13 Jun – Who says "Finding Dory" is just for children? The first pre-screening of the animated movie in Cambodia, held at Major Cineplex by Cellcard yesterday, proved that it is a fun movie for people of all ages.

The family-friendly pre-screening saw the attendance of excited kids – invited from different schools in the city to be the first to see the Disney/Pixar's animated movie – accompanied by their guardians and parents, who were just as eager to watch the movie. 

Before the screening started, the crowd had the chance to take photos with the under the sea-themed standees. 

"Finding Dory" original premium items such as cap and stickers were also given away during the event. 

When the fans were interviewed prior to the screening, one of the older fans revealed, "I've been waiting for this movie to come out for years, I was a fan of Nemo since I was a child, now that there's a sequel, there's no way I could sit patiently." 

Looks like "Finding Dory" too successfully found its own sea of fans after the screening. One 12-year-old fan said, "The movie is really good, I really like it. I love Dory and how she never gives up on finding her parents even in any circumstances." 

Another fan, Somey, a graduate student from PUC, said, "I love Ellen DeGeneres. She's my favorite TV presenter. And, she's totally into Dory's character. "Finding Dory" is a must-watch." 

The upcoming movie is the sequel to "Finding Nemo", released 13 years after the original 2003 movie which was also one of the more well-known movies in Cambodia. 

"Finding Dory" swims into cinemas this 16 June.
