Finding Dory (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2016 Disney/Pixar film of the same name. The original score is composed by Thomas Newman. The album was released by Walt Disney Records on June 17, 2016, the same day as the film's theatrical release.

Background

In June 2014, Thomas Newman was hired to compose the soundtrack to Pixar's/Andrew Stanton's Finding Dory (2016), after previously scoring Finding Nemo (2003) and WALL-E (2008), both directed by Stanton. Louis Armstrong's version of "What a Wonderful World" is played during the scene in which fish are released into the ocean as the truck Dory and Hank are driving crashes into the water. On May 20, 2016, Sia performed a cover of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show following an announcement that it would be featured in the film.

Release and reception

The soundtrack album was released by Walt Disney Records on June 17, 2016, the same day as the film's theatrical release. El-ahrairah of Modern Topics gave a negative review of the film's score, writing "the music was entirely forgettable, relying too much on well-known classics like the ironic use of Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" and Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World". There were no original break-out hits in this film, which makes me long for the days of classic Disney animations with their associable tunes. Even the otherwise unmemorable The Road to El Dorado (2000) featured an Elton John tune that made the entire soundtrack album worth a purchase". In August 2016, Newman's work on the soundtrack was nominated at the World Soundtrack Awards for "Soundtrack Composer of the Year". In November 2016, the film's score was nominated at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards for "Best Original Score in an Animated Film".
