Disney PlusDisney PlusPreviously, Dory was a helping character in the original film, Finding Nemo (2003). This study aimed to identify Dory’s characterizations by using textual analysis to find the uniqueness of Dory in the film. The analysis resulted in Dory’s paradoxical characterization where she was forgetful yet creative, reliant yet independent, and anxious yet confident.
The effects of Dory’s contagious fellow-feeling, again exquisitely embodied by DeGeneres, help to assuage nagging concerns over Finding Dory ’s lack of conceptual originality and its increasingly preposterous caper antics. (Too many of its set pieces are marginally enhanced updates of similar scenes from Finding Nemo.)
