Something that I love about "Children's" movies is that they usually have an underlying message they try to get across to the audience. Finding Dory's: Wild Animals DO NOT belong in captivity. Shout out to you guys, SEAWORLD.
The sequel to "Finding Nemo," "Finding Dory," takes place in a Marine Life Institute which perfectly captured the lives of the animals that are kept in captivity. Dory ends up trapped in a glass case amongst tons of other underwater creatures, showing hers (and their) desperate attempt to escape. She ended up in the Marine Life Institute while she was on her way to finding her family. As she was doing that, two humans reached down into the water, and as usual, humans being humans, took her against her will and shoved her into a cooler. She later ends up in an exhibit reunited with one of her long lost friends, a whale named Destiny, who has sadly lost her sight and ability to properly navigate around, due to being crammed in an environment that was too small for her to grow. It's devastating because it demonstrates her loss of natural skills she could have developed in a wild environment instead of a glass case. Destiny constantly runs into walls and other man-made items in her exhibit which causes her to have a high level of insecurity in the outside world. When it was time to approach the outside world, Bailey, another whale, says to her; "There are no walls in the ocean."
This is something that happens to millions of other wildlife animals trapped in captivity. I'm glad that mainstream media finally took advantage of this subject and captured it through a popular movie that will reach millions.
Oh, and by the way, Finding Dory was 5/5 stars for me. Highly recommend it!
