipated films, "Finding Dory" (coming next month) and their live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast" (coming March 2017). Over the next two weeks, I will do reviews of these trailers. The first review is a surprise trailer for Pixar’s "Finding Dory".

SPOILERS

Wow, this hit me extremely hard emotionally. It sold me at the beginning when I heard baby Dory, asking two fish (with one of them voiced by Bill Hader, who has already been in two Pixar films, "Monster's University" as the late slug student and last year’s Oscar winner "Inside Out" as Fear) for her family. We then see her as a teenager, yet again asking where her parents are. This transitions to the present time Dory. I seriously almost burst into tears when I heard baby Dory introducing herself and Hader, following up with “Where are your parents?” This is a very tragic setting because we now know that she has been lost her entire life and has been doing nothing, but looking for her parents. My theory is when Marlin and Dory met each other in the first movie, she was once again looking for her parents.

There are also pretty good comedic moments, such as the two women turning around to Hank, an octopus and see him in the baby carriage, the two seals kicking the other seal off from the rock, Hank setting off his ink in the aquarium, and Marlin’s line of “Becky is eating an cup” as the bird is eating a bucket. It sounds like Hank and the seals will be memorable and beloved, just like the characters from the first movie.

However, my biggest concern is that if "Finding Dory"is going to be too much like the original? The story is that Dory is snatched by innocent aquarists and she is send to an aquarium. She meets colorful characters, who help her escape from the aquarium, so she can find her family. Meanwhile, Marlin has a travel buddy and they travel all over the sea to find her. The plot is pretty much “copy and paste.” The seals also remind me of the seagulls from the first movie. Their barks when they kick off the seal sounds a lot like the “MINE, MINE” call from the seagulls. However, the twists of the plot are super interesting. This time, the travel buddy is his son Nemo, who he was looking for in the first movie. This actually gives me relief because from what I am getting so far, they don’t get separated again. He gets to explore what his father saw in the first movie and telling from past trailers, he enjoys every second of the land. What I also really love is that Marlin and Nemo do find Dory at one point and they do stay with her in captivity. I’m intrigued to see how that works out. I also like that Hank does break Dory free from the aquarium and that will lead to comedic moments. One of the twists that do upset me is the lack of "Finding Nemo"characters. Telling from the trailers, it does sound like minus Nemo’s classmates and Mr. Ray, Crush will be the only travel character that we will see in the movie. If Bruce & the sharks and the Fish Tank Gang were in this, they would have been featured in the trailers. Back in 2013 before the movie was pushed back, Willem Dafoe, the voice of Gill, said he was in it. It is quite possible that the Fish Tank Gang was scrapped, along with the original ending of the movie’s whales being in a Seaworld-type show. This would be bizarre because the Fish Tank Gang completed their goal of being in the ocean. What are they doing now? Even though Crush is a popular character in the first film, it would be strange that he is the only character that makes an appearance and not Bruce, Nigel the seagull etc.

The biggest emotional aspect is the realization that Dory might leave Marlin and Nemo for her long-lost family. When I realized this, I actually yelled out “NO!” and my dog came to me to see if I was okay. Her friendship with these two are iconic. No one wants them to be separated. We want them to stay together. Is it possible that Pixar will throw a "Toy Story 3"and have them say their goodbyes? Or will Pixar give the trio a happy ending that will satisfy us by having them stick together? Either way, it sounds like Sadness will control our brain when we see this movie this June.
