Pixar is achieving something extraordinary in a sequel here: it's using the exact same setting and the exact same elements of the original Finding Nemo, to create an almost entirely independent story. The major difference, is that compared to the bubbly Nemo, Dory's world, whose owner suffers from short-term memory loss, is slightly but deservedly darker than the original. Nevertheless, the repeating and resonating theme of "be the best at who you are" in this case, is completely fitting for kids. This could've been the original movie instead of the sequel, and no one would have been the wiser.
