Is this to much Disney/Pixar?
When “Finding Dory” swims into theaters in June, youngsters who saw the first “Finding Nemo” back in 2003 while still in diapers, tossing back apple juice filled sippy-cups, will nearly be adults.
Seventy-three students from grades 11 and 12, a near 50-50 ratio of males to females, said that they plan to see “Finding Dory” when it comes in June 2016, which means that “just keep swimming” will be acceptable once again to sing in public. The plot of “Finding Dory,” according to Pixar, “reunites the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish with her loved ones, and everyone learns a few things about the true meaning of family along the way.”
Out of this same group, about 48 percent believe that coming out with this movie was not necessary while 52 percent believe that it was.
“I like Disney movies, but also because in ‘Finding Nemo’ Dory talks about her family but not much else about them,” junior Alex Knipple said. “I would like to see how she got there, where she was and how her sister, who was in the tank with Nemo at the dentist, got separated and to find out about her backstory.”
Disney/Pixar also has made many other sequels to original movies such as, “Toy Story,” which will be coming out with its fourth movie in June 2018. From the same group of student respondents, 58 percent believe that they are making this film to make money rather than continue the story, and 26 percent believed they were doing this to continue the story. Sixty percent also believed that a fourth “Toy Story” is too many.
“I just think that the first two were good because of Andy,” senior Kim Ely said. “ I don’t like the fact Andy won’t be at least a big part about it, and it gives me the feels.”
All in all, over 50 percent of the surveyed groups said that they believed that the recent resurgence in Disney/Pixar movies is a good thing.
“If you watch Finding Dory with a sippy-cup and blanket you won’t get any judgment from me,” Junior Sarah Shevrovich said.
