Finding Nemo is one of my favourite Disney Pixar films of all times. I bought the DVD for myself well before having a child. When sequel Finding Dory was announced I was a bit skeptical about its potential as it is quite common for second movies to be less popular. But the amazing team at Pixar has taken their time, over a decade to be precise, to come up with Finding Dory and the result is clearly brilliant. Rather than calling it a sequel I prefer calling is a series based on the same characters. In this film the focus shifts from Nemo and Marlin to Dory and we get to know this colourful and forgetful tropical fish including her quirky past. Finding Dory which will swim into UK cinemas on 29 July 2016.

Believe it or not, it’s 24 years since the sound of This Wheel’s On Fire heralded the arrival of one of the most popular comedy series of the 90s – and easily the most outrageous. Absolutely Fabulous was a wicked send-up of the excesses of the PR industry at the time and the TV viewing public lapped it up. The series returned in the early 2000s, followed by several specials, the most recent coinciding with the 2012 Olympics. It’s been a long time coming, but at last it’s arrived on the big screen this week, certificate 15.
Glass of Bolly in hand, London Mums’ resident film critic, Freda Cooper, set out to discover if it really is absolutely fabulous.
