Something I love about these movies is how well they make the fish work in a world that's not suited to them.  i constantly think "how is Dory going to get from a to b?" and they find a brilliant way of doing it.  There's so much tension and surprise in this because everything could go wrong in an instant and if it does, there's nothing they can do about it.  You know that it's a cartoon and everything will work out, but they manage to surprise you with HOW it works out.  I think that's great.

I love the Aquarium... I also love that the WHOLE thing was built in the computer, even rooms we didn't see.  That way, if the narrative made them take a different path, they could take it.  It's like a video game, they have that whole world to explore.

Obviously, being a special needs kid, this really pulled at my heartstrings.  I can appreciate what Dory's parents are going through as well as Dory's struggle to interface with the world around her.
