A thirteen-year difference lies between two connected Pixar movies that both involve a soul finding their way home. Finding Dory begins with brief flashbacks of the previous movie Finding Nemo and then picks up a year after its ending.

She constantly bumps into the aquarium walls because she is drastically near sighted. Even though all of these main characters are disabled, they still live out their life with loving friends.
