I've been waiting for the Finding Dory Blu-ray ever since I first watched it on the big screen. To say I was a big fan of Finding Nemo is quite the understatement. I've watched Finding Nemo more than any other Pixar movie, so when word spread about Finding Dory – I was enthralled with excitement! After all, Ellen Degeneres is my idol.
