10 Heart-Breaking Pixar Backstories You Probably Missed
4. Dory's Family - Finding Nemo
As fans discovered Finding Dory, Dory wasn't always on her own: it's just the advantage of her cursed memory that she can't remember who shes lost properly and shes happy enough floating through existence entertaining herself with her child-like imagination.
Except thats not entirely the case. With the simple, utterly disarming throwaway words: where are they? Dory confirms that she does know what she's lost, and while its almost flippantly thrown away, the implications are entirely tragic.
And even with the sequel filling in the gaps, the most devastating part is why nobody actually really looked for her.
