25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2016 - Ranked

3. Finding Dory

Finding Dory 5
Pixar

Release Date: June 17th

Billed As: Dory gets her groove back.

Hype: Thirteen years (or six months in universe) after Dory completely stole the show in Finding Nemo, she's finally remembered something about her tragic childhood and goes in search of her family.

As Ellen DeGeneres has made it her business to tell everyone, Finding Nemo was far more deserving of a sequel than Monsters Inc or Cars, even if it similarly tied up the story. There was after all, always the spectre of Dory€™s backstory - which was oddly dark for a throwaway gag - and the characters were well worth revisiting.

Even so far away from the original, there€™s no denying Dory€™s charm, and the injection of lots of top level talent to the vocal cast adds all sorts of fresh appeal. Plus it's Pixar, so you're pretty much guaranteed a great yarn.
