We’ve known since the middle of last year that Andrew Stanton and Team Pixar were planning to make a Finding Nemo sequel. Today, Disney and Pixar have announced the title, Finding Dory, and the fact that it’ll swim into US cinemas on November 25, 2015.
As
the title might suggest, the new film will focus a little more on the
forgetful blue tang and introduce her family. According to Stanton, Finding Dory
takes place about a year after the first film, and features returning
favourites 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.
“I have waited for this day for a long, long,
long, long, long, long time,” says Ellen 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.”
“There
is no Dory without Ellen,” says 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.”
Albert Brooks is locked in to play Marlin
once again, and given the synopsis, we’d expect an announcement about
other casting details soon. While this won’t do much to quell worries
about Team Pixar pumping out sequels, it’s worth noting that A) the
majority of their follow-ups to date have been great and B) the
filmmakers have three original movies on the way versus the two sequels (Monsters University and Finding Dory) planned. There’s no official word on when Finding Dory will arrive on UK screens; hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.
