Voiced again, quite marvelously, by Ellen DeGeneres, Dory can’t hold onto a short-term memory for more than a few seconds, and that condition (in Memento parlance) remains a strong source of both pathos and punchlines.

...it is a relief to note that the follow-up has plenty of emotional hooks, some great lines and is no stinker, despite simply following what amounts to the same plot current as before...

It’s watchable, with all the wonderful animation technique that we are in danger of taking for granted.

...a showcase for relentlessly funny dialogue, stunning set-pieces and a high-quality stable of new voice actors.

Pacy and playful in its humour, the film pauses only occasionally to let us appreciate the beauty of the animation.

Pixar er sandelig nogle dygtige magikere. Vi svømmer lystigt i deres enorme iderigdom, hvor selv detaljerne stråler og det hele ser naturligvis vanvittig flot ud.

Vittighederne er tætpakkede, og tempoet går derudaf, men filmen glemmer aldrig sin emotionelle kerne: behovet for at finde sit ophav og identitet og fejringen af forskellighed.
