Finding Dory surfaced on June 17, 2016, thirteen years after Finding Nemo, with Andrew Stanton directing again and Ellen DeGeneres back as the forgetful blue tang.

This quiz covers the story, the voice cast from Ed O'Neill and Diane Keaton to Idris Elba and Sigourney Weaver as herself, the long road to the sequel including Disney's abandoned Circle Seven version, the aquariums Pixar visited for research, the ending rewritten after Blackfish, Thomas Newman's score, the Piper short, and a box-office run that broke the animated opening record and passed a billion dollars. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play in sets of ten or print it for a Pixar night.
