I was so ecstatic to be rubbing elbows with some of Atlanta's well-known celebrities.  Never have I been in one place with so many celebs.  All this time living in Atlanta, it took becoming a blogger to meet stars in person.  But hey, better late than never I guess.


I have a confession, I have never seen FINDING NEMO before, so I didn't know what to expect in the film besides fish trying to find Dory.   I know, shameful, I'm probably one of the only person on this planet that never seen the first movie.  My homework this summer, watch FINDING NEMO to check out how it all started.


And just wow, FINDING NEMO came out in theaters in 2003, my girls weren't even born yet, I was still living in California attending college.  But the funny thing is, during that time I was working at a video store, so I could've watched FINDING NEMO for free.  I guess during that period in my life all I cared about was making money for clothes shopping, paying for my college classes, making sure my hair was done monthly at the beauty salon, pretty much I wasn't into movies back then, even while working at a video store.  I got into watching animated films after having kids.

About the Film:  Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin, Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them. Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save mom and dad from captivity.

My thoughts about FINDING DORY, it's a super cute movie, something you would expect with Disney/Pixar.  They stay amazing me.  We enjoyed the movie from beginning to end, well done!  I wonder what took them so long to make the sequel?


Make sure to see FINDING DORY with your family, comes to theaters June 17th.  #FindingDory
