Toy Story 2 vs. Finding Dory
Did you know that Finding Dory is the same story as another Pixar sequel? That's right. Toy Story 2. Let me tell you why.
After the events of the first film (Toy Story; Finding Nemo), a primary character (Woody; Dory) is separated from the rest of his/her friends (Woody is stolen by Al McWhiggin, a greedy toy collector; Dory has a flashback and goes out to find her parents, and is later captured by staff members at the Marine Life Institute) after going outside (Woody tries to rescue Wheezy, an abandoned penguin squeeze toy, from a yard sale; Dory goes on a field trip to witness the migration of the stingrays) the main setting (Andy's house; Great Barrier Reef). The main character's best friend (Buzz Lightyear; Marlin) goes after him/her (Buzz, along with Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, and Rex, set out to rescue Woody; Marlin and his son, Nemo, accompany Dory on her journey to find her parents). The main character ends up in an enclosed space (Al's apartment; the quarantine section of the institute), where he/she meets an older character (Stinky Pete; Hank) who wants to become an exhibit (Stinky Pete, having never been bought, sold, or played with, wants to go to a Japanese toy museum to be appreciated forever; Hank, due to a traumatic ocean life, wants to get to quarantine so he can go to an aquarium in Cleveland), as well as an old female friend (Jessie; Destiny) from his/her past (Woody, Jessie, Stinky Pete, and a horse named Bullseye are collector's items from a 1950s television series called Woody's Roundup; Dory and Destiny used to talk to each other through the pipes connecting their exhibits). Meanwhile, the rest of the protagonists search an elaborate facility (Al's Toy Barn; the Marine Life Institute) for the main character, using a plastic object (traffic cones; a bucket) to sneak through a crowded place undetected (the toys try to cross a busy street to get to Al's Toy Barn; Marlin and Nemo get into the institute with the help of two sea lions, Fluke and Rudder, and a disfigured loon named Becky). The primary characters reunite (the toys find Woody, and Buzz tries to convince him to come home with them; Marlin and Nemo find Dory in the pipe system, and learn from the other regal blue tangs that Dory's parents escaped from the institute to search for her, but never came back), only to be separated by the older captive (Woody realizes that Buzz was right, and tries to leave, but Stinky Pete stops the Roundup gang from leaving; Hank retrieves Dory from the tank, accidentally leaving Marlin and Nemo behind, then is captured by an employee, dropping Dory into the drain and sending her back into the ocean). At the climax, the protagonists commandeer a truck (the toys steal a Pizza Planet truck and follow Al to the airport in it; Dory persuades Hank to return to the ocean with her, and they hijack the truck transporting various aquatic creatures to Cleveland) and prevent the captive creatures from reaching their destination (Woody, Buzz, and Bullseye get Jessie off the plane just as it departs, while Stinky Pete is stuffed in a little girl's backpack; Hank and Dory crash the truck into the ocean, freeing all the fish). In the end, all of the main characters return home (when Andy returns from cowboy camp, he accepts Jessie, Bullseye, and three squeeze toy aliens from the Pizza Planet truck as his new toys; Dory, along with her parents and new friends, return to the sea with Marlin and Nemo) with a new outlook on life (Woody accepts that Andy will inevitably grow up, and tells Buzz that until then, they have each other; Dory and Marlin go to the edge of the reef, where Dory says the adventure was "unforgettable").
