Finding Dory Live Blog

No, I haven't seen it yet.

Yes, I know it's been out a while.

No, I don't have an excuse.

Joining me today is Kira, a husky mix with half-adorable/half-creepy heterochromia. Who better to guest commentate on an animal film than an animal, right?

Let's begin.

Does anyone else expect the little lamp to go flying when it squashes down the 'I' in Pixar? Just me?

How exactly is she supposed to remember to tell children she has short-term memory loss?

And what responsible parent plays hide-and-seek with their memory-challenged child?

Is her father actually Marlin? Because he worries like Marlin.

How does she remember her name?

How did the VW Beetle end up at the bottom of the ocean?

Do we know how long Finding Nemo lasted?

This is one of those things Marlin's going to hold over his child forever, isn't it?

(Kira, do you like the song?) (...) (Right, then.)

The manta song rocks.

Seriously, where is this reef? They went across an ocean to Australia. California is another ocean away. I'm confused.

Sooooomewheeere, oouuuttt there!

Turtles. Sweeeeet, dude.

Is this a shipping container shipping ship? Yes, it is. And it's inhabited by the Giant Squid.

And children, this is why you cut up your plastic rings before you throw them away.

No child is going to go into ocean conservation if they think they're separating families.

I totally fell for this octopus thing. He's hilarious.

No one wants to go to Cleveland.

(How about you, Kira? Cleveland?) (::snore::)

Coffee cannot be good for squid.

Idris Elba as a sea lion. Yes, please.

Something tells me we don't want to know who Destiny is.

Yup. That's a problem. Get this fish some sonar.

Of course she learned whale from a whale shark.

How many things rhyme with open ocean? I get the feeling we'll find out soon.

These ducks look evil. Becky is hilarious.

Wow. This kid has some sass.

Gerald looks like a deformed ferret.

(Kira looked up when I started laughing.)

Really? She can fit into a sippy cup?

Remember when I was concerned about the lamp? Yeah, that was why.

Why is Sigourney Weaver the voice of the Marine Institute?

Wow, Hank. Harsh.

Horror movie of the year. Starring children.

Instinct. The answer is instinct.

That is a very dangerous course of action. Also, do they know what a tide pool does?

Awww. Octopus blush. Septapus, sorry.

I'm pretty sure all of these fish have very precise pH requirements for their water. And she's been in how many different water sources now?

Don't tell me. They put her parents back in the ocean.

Who puts a giant suction pipe in an exhibit?

Ah, The Cleveland.

Yay, she found them again! (Marlin and Nemo, Kira. Not her parents yet.)

If the flag goes down, does that mean that Sigourney Weaver is no longer in residence?

Disney. Come on. The dead parent trope needs to stop.

Ooh. Right back to the beginning. With smaller eyes.

(Kira's heartbroken. Truly.)

WWMD? (What would Marlin do?)

Her parents are awesome. Shell runways FTW!

Pretty sure the Marine Life Institute shouldn't have walls they can jump over.

Bridge.

Yes! Cute otters are cute.

That's right, Dory. Tell off the weird septapus.

Yeah, try explaining that the septapus drove your truck away.

Do a kamikaze dive off the bridge.

Called it!

Oh, look at all these non-native species going into their non-native environment.  I'm sure this will end well.

I would have been disappointed with any other song.

(What did you think, Kira?) (...) (I don't think she cares about fish.)

That was cute. Nothing complicated. And only one still-dead parent this time! Good job, guys.

Do they hunt down escaped marine life? What would PETA do? Probably kill them.

(Kira woke up for the post-credit scene. Now we need a movie with these guys. Kira agrees.)
