OMG BEST NEWS EVER. The greatest (in my opinion) Disney/Pixar movie ever, Finding Nemo, is officially getting a sequel – Finding Dory is happening and in case it wasn’t obvious, I couldn’t be more excited.
Ellen Degeneres (who is the voice of Dory and if you don’t know this, I am very sad for you) announced the exciting news yesterday on her Instagram page and then later on The Ellen Show. As Ellen points out in the video below, it’s about time that a Finding Nemo sequel is happening! Guys, it’s been 10 years since Finding Nemo came out in theaters and that’s a really long time to wait.
Finding Dory will be focused on, you guessed it, Dory! And sure, Nemo is amazing and all that, but we all know that Dory stole the show the first time around, so obviously this is going to be fantastic. The movie will be about Dory searching for her family and loved ones. We’ll see the return of some of our favorite characters like Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang (no word on the turtles and this makes me scared), but we’ll also be introduced to some new characters from Dory’s life.
So how much longer do we have to wait until we can actually watch this movie? Um, kind of a long time. The director (who also directed Finding Nemo), Andrew Stanton, says that Finding Dory will be released November 25, 2015. I don’t know how I’m going to wait almost two years, but okay. He talked about the movie a little bit, saying, “One thing we couldn’t stop thinking about was why she [Dory] 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.”
I think Ellen may be even more excited than anyone else. She says, “I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. 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.”
Check out what else Ellen had to say in this video, because it’s funny:

I LOVE how Ellen is so PROUD of Finding Nemo. To me, she is an A list celebrity because she has been around for YEARS and lets face it, she’s one of the best talk show hosts. At least that I’ve seen. Most celebritys don’t stay as enthusiastic about the same movie for that amount of time and the fact that its a kids movie makes it that much greater. I’m so stoked! Finding Nemo is deffinately in my top 5 of favorite movies.
I must say, I’ve never liked the movie but I am curious to see the sequel and feed my Ellen Degeneres addiction. Why theyre announcing this 2 years and 7 months prior is troubling me.
Eeeeeek! Finally! I have waited for this ever since I watched Dory sing ‘just keep swimming’. I am basically a Disney/Pixar Nerd, and even though it’s really sad, I actually do have countdown on my phone for the day this comes out – it’s the 25th November 2015 – for those who don’t know. SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED! THANK YOU PIXAR!
