At the beginning of last year, "Zootopia" swept the global box office with one-sided praise upon its release, and the animation giant Disney captured the hearts of the people. Subsequent "Fantasy Forest" and "Captain America 3" were released strongly, and the long-awaited "Finding Nemo 2" sequel attacked again, and Disney dominated the big screen in the first half of 2016. Under the turbulent wave of the popularity of film and television sequels, animation works are not to be outdone, and are scrambling to launch derivative works. The sequel to Pixar's 2003 stand-alone work, Finding Nemo 2 has been controversial since its release. The Dancing Lantern team, which won the box office word-of-mouth award in the past, has now been under Disney for exactly 10 years. Standing on the shoulders of Hollywood animation giants, Pixar once again presented the sequel to the old classic works after the "Cars 2" suffered a terrible reputation in 2011. It is inevitable that people will once again question the decline of its original ability, and it also makes people familiar with Pixar and Disney. The animation fans of the anime induce heavy associations and bursts of sighs.

The good and bad sequels are either criticized as an insurance tool for making money in the market, or they are accused of the lack of creative strength of the producers, or they are criticized for continuing after the show. "It took 13 years to delay, and this inadvertent delay transformed the young fans who once admired it into elders full of nostalgia. Although it has been a long time since the release of the film, the story is closely related to the content of the upper part. In addition, it is still produced by Andrew Stanton, one of Pixar's "five veterans", and dubbed by the original cast. At first. Compared with the first film, this film still uses the theme of "finding", but the object or subject of the search is changed from the clown fish Nemo to the blue Tang king fish Dolly. In the film, Dolly, who dominates the host, searches for her parents by virtue of the flashback fragmented memories, and is also searched by Marlin and Nemo. The parallel search for each other implies Dolly's intention to find herself and transform into growth. In the cross-narrative of the three main lines, the film centers on family love and embellishes friendship, and interestingly weaves various cute and playful characters such as Octopus Hank, Whale Shark Yuner, Beluga Bailey, Sea Lion, Seal Dog, Sea Bird and so on. together.

In general, the creative plot, witty style, and realistic special effects of the film all follow the legacy of the previous work, which is warm and emotional yet humorous. In particular, the dialogue between Dolly and Hank the octopus, who has undergone many hardships and transformed into a long, is meaningful at the end of the film. "Plans are not the most important thing. Beautiful things are often born in an accidental moment. There is no complete certainty in life, and uncertainty and change are the beauty of life." A talk about life perception is like a bowl of "fish soup" for the soul, which makes the octopus who don't believe in the world around him invigorate, instantly opens his heart and opens his heart, and also makes the audience smell the strong fragrance of "fish soup". However, going beyond the film itself, the Disney imprint produced by Pixar is not the standard of the Jumping Lights team of yesteryear. Comparing Pixar's previous classic works vertically, and then competing horizontally with other animation and film products, this film can only be regarded as a mediocre work by the standards of the Hollywood animation industry. The film's well-established "family search" plot is far from Pixar's unrestrained imagination and the infinite creativity of the sword. The naive animals and cute lines with low childish tendencies make the film lose Pixar's ability to grasp complex worlds and characters, and "lose Pixar's usual creation and exploration of new worldviews".

It is undeniable that the film's excellent production and warm intentions are still excellent as a Disney family film, but as a Pixar work, it shows signs of the decline of the Jumping Lights team. As a delicious meal in the past, even if it is processed and fried to make it delicious, it will inevitably overflow the sour taste due to fermentation for a long time. Fortunately, there is a bowl of fish soup to neutralize it, so that the food will not be unbearable.
