Published November 14, 2026

"Hi, I'm Dory. Let's Go!" refers to a TikTok sound and dance built around Baby Dory from Pixar's Finding Dory, with origins as a Roblox Brookhaven greeting gag in early 2021. By June 2022, the trend spiked when TikTok clips of a young blonde boy acting out the dance in real life reached tens of millions of plays.

Overview

Hi, I'm Dory. Let's Go! clips typically show a Roblox character inside Brookhaven walking up to a stranger, saying "Hi I'm Dori," then launching into a dance emote synced to audio from Finding Dory1. Creators lip dub the line, let the piano loop play, and perform the shuffle on the beat drop. TikTokers swapped the Roblox avatar for VRChat models4, Snapchat screen recordings3 and in-person renditions, keeping the pacing but changing the stage.

Most posts run under 15 seconds and end on the beat drop where the dance peaks. The underlying track is a 2016 piano cover of "Sunset Lover" by Petit Biscuit, performed by YouTuber Foux10. Baby Dory dialogue plays over that piano melody, and the pairing carries the trend whether the visual is a Roblox avatar, a VRChat Obama4 or a real kid at a waterpark2.
