20 Essential Movie Moments That Will Define 2016
19. Dory Meets Her Family - Finding Dory
The Moment: After Dory's childhood memories come flooding back to her and she partakes on an adventure with Nemo and Marlin, she finally meets up with her parents, Jenny and Charlie (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy), for a joyous and very, very weird reunion.
Why It Will Define 2016: Because Finding Nemo is such a cultural touchstone for so many people both young and old(er). It's been 13 years since the original film, and to see Dory's backstory expanded in a hopefully poignant and meaningful way will undeniably impact a lot of viewers. Plus, it's Pixar, and pretty much nobody knows how to turn on the water-works like they do.
With Keaton and Levy bringing their distinctive personalities to the parent roles, we're expecting both hearty laughs and a plot dripping with humanity.
