FINDING NEMO fans – rejoice! Ellen DeGeneres, the voice of the little blue tang fish Dory, today revealed that FINDING DORY is to hit US cinemas in 2015.
The comedic actress, TV presenter and all-round lovely lady said:
“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.”
NEMO director and Disney veteran Andrew Stanton has confirmed that the sequel will take audiences back to the deep blue where the story started. He also confirmed that we’ll be seeing a lot more Ellen…uh, I mean Dory:
“There is no Dory without Ellen. 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.”
Set a year after the first film, Dory will reunite with Marlin, Nemo and the whole Tank Crew. I can’t wait!
FINDING DORY is scheduled to arrive in US cinemas from 25th November 2015. Unfortunately for me (and any other Nemo/Dory lovers) there is currently no official UK release date. Boo!
