After 13 years of waiting for "Finding Nemo's" highly-anticipated sequel, "Finding Dory" finally hit theaters on June 17, 2016. I had the pleasure of watching it on opening weekend, and let me just say that it did not disappoint. With beautiful animation and detail, a captivating storyline, and our beloved characters (along with some new faces), "Finding Dory" does not fail to move its audience to laughter and tears from start to finish.
If you haven't seen "Finding Dory" yet, I suggest you drop everything you're doing and hit the nearest movie theater. In the meantime, here are five quotes from our beloved blue fish that you need to hear right now.
1. "Trust. It's what friends do."
Thank you, Dory, for reminding us that the key to a great friendship is trust.
2. "No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't forget you."
BRB, I'm crying. I will never forget you either, Dory.
3. "I'd say it's half-full."
After Merlin describes the water as half-empty, Dory hits him with her optimism. So when life is treating you half-empty, hit it with some positivity.
4. "I look at you, and I'm home."
My heart. Home is where the heart is, and there is that one person out there who always has our heart.
5. "When life gets you down do you know what you've gotta do? Just keep swimming!"
I saved the best quote for last. Whenever you feel like drowning and you've hit the bottom, the only way to go is up. So just keep swimming! And before you know it, you'll find your way back home.
