everything you need to make it a 'Finding Dory' summer

It’s taken over 12 years.

But it’s finally here.

Finding Dory hits the theaters today, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Hard to believe that we met Nemo more than 12 years ago–twelve years!–and so it’s definitely time we see Marlin, Nemo, Dory, and all our undersea friends again.

The movie was beautiful.

Beautiful.

The graphics, the characters, the story, the messages–oh man, all of it. Loved it.

Maddy, Owen, Cora, and I had a chance to check it out as a press preview, and, friends, we laughed.

We cried.

We gasped.

We laughed some more.

We shrieked.

We yelled.

We sighed.

We laughed some more.

I won’t tell you everything, but I’ll guarantee this: it was well worth the wait.

And so, to celebrate, I’ve got a ton of ways you can make this a Finding Dory summer: books, printables, games,
