Whale!

If you need a laugh, click on the video - it's under a minute. And it's Dory - speaking whale!



I could have posted the 'Just keep swimming' link instead, but this one cracks me up. Anyway, it's NaNo and I haven't been able to visit the bloggy-verse as much as I'd like. It's also been report card season -- which isn't nearly as much fun.

Don't you think the writers for these animated movies are brilliant? I do - the humour is priceless. And then the actors bring it to life. Hopefully our characters do the same for our dialogue.

Anyway, I felt like it was a good time for a smile and Dory/Ellen is always a great choice for that!

Which animated movie/character cracks you up or makes you smile?

Love that movie! LOVE!! :)

Jemi Fraser said...

DL - me too! Ellen really rocks the Dory scenes!! :)

Stacy McKitrick said...

I think watching Ellen doing that scene is even funnier (extras on the DVD). It is one of my favorite movies, too. Cracks me up every time!

Jemi Fraser said...

Stacy - I haven't seen that! I'll definitely have to check it out - thanks for the tip! :)

Any of the slug scenes from "Flushed Away." "Poor, poor Roddy, flushed down his own potty..."

Crazy Life of a Writing Mom said...

This is so fun. I still love the Genie from Aladdin :)

Jemi Fraser said...

Alex - awesome! Poor, poor Roddy :)

Elisabeth - Robin Williams really rocks the Genie! He's so quick! Great choice :)

Hi Jemi,
Fy mod yn siarad Cymraeg, fel yng Nghymru, y Gymraeg :)

Translation, before you ask,

Hi Jemi,
I speak Welsh, as in Wales, Welsh.

Jemi Fraser said...

Gary - I had to look twice at that sentence before I moved on. Then I was glad I'd put down the tea! I wonder how Dory would do with that kind of Wale talk :)

VR Barkowski said...

Love this! What a great movie - awfully hard to beat. Maybe Toy Story? Rex is awfully cute.

Thanks for the smile! :)

Jemi Fraser said...

VR - you're very welcome! We can all use an extra smile throughout the day!

And I LOVE Toy Story too. So hard to choose a favourite! Mr Potato Head is pretty cool too :)

Unknown said...

Classic! Animation is just so clever these days. Mind boggling!

Jema said...

Dory is SO funny, yet such simple humor. I would have to go with Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb as he tries to take over the tri-state area!

Stephanie Thornton said...

My favorite Pixar movies are the Toy Story series--I love Tom Hanks as Woody.

Anonymous said...

Lol.

The Bugs Bunny characters always crack me up, although that's TV and not movie.

Amie Kaufman said...

Oh man, I have to watch that movie again. For me it's the tiny things--the way her eye twitches at 'come baaack'! I think the writing is incredible--they do so much with so little.

Old Kitty said...

Dory is my absolute favourite character in Finding Nemo!! Take care

Jemi Fraser said...

Wendy - it really is! I'm always amazed at what they can do :)

JeMa - I love Dory. I've never seen Phineas & Ferb - but I'll trust you on that one! :)

Stephanie - I adore Toy Story. Hanks brings such a sweetness & innocence to the role!

Medeia - Bugs Bunny is a classic! He never fails to make me laugh too :)

Amie - they really are amazing! Those little details are what make Disney & Pixar movies so special!

Old Kitty - I love Dory & the whole Nemo movie - so much fun!

Elizabeth Spann Craig said...

I love Dory! Great clip...thanks for the smiles this morning!

Julie Dao said...

I LOVE that movie! Anything by Pixar. I love the scene in Monsters Inc. where Sully thinks Boo has gone through the garbage disposal.

Rosalind Adam said...

Any time is a good time for a smile and that made me smile :-)

Shannon O'Donnell said...

Dory is one of my all-time favorite animated characters--LOVE her!!! :-)

LTM said...

Yes! They are. And "just keep swimming" became my motto about this time last year. Love Dory~ :o) <3

Jemi Fraser said...

Elizabeth - you're very welcome. Dory is one of the best smile inducers I know! :)

Julie - that is an awesome scene!! I love Sully too :)

Rosalind - so very, very true. We can always use a smile ... or 2!

Shannon - that's exactly how I feel! She's such a fabulous character!

Leigh - Just Keep Swimming is one heck of a good motto! I use it a lot too :)

Beth Zimmerman said...

I LOVE that scene! And Ellen was perfect for that part!

Jemi Fraser said...

Beth - Ellen is brilliant! I love the entire movie, but Dory is so fabulous! :)

Talli Roland said...

Hope NaNO is going well! And yes, sometimes those animation films are the funniest!

LD Masterson said...

I loved that movie but Ellen was the best part.

Jemi Fraser said...

Michell - you're welcome! Dory is ALWAYS good for a smile :)

Talli - I do love the animated films too - so many great ones!

Linda - totally agree. Ellen is such a 'real' person - and hilarious into the bargain.

Jemi Fraser said...

Thanks for the laugh this morning. That was cute. I'm way behind on my blog reading due to participating in NaNoWriMo and life in general. Behind on my word count, but will write again later so I can again change my word count on my blog.

Jemi Fraser said...

Susanne - I know EXACTLY how you feel! NaNo is so much fun - but everything else falls by the wayside! :)
