Dory From Finding Nemo: A Brave and Optimistic Fish with Short Term Memory Loss

Dory is the lovable and highly optimistic fish from Finding Nemo. While its true she has her quirks, you cannot help but love her honest and friendly character whose loyalty helps Marlin get through hard times.

Dory´s motto throughout the film is, ¨Just Keep Swimming!¨ A lesson that teaches viewers no matter what problems come your way, you must keep going and you cannot give up. A lot of times, if you just ¨go with the flow,¨ your problems will naturally sort themselves out. That is exactly what happens when Marlin needs her help. Seen in the video below, Marlin is ready to give up on his search for his son. He is frustrated and tired, and although he sometimes becomes annoyed by Dory´s positive attitude and constant singing, it is what gets him through his struggle.

 

So next time you´re in a bind, just remember Dory´s brave and optimistic attitude and JUST KEEP SWIMMING!
