13 Best Scenes From 2016's Summer Blockbusters

12. Dory & Hank Steal A Truck (Finding Dory)

X Men Apocalypse Batman V Superman Captain America Civil War
Pixar

The Scene: Dory (Ellen Degeneres) reaches the truck containing her friends who are to be sent to Cleveland, and with the help of octopus Hank (Ed O'Neill), hijacks the truck before driving it into the ocean, freeing all the aquatic life inside.

Why It's Awesome: Chasing a truck headed to far, far away may have happened in a Pixar movie before, but the sheer insanity of an octopus driving a car really added a ton of charm and joy to this one.

Yes, it's completely insane, but you're probably not alive if a smile didn't beam across your face while watching this, and the moment in which the fish are freed is straight out of Pixar's emotional catharsis playbook. It's pure movie magic, even if some might find it a little too unrealistic, even for a film about talking fish.
