Somehow, Dory and her cute little orange sidekick hadn&#8217;t made it into our family movie night rotation even though <em>Finding Nemo<\/em> has&nbsp;been one of my favorite animated movies since it first came out (yes, even though I was in college when it originally came out!)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been saving seeing&nbsp;<em>Finding Dory<\/em> with them until we&#8217;d watched the original movie&nbsp;together which means we missed the chance to see it in theaters but Christmastime gave us the much-needed downtime with no school or afternoon activities in which to settle in together as a family and experience both movies together.<\/p>\n<p>As I expected, all of my kiddos loved the original movie as much as I did and I enjoyed&nbsp;<em>Finding Dory<\/em> as much as they did (and as much as the first). And luckily we had our soft, strong and absorbent Kleenex\u00ae Finding Dory Tissues handy for the end of the movie when Dory finally found her parents and we were all overcome with joy for her. Which came at the perfect time, just after a great holiday where we somehow had no fighting, and reminded us of all the things we love about each other.<a
