Finding Dory focuses on the amnesiac fish Dory, and explores her journey to be reunited with her parents.Along the way, she is captured and taken to a California public aquarium, from which Marlin and Nemo attempt to rescue her.One year after the events of Finding Nemo, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) begins having fragmented dreams and flashbacks of her life prior to meeting Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo, particularly of her parents Jenny and Charlie (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy). After hearing a lecture from Mr. Ray about migration, where sea animals use their instinct to return home, Dory's memories are triggered, and she has the sudden urge to find her parents, only vaguely remembering that they lived at the Jewel of Morro Bay, California.
Marlin, who is initially reluctant, and Nemo decide to accompany Dory in her quest. With the help of Crush, the trio rides an ocean current to California. When Dory wanders near a shipwreck, they are forced to flee from a predatory giant squid which almost eats Nemo. Marlin and Dory manage to save Nemo, but result, Marlin angrily snaps at Dory, who almost got Nemo eaten. Although hurt, Dory decides to seek help for Nemo and travels to the surface, where (after getting tangled in trash) she is taken captive by volunteers from the nearby Marine Life Institute.
