-Uh... Dory.

-Yeah.

Mr. Ray has too many fish

to keep an eye on today.

Uh-huh.

So it would be best if today

you weren't exactly with the class.

Oh. Why not?

Well, you know, you have problems

remembering things sometimes.

That's the one thing I can remember.

Yes.

Okay. And sometimes it's not your fault,

but it can cause you to wander.

And Mr. Ray doesn't really have time

to worry about fish who wander.

In other words,

he doesn't have enough help.

Poor guy.

You know, he's so overworked.

-You understand.

-I totally understand now.

-Okay.

-Mm-hmm.

He wants me

to be the teacher's assistant.

Uh... No, not exactly.

I am so honored. I have never been

a teaching assistant before.

Mr. Ray! You got help.

(LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)

Oh. Okey dokey.

(STUDENTS LAUGHING)

-All right, kids.

-All right, kids.

-Today's the day!

-Today's the day!

Our field trip to the sting ray migration.

Sting ray migration.

Now, does anyone know

why we migrate?

(COUGHS)

Come on. You gotta know this stuff.

Migration is about going back to...

-Bed!

-Yes!

-No.

-No.

-The sand!

-No! Migration is about going home.

-Home.

-Which is where you're from.

Where you're from.

Can someone tell me

where they're from?

-I live by a giant rock!

-I live 3 coral caves away from here!

My house is covered in algae!

Where'd you grow up, Dory?

Me? Um, I don't know.

My family. Where are they?

-Can I help you?

-(STUDENTS LAUGHING)

I'm sorry. Did I forget again?

You see, I suffer from--

STUDENTS:
Short-term memory loss.

How can you remember your family

if you have short-term memory loss?

Good question. See, I can remember

some things because, well...

They make sense.

Like, um, I have a family.

I know because I've-- I must've

come from somewhere. Right?

Everyone has a family.

I may not remember their names

and what they look like.

And I may not even be able to

ever find them again, but um...

-What were we talkin' about?

-Mommies and daddies.

Mommies and daddies. Right.

Why are we talkin' about

mommies and daddies? Oh. Oh!

That class. Uh-oh. Why me? Okay?

You guys seem a little young,

but, um, okay.

You see, kids,

when two fish love each other--

And we'll stop right there.

Climb aboard, explorers!

I feel a migration song comin' on!

Oh...

♪ Migration, migration

Let's learn about migration

♪ It's nature's inspiration

To move around the sea ♪

♪ Here's a scientific promise

That a fish who's Oceanodromous

Where did everybody go? I'm by myself

Oh, there they are. I'm back ♪

♪ Plus or minus, 4 degrees

Based on solar positioning
