30 June 2016. "Find Dory" stands out because of the of difficulty of developing a script that focuses primarily on a character who has short-term and long term memory loss. In some ways, like the challenging script of "50 First Dates" (2004) where Drew Barrymore plays Lucy Whitmore, a human who also suffers from memory loss, in a live action comedy, the ability to maintain interest and a delicate balance of respect for such characters is definitely not easy to accomplish. Nevertheless in both instances, both comedies accomplish a continuing series of fumbles and ironic come backs that offer both humor and sympathy for their female characters. "Finding Dory" offers up some great comic lines, a fast and involving pace with captivating and emotive interest. More involving with its extensive character portrayal more so than the classic "The Incredibles" (2004) as a close collection of family members, the audience gets to experience a more personal, intimate voyage much like those found in the animated dog move "Bolt" (2008), the lonely sci fi robotic waste collector "Wall*e (2008), even the live musical drama "Moulin Rouge" (2001), the lonely adventure of a woman in "Wild" (2014) or the personal blacker demons of "Black Swan" (2010).
Except for a rather abrupt and not fully developed scene regarding Dory's parents later in the movie which doesn't come across as smoothly, this animated film stands out for its compelling interesting pacing and engaging comedy revolving around a rather peculiar but very likable lead character.
