Finding Dory

Although she may have a tough time remembering, it’s hard to forget the first time we met Dory in Finding Nemo. The movie featured an adorable cast of characters, charming under-the-sea fun, and a family story that made waves 13 years ago. Now, our favorite band of aquatic friends is reuniting, in a story that follows everyone’s favorite forgetful fish, Dory, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres. Finding Dory hits theaters on June 17, but in the meantime, we’ve rounded up our favorite toys to bring home an ocean full of fun.

Finding Dory Toys LET’S SPEAK WHALE (BANDAI)
Remember when you first saw Finding Nemo and then spent the past 13 years trying to perfect your own whale language? Now, Bandai lets kids speak whale just like Dory with Finding Dory Let’s Speak Whale. Designed for kids ages 3 and up, Dory records kids’ voices and then plays it back with various effects with the press of a button. The 10-inch Finding Dory Feature Plush speaks four phrases from the movie and comes in a variety of characters. As the master toy partner, Bandai will also offer a line of various products including Squigglefish, bath squirters, and Hatch ‘n Heroes.


Robo Fish Finding Dory ToysFINDING DORY ROBOFISH (ZURU)
We know from the declining fish population in the coral reefs that everyone wants to take home their very own Dory, Marlin, and Nemo—and thanks to Zuru, now they can do just that in an environmentally friendly way. The Finding Dory RoboFish feature kids’ favorite characters in the form of little robotic fish that look lifelike as they swim through water. The characters feature a “power save” mode and will automatically switch off after four minutes in the water to save power and will reawaken once dried and placed back in the water.

UM. No. Stop it. These are the cutest things in the entire world. Build-A-Bear introduces it’s Finding Dory, featuring Dory (of course), Nemo (OMG. THOSE EYES.), and Ocean Bear, who is so beautifully cerulean. Ocean Bear also has a bunch of cute Finding Dory fashion accessories, such as a hoodie (I can’t). These make my heart so happy.

Mash’Ems, from Tech 4 Kids, are collectibles that kids can squish, mash, and stretch and are now available in Finding Dory characters so kids can bring home the movie fun. If I’m being honest, the faces on these characters alone tell me that Hank is going to be my new favorite. #Hank4Ever


DoryOperationOPERATION FINDING DORY EDITION (HASBRO)
Kids can help Dory, Hank, and their fish friend in Hasbro’s Operation: Finding Dory Edition game. Players must skillfully remove each fish with the tweezers, and keep a steady hand so to avoid setting off the buzzer. If the alarm lights up, the fish will be trapped! To win, players must collect all the Funatomy fish. I’m obsessed. (Once again, #Hank4Ever.)


nullFINDING DORY SUBMARINE (KID TRAX)
Kids can go on their own adventures with the Kid Trax Finding Dory Submarine. This six-volt, battery-powered ride on makes me super jealous that I’m probably too big for it. It comes with a clear submarine dome and LED lights. There is a removable working periscope and a motorized propeller that lets kids create their own stories.

Check out the latest Finding Dory trailer below and cut to me: sobbing in a movie theater. This is going to be Toy Story 3 all over again, isn’t it?:
