Ellen DeGeneres will be reprising her role as the blue tang fish, Dory, in a newly announced film entitled, “Finding Dory.” This all-new movie will splash onto theater screens on November 25, 2015, nationwide.
Dory is one of the most beloved members of the “Finding Nemo” cast so I’m looking forward to seeing the new film. And I’m not the only one. It turns out DeGeneres has been waiting for Dory’s day as well.
“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.”
Movies: FINDING DORY – Release Date 11/25/15
This new film will be directed by Pixar veteran, Andrew Stanton. He’ll take us back to the sea off the California coast for a familiar look and nostalgic feel of the first film and he’s thrilled to be reconnecting with DeGeneres. “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.”
Stanton revealed that the storyline in “Finding Dory” takes place approximately one year after the first film ended. All of our favorite fishy characters will be returning – Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others; but there will be a host of new characters as well.
Will “Finding Dory” live up to “Finding Nemo’s” success? It’s hard to tell, but it’s got some work to do. “Finding Nemo” won the 2003 Academy Award® for Best Animated Featurs plus it was nominated for three additional Oscars® (Best Writing, Original Screenplay; Best Music, Original Score; Best Sound Editing). Additionally, it was nominated for a Golden Globe® Award for Best Motion Picture–Comedy or Musical.
When it was released, “Finding Nemo” was the highest grossing G-rated movie of all time and it’s currently the fourth highest grossing animated film worldwide. But with Dory being the most “liked” Disney•Pixar character on Facebook with more than 24 million Facebook likes, it’s pretty safe to say she just might beat her good friend Nemo.

Well it is going to be a long wait, but if Ellen says it will be worth it then I guess it will. We simply love these movies from Pixar! I had no idea there was going to be this sequel. Wait until I tell my son. On second thought, I better wait another year or so!
Depending on his age….for sure! 🙂 I can’t wait to see these one and PLANES.
It’s wonderful that this movie is being made. I can’t wait.

I can’t even tell you how excited I am for this!!!!
Excited to see this film! I just wonder, would it be Nemo who’ll search for Dory? Well, we will find out in 2015.
Ive been waiting for them to make a sequel to Finding Nemo .Its About Time even though the release day is like 2 1/2 years away it will so be worth it.Plus i love Ellen Cant Wait!
YAY! I cannot wait for this movie.
I’m excited to see this! Finding Nemo is a great movie and Ellen DeGeneres is so funny.
I am getting a little sick of what disney is doing to pixar. They are some of the most creative film makers and making them churn out sequels where one is not needed is just so depressing.
I’m so glad to see that this is going to be coming out. My son is going to LOVE it!
I love Finding Nemo and own that movie, and now I see that a new movie is coming out called Finding Dora! I can not wait to see this cute animated movie. I am a grown-up, but love animated movies a lot!
Why do they tease us two years ahead? I don’t know what I’ll like next month,let alone in 2 years.
I know, right! I told the rep I hope to be ALIVE when it comes out 🙂
We were talking about this at work today and it should be a great movie also. Ellen DeGeneres is fantastic!
i’m am all kinds of excited about this movie. i just love Ellen. and i liked Finding Nemo. and i like that my kiddo is still young enough that i don’t have to feel dumb for being all excited about going to see a kids’ movie!! 🙂
I was hoping they would do some kind of sequel. I love this movie and watch it all the time.
I am so excited that this announcement was made! I’m sure that it’ll be very funny! 2015 is so far away though!
I had heard of the title but no idea what it was about. Thank you for clue-ing me in 🙂 I am sure my daughter will want to see it
