"Finding Dory" Finds Disaster

The new animated hot topic by Disney-Pixar, "Finding Dory," officially hit theaters June 17 and was open early for a first see on June 16. It is the sequel to "Finding Nemo" released 12 years and 11 months earlier on May 30, 2003.

The movie explores Dory traveling to find her parents. She embarks on an adventure that could separate the daring trio - Marlin, Nemo and Dory - forever.

“I LOVED IT SO MUCH,” stated Indiana University of Pennsylvania freshman, Ashley Miller. “It was probably one of the most heart-wrenching movies ever made.”

Tagging in old fan favorites and bringing in fresh comedy flesh, the movie itself is considered a must see by many, and if "Finding Dory" follows in "Finding Nemo"'s footsteps, it will be a classic for those of all ages and demand heaven for "Finding Dory" merchandise companies.

However, many wildlife experts are stressing to people to “Watch Dory, don’t buy her,” a video from Quartz stated.

While Nemo and Marlin are based on real-life Clownfish, Dory is based off of a more delicate type, the Blue Tang.

“Not just my kids, everyone’s kids are gonna want it,” stated tropical fish collector, Martin Luzanilla in Quartz’s video.

In 2003, with the release of "Finding Nemo," sales of clownfish skyrocketed and it was easy to meet the demand, for clownfish can be bred in tanks.

Dory cannot, and to add insult to injury, she gets sick rather easily and has to be caught in the wild.

“I’ve been preparing for the past year and a half to get us to this point,” said Kris Bunya, owner of LAX Aquarium in Los Angelos. “This is gonna ramp up our business big time.”

National Public Radio (NPR) contributed an article to state this very fact, "Please, Let’s Not Find Dory" by Barbara J. King.

“It happened when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies came out; at one point, 90 percent of purchased turtles were estimated to have died in the United States alone,” the article stated.

“It happened in the wake of Beverly Hills Chihuahua — and the tiny dogs paid the price when they were abandoned at high rates. It happened with 'Finding Nemo,' when children clamored for clownfish. Some children, seeking to give their new pets freedom through the same route used by Nemo in the film, flushed their fish down the toilet.”

The article cited behavioral ecologist, Culum Brown of Macquarie University.

When asked what advice he would give for those wishing to seek the Blue Tang as a pet, he responded with, “I have only one thing to say to people who want to keep blue tangs ... DON'T! For one, keeping marine aquariums is not the sort of thing you can just pick up and do. It takes a lot of work and know how. If you want to try to keep fish, start with freshwater.”

“Secondly, there is every chance that your blue tang was illegally collected from the wild. There is no point in supporting that industry and killing the fish in the process.”

And when looking for a physical representation of the "Finding Dory" experience, maybe a stuffed animal instead.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
