[[WMG: [[VindicatedByHistory Some years from now, this movie is going to be considered a Pixar classic that is on par with the original]], as well as all of the pre-''[[WesternAnimation/Cars2]]'' films and ''[[WesternAnimation/InsideOut]]''.]]

* Because Pixar is currently going through a DorkAge of otherwise decidedly poor sequels, as well as a few bad original films, it simply wasn't the right time for the film to be made; as it is, it's sadly seems to have become DeaderThanDisco already. However, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a VindicatedByHistory and a favorite among fans like it deserves to. Hopefully, if a third film is made, Pixar will have gotten back on track.

* That doesn’t make them ‘not lesbians’, it just means their relationship is never technically confirmed. (Why are some people do desperate to deny the existence of lgbt characters in anything?)

* Probably not. Given how long it took to animate Hank's scenes, the probability that he'd appear in the sequel (possibly as a main character) and thus need to be animated again, and the need for the third movie to be even more advanced, it's unlikely that it'll be made within 5 years. I'm personally betting on 2028, as the 2''5th'' anniversary.

to:

* It's probably based on her ability to use mnemonics. Baby Dory didn't have the training to create mnemonics on a whim as her adult self does, and when she's stressed she loses the capability. She has to actively repeat information in order to retain it, and if she can't focus for whatever reason, she can't remember.
** Note that whenever she forgets something during a conversation, it's because she was distracted in some way. It's like trying to hold water; once you have it, it's somewhat easy to keep it, but drop it for a second and there's little way to get it back.

* The idea of an arctic setting (as mentioned above) could be very interesting and a nice way to switch things up after having Australia and California as the settings.

[[WMG: The protagonist of the third film will be either Gill or Hank.]]

* So we've had a movie about Marlin and Nemo, and a movie about Dory, so the main three have all had their time in the spotlight. So who should be the protagonist next? Hank would be the obvious choice, as there's obviously some history about him that has yet to be explored, and it would allow Dory to still get more screentime as she could be paired with him for the story. The other good choice would be Gill, since the Tank Gang were not only mostly left out of the second film, but were given a scene at the end that if anything, is a SequelHook for a movie about ''them''.

[[WMG: Dory's memory problems ''do'' run in her family.]]
Since Dory's parents don't have short-term memory loss, it seems reasonable to assume that Dory was mistaken about it running in her family. But that's not necessarily the case. It could be that one or more of her grandparents had it. If one (or, God forbid, both) of Jenny's parents had it, that could've been very hard for her growing up, which would do even more to explain why she's so concerned for Dory's future. It could also be where she and Charlie learned all the techniques they use to help Dory remember things.

* That may be true, but how is that 'less than pure'? Most of the fish we see seem perfectly happy to be living there, and for some living in captivity may be the only way they can live. Take Destiny, for example. Without Bailey's help she'd struggle to survive in the open ocean, and the MLI had no way of knowing that fish could form friendships and hel each other like that, so to them, it appeared that they were giving her the only possible life she could have. We also see the MLI helping ill and injured fish, like how they removed the plastic from Dory and helped the Tank Gang out of their bags. Keeping some fish on display and charging people to see them may just be their way of funding the work they are doing rescuing fish. They also seem to place an emphasis on education, which is useful as it helps prevent cases like Darla in the first film, where people accidentally injure or kill their pet fish. The only questionable thing I can see is the Touch Pool, as most of the creatures there seemed to live in constant fear of the 'hands'.

Until the filmmakers saw Blackfish, the movie was going to end with some of the characters going to a Seaworld-type theme park, but the ending is being altered. Perhaps they're going to end up in more of an ocean animal sanctuary where they're fed and people come to see them, but they can come and go as they please.

[[WMG: The MLI's motives are less than pure.]]
The MLI has no intention of releasing most of their animals. Or possibly any. As soon as Dory was caught, she was tagged to go to Cleveland with the rest of the blue tangs, even though nothing was wrong with her. Even if the humans could tell she had memory problems, given that she was tagged the second she arrived, no such testing could've possibly been done. She was tagged simply because she was another pretty blue tang.

Nothing seems to be wrong with the majority of the animals at the MLI either. Nothing seemed to be wrong with Dory's parents or any of the other blue tangs. Or any of the fish in that tank. And some exhibits are obviously just for recreation, such as the touch pool. There was even a live clam in a tank. What could possibly be wrong with the clam that it couldn't be released?! The only animals that had anything wrong with them were Bailey and Destiny.

The only animal there was even remotely evidence for possible release was Hank. And there's two things wrong with that. First being that we only have his word to go on that he was being released. He could've been mistaken. Second is that assuming he was being released, it could've been because he has a tendency to break out of his enclosure (getting Dory wasn't the first time since the workers comment that he got out "again").

In short, the MLI was basically just a zoo.

He has some rather unique traits and, when we first see him, is the only character in any of the two movies who ''wants'' to be in human captivity. Between that, his surly attitude, his touch phobia, his missing tentacle, and his skill as an escape artist, that could make a whole movie.
