It’s no April Fool’s joke – The sequel to Disney – Pixar’s “Finding Nemo” has been announced. Entitled “Finding Dory,” the sequel will be released on Nov. 25, 2015. The new adventure takes place about a year after the first film and features returning favorites Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others. Set in part along the California coastline, the story also welcomes a host of new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory’s life.

Ellen DeGeneres, voice of the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, revealed details today about Pixar’s “Finding Dory.”

“I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” said DeGeneres. “I’m not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16.’ But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It’s got a lot of heart, it’s really funny, and the best part is—it’s got a lot more Dory.”

Watch Ellen’s announcement on her talk show below:

Director and Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton takes audiences back to the underwater world created in the original film. “There is no Dory without Ellen,” said Stanton. “She won the hearts of moviegoers all over the world—not to mention our team here at Pixar. One thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was why she was all alone in the ocean on the day she met Marlin. In ‘Finding Dory,’ she will be reunited with her loved ones, learning a few things about the meaning of family along the way.”

“Finding Nemo” won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature; the film was nominated for three additional Oscars (Best Writing, Original Screenplay; Best Music, Original Score; Best Sound Editing). It was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture- Comedy or Musical. In 2008, the American Film Institute named “Finding Nemo” among the top 10 greatest animated films ever made. At the time of its release, “Finding Nemo” was the highest grossing G-rated movie of all time. It’s currently the fourth highest grossing animated film worldwide.

While “Finding Dory” doesn’t come to theaters until 2015, Pixar is releasing many films in the upcoming years including “Monsters University” on June 21, 2013; “The Good Dinosaur” on May 30, 2014 and a movie known as “The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside The Mind” on June 19, 2015.

  1. Yes the first one was good, but I’m reserved on this sequel because, to me, Nemo didn’t need a sequel. Now The Incredibles does deserve one last hurrah!

  2. I’m not sure about this either. My kids like watching Nemo, but not as much as some of the other Disney movies we have. I am surprised that there was’t an Incredibles sequel, it seems prefect for it. But either way I’m sure I’ll be in the theater watching it.
