Finding Dory: A Movie Review - MOW #122

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Harambe! Finding Dory! Spoiler Alert! Welcome to another episode of the Magic Our Way podcast. We are a New Orleans based Disney fan podcast. We appreciate your listening to our show and we hope it brings a smile to your face. We also appreciate your feedback and are committed to listening to our audience.

 

On today’s show, we have Danny and Lee-an agent of www.magicalmomentsvacations.com.

Welcome to the HUB and for this episode, Danny and Lee review the movie, Finding Dory which came out in theaters in the United States of America on June 17, 2016.

 

Thirteen years ago on May 30, 2003, Pixar gave us a story about a father on a desperate search to find the last remaining member of his family. It took him from his home in a coral reef to the EAC (Eastern Australian Current) to a forest of jellyfish and more.

 

In 2016, the story is reversed. In Finding Nemo, the parent is looking for the child; in Finding Dory, the child is looking for the parent. And, as you can judge by the title, fun and adventure ensue because of the central character.

 

Listen to what Danny and Lee thought about this movie and be sure to contact us and let us know what you thought about it. WARNING: it is a spoiler filled episode. So, if you have not seen the movie, wait to listen to this episode until after you have seen it. If you are not bothered by spoilers, by all means, listen away.

Fellow MOWicans, ladies, and gentlemen, it is a HUB show today!!! In the HUB, we do a little armchair imagineering. It is neither a Plus It episode nor a Park It episode. We flat out get creative and do a little magic our way. These aren’t blue sky ideas either; these are things that can feasibly placed into the parks today.

 

With all of the talk surrounding the Disney’s NEW Jungle Skipper Canteen Restaurant that was placed in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, the boys discuss what attraction themed restaurants they would create in each of the four WDW parks.

 

The rules are as follows:

  • Create one quick service restaurant based on an attraction
  • Create one table service restaurant based on an attraction
  • Create a menu, signature dishes, etc.
  • Each person gets ones park to create with
    • Magic Kingdom: Danny
    • Epcot: Eli
    • Hollywood Studios: Lee
    • Animal Kingdom: Kevin

And that’s it! Quick, simple, creative, and fun!
