Maureen also creates a dream of her own, and wants nothing more than to go back to California. Though Maureen was young when her and her family lived in California, this is the only place that she wanted to go. Jeannette and Lori tell Maureen of the great times that they had in California and explain to Maureen that she has such blonde hair because of all the gold in California, and blue eyes because of the ocean. Maureen responds, “’[California] is where I’m going to live when I grow up’” explains Walls (207). The stories that Jeannette and Lori tell are responsible for Maureen’s dream to go back to California. However, it seems that Maureen takes after her parents, and struggles to fulfill her dream.

Dory is a female fish who helps another fish named Marlin find his son. Dory fits the word “Heroism”(Babich 238) very well. She is helpful, caring, and resilient. At one point during the film Marlin wants to give up, but Dory encourages him to keep going. However she does not fit the word “Sexiness”(Babich 238) at all. Partly because she is a fish, but mostly because her being sexy would not contribute to the story at all. She doesn't need to be sexy because who she is as a character is so important to the story. she doesn't need to be sexy, to be interesting. Dory is a great example of a female protagonist in a Pixar film even though Stefan Babich says “There aren’t any. Not a single one.”(Babich 236)
Marlin is a clownfish who had a very traumatic event happen to him, that prompts his quest and journey. Marlin and his wife Coral had just become parents after finding a home for their eggs. Unfortunately, the family was faced with a barracuda attack in which Coral and all but one of the eggs died. Marlin and his one surviving egg Nemo live a cautious life, never wanting to leave the reef and enter the open ocean. One day Nemo swims out to touch the “butt” of a boat in the open ocean. He is later captured by a scuba diver, making Nemo become our damsel in distress. A damsel in distress in a vulnerable person who needs the hero to save. Even though Nemo is a not a woman he fits the description perfectly. On the other hand, we have Dory. Dory is a very crucial character in the movie’s storyline. Without her knowledge in speaking whale and reading human/english Marlin would never had been able to save Nemo. Equally
After Joshua her new pet goldfish, died and she was burying him her parents were watching outside the window. In the text it says “ Then she buried him in the backyard, along with his castle. her parents watched her from a window, inside the house.” So I think the parents learn how to care for their child so next time they won’t buy a cheap and old fish.
Most fish treat her normally when they first meet her, but only until they realize that she has a problem. In many cases when Dory approaches fish for help, they act civilly, but make no effort to assist her. Some of these cases can be attributed to the fish’s desire to stay neutral and not get involved in other creature’s lives, but others are just made uncomfortable when faced with Dory’s mental illness. When baby Dory is separated from her parents, there is a transitional montage of her looking for help from passersby, but not finding anyone to stop and help her. Some fish swim away before she can introduce herself, and others only listen and feign sympathy for her. Even Marlin, who eventually becomes Dory’s best friend, tries to avoid her after he realizes she is amnesic. “Something’s wrong with you, really. You’re wasting my time. I’ve got to find my son” (Stanton and Unkrich, 2003). On their second adventure together in Finding Dory, Marlin still unintentionally makes her feel inferior due to her illness. “You know what you can do, Dory? Go wait over there and forget. It’s what you do best” (Stanton and MacLane, 2016). It took time and patience for him to get to a point where he could treat Dory as an equal, but even after knowing and interacting with her for over a year, there are still days when he loses his
Dory is a Regal Blue Tang that lives in the ocean along with her friends Marlin and Nemo. She has a charming personality, and is a very happy and excited character. Dory would love to chat with you all day and tell you her whole life story...but she can’t. Dory is a very forgetful fish and can’t seem to remember things very well. She suffers from short term memory loss, and is unable to retain her memories. According to Dory’s bio on Disney.com, “Dory is the friendliest fish in the ocean. Although she suffers from short term memory loss, to Dory, the glass is always half full.” In the previous movie Finding Nemo, Dory offers to help Marlin on his journey to find his missing son, Nemo. When she starts traveling with Marlin, her memory can
Both being clown fish, Nemo and Marlin live in the ocean, in the anemone. Marlin is Nemo’s father who is viewed as being overprotective towards Nemo. Marlin portrays the characteristic of being overprotective because while Nemo was in the egg as a baby, one of his fins was damaged. Nemo, tired of his overprotective father decides that he wants to prove himself by swimming into the open ocean. However, things do not turn out very well and Nemo is captured by a scuba diver. Parenting instinct kick in, and Marlin immediately swims after the boat that is now carrying Nemo. Marlin eventually loses sight of the boat, however throughout the duration of the movie, he continues to look for his son Nemo. While on his journey to find Nemo, Marlin meets a blue tang fish named Dory, who suffers from sort term memory loss (Stanton & Unkrich,2003). With the help of Dory, they are able to eventually find Nemo (Stanton & Unkrich, 2003). Come

She opens the door to her childhood, beginning with when she was 3 years old and boiling her own hot dog by standing on top of the chair to reach the stovetop. While doing that, her pink dress catches on the fire because of which gets her horribly burned. She spends a few days in the hospitals and enjoys it too, because she is getting food on time and is not left starving. One day her dad shows up and they run off out of the hospital without paying the bills of her treatment. That night her family leaves the town and move to another place, taking as much stuff as possible with them. Most of her childhood memories involve her whole family- mom, dad, Jeanette, Lori, Brian, and later on Maureen -moving from one desert towns to another, settling in as long as her dad can hold the job. This happened more frequently due to the dad’s alcoholism coupled with his paranoia about the organized society and the state. One of the towns they stayed in was Battle Mountain, Nevada, where they spend a few months. Jeanette and her brother Brian spent many hours exploring the desert and collecting rocks. Even their mother got a job as a teacher and
His next encounter involves a school of jellyfish which descend down upon them while they are going over a gorge. Trying to save Dori from any injury, knowing that he isn't going to be hurt nearly as bad from their stingers, he plays a game with Dori.

But when Dori gets caught in the tentacles of several jellyfish he risks his own life to save her and carry her body through the rest of the school. This is something that he wouldn't have even
“Can you imagine being in a small concrete enclosure for your life when you’re used to swimming 100 miles a day?” This is how captive dolphins live everyday, their natural habitat is swimming miles and miles in the ocean. When they get captured their lives change for the worse. In the past decade Seaworld and captive animals has been a controversial subject. Many people believe the keeping orca whales captive is damaging to the animal and affects them in a negative way. Others believe Seaworld is used to rescue animals and save them. The treatment of animals in captivity is cruel and should be stopped. Keeping animals captive is an appalling punishment.

As an offspring of the 1990s, I long back ago about how often I've seen "Finding Nemo" – and given Pixar's new affinity for spin-offs, an arrival to that richly introduced submerged world was maybe unavoidable. Set quite a while after "Nemo," "Finding Dory" focuses on the cherished blue tang with memory issues, who wanders forward on a transoceanic adventure looking for her departed guardians. Appropriately, "Finding Dory" has to a lesser degree a street motion picture vibe than the first. There's Hank, a delightfully curmudgeonly octopus set on getting exchanged to an aquarium in Cleveland; Destiny, an astigmatic (and marginally ditzy) whale shark; Bailey, a self-tormentor beluga whale, whose endeavors at echolocation are a portion of the film's most clever
