Disney Pixar’s Finding Dory *NOW* on Digital HD & Blu-ray

This summer my family and I went to see Finding Dory in theaters twice! It was our favorite movie of the summer. Finding Dory is the perfect sequel to Finding Nemo. Dory is on an adventure to find her family, but her short term memory loss makes the journey a little tricky. The movie has some of the familiar underwater creatures we love and some hilarious new ones. Dory, Marlin, and Nemo meet a grumpy “septopus” named Hank, Destiny the whale shark, and Bailey, a beluga whale. My kids also fell in love with tiny baby Dory! She is super adorable, and it is so fun watching her with her loving parents Charlie and Jenny.

I was so excited for Finding Dory to come out on Digital HD and Blu-ray. I always love Disney movie bonus features and the bonus features on Finding Dory did not disappoint. My kids and I fell in love with the Pixar Short Piper! Piper is this darling new little bird who is out looking for things to eat before the tide comes in. It is an adorable and funny little movie.

My family’s favorite bonus features are the deleted scenes and also the Hidden “Seacrets” of Finding Dory. My kids always love watching and then rewatching Disney movies to find the Easter Eggs. They have gotten great at finding them.

Finding Dory is exciting and suspenseful with all of the funny comedy we love from Dory. I love that Finding Dory helps teach how important family is and that a family can made in all sorts of ways.
