Pixar President Reveals Details for FINDING NEMO Sequel!

The Hollywood Reporter shares details on the highly anticipated Finding Nemo sequel, FINDING DORY. According to the report, Pixar president Jim Morris revealed some facts about the film at Comic Con Experience in Brazil over the weekend.

Morris told the crowd that most of the film will take place in the Marine Biology Institute of California, described as "a large rehabilitation facility for marine life." It is here that Dory will discover that she was born there and was freed into the ocean at a young age.

The site further reports, "Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) is inspired to embark on a journey in search of her parents after she joins Nemo on a school trip to watch the migration of manta rays. The film takes place several months after Finding Nemo left off and Dory is living with Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) and Nemo, who join her on her adventure to California. New characters including an octopus, a whale and sea lions will be featured as well."

As BWW previously reported, Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy voicing Dory's parents Jenny and Charlie, and Ty Burrell from "Modern Family" will voice a beluga whale named Bailey.

FINDING DORY is set to arrive in theaters on Nov. 25, 2015. . "Finding Nemo" won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for three additional Oscars (Best Writing, Original Screenplay; Best Music, Original Score; Best Sound Editing).

In 2008, the American Film Institute named "Finding Nemo" among the top 10 greatest animated films ever made.
