What Disney character am I?


I believe that out of all the Disney movies I have seen, I am most similar to the character Dory. Dory is the blue fish from Finding Nemo. Dory and I share many characteristics. Dory is scatterbrained, forgetful, and a little kooky. At the same time however, Dory is easy going, persistent, and she is everybody’s friend.

Dory is introduced into the movie by crossing paths with Marlin (Nemo’s Dad), and about thirty seconds later she forgets they ever met. I am not as bad as her when it comes to my memory, but I do have an extreme problem with remembering people’s names. Dory is very kooky throughout the whole movie. I think she is kooky in a good way though. For example, when she tries to become friends with sharks. This is not something an average fish would do, but it is something Dory would do.

The first adventure Marlin and Dory get sucked into is an “AA” meeting with a group of sharks. The shark’s motto is “fish are friends, not food”, most fish are expected to be terrified of sharks, but Dory just wants to be their friend. Marlin keeps coming up with different excuses to get away, but Dory is having a good time. This shows that she is willing to be friends with everyone. Dory’s “just keep swimming” approach to life, is basically the same theory I have about life. In my mind it means just do what you can to get by, and do not focus on what you can not control.
