Finding Dory is an upcoming 2016 American 3D computer-animated comedy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film is the sequel to the 2003 film Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton, who directed the original film, will return as writer and director,[4][5] alongside Angus MacLane as the co-director.[6] The film is scheduled to be released on VHS on 17th June 2016 and then on DVD on 29th July 2016.[7] It has also been confirmed that characters from the first film will appear in the sequel, including Dory, Nemo, Marlin and the "Tank Gang".[8]

Finding Dory will be focused on the amnesiac character Dory, and will explore the idea of her being reunited with her family.[8] The film will take place six months[9] after the events of Finding Nemo and will be set off the coast of California.[10][11]

Plot

Taking place six months after Finding Nemo,[12] Dory suddenly recalls her childhood memories.[9] Remembering something about "the jewel of Morro Bay, California",[13] accompanied by Nemo and Marlin,[2] she sets out to find her family.[12] She arrives at the Monterey Marine Life Institute, where she meets Bailey, a white beluga whale; Destiny, a whale shark;[14] and Hank, an octopus, who becomes her guide.[9]

Voice cast

Alexander Gould, the voice of Nemo in the first film, will have a cameo in the film.[26]

Production

Prior to work on Finding Dory, Disney planned to make a Finding Nemo sequel without Pixar's involvement through Circle 7 Animation, a studio Disney announced in 2005 with the intention to make sequels to Pixar properties.[27][28] However, in 2006 Circle 7 was shut down by Disney without ever having produced a film.[29]

In July 2012, it was reported that Andrew Stanton was developing a sequel to Finding Nemo,[30] with Victoria Strouse writing the script and a schedule to be released in 2016.[31] However, the same day the news of a potential sequel broke, director Andrew Stanton posted a message on his personal Twitter calling into question the accuracy of these reports. The message said, "Didn't you all learn from Chicken Little? Everyone calm down. Don't believe everything you read. Nothing to see here now. #skyisnotfalling"[32] According to the report by The Hollywood Reporter published in August 2012, Ellen DeGeneres was in negotiations to reprise her role of Dory.[33] In September 2012, it was confirmed by Stanton, saying: "What was immediately on the list was writing a second Carter movie. When that went away, everything slid up. I know I'll be accused by more sarcastic people that it's a reaction to Carter not doing well, but only in its timing, but not in its conceit".[34] In February 2013, it was confirmed by the press that Albert Brooks would reprise the role of Marlin in the sequel.[35]

In April 2013, Disney announced the sequel, Finding Dory, for November 25, 2015, confirming that Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks would be reprising their roles as Dory and Marlin, respectively.[36] Following a long campaign for a sequel on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, DeGeneres stated:

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 4. 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.[36]

In a July 2013 interview with Los Angeles Times, Stanton spoke of the sequel's origin: "There was polite inquiry from Disney [about a Finding Nemo sequel]. I was always 'No sequels, no sequels.' But I had to get on board from a VP standpoint. [Sequels] are part of the necessity of our staying afloat, but we don't want to have to go there for those reasons. We want to go there creatively, so we said [to Disney], 'Can you give us the timeline about when we release them? Because we'd like to release something we actually want to make, and we might not come up with it the year you want it'".[37]

The film's ending was revised after Pixar executives viewed Blackfish, a 2013 documentary film which focuses on dangers of keeping orca whales in captivity. Initially, some of the characters would end up in a SeaWorld-like marine park, but the revision gave them an option to leave.[38][39] On September 18, 2013, it was announced that the film would be pushed back to a June 17, 2016 release. Pixar's The Good Dinosaur was moved to the November 25, 2015 slot to allow more time for production of the film.[40]

In June 2014, it was revealed through Stanton's Twitter feed that the film will be co-directed by Angus MacLane.[41]

In August 2015, at Disney's D23 Expo, it was announced that Hayden Rolence would voice Nemo, replacing Alexander Gould from the first film, whose voice has deepened since reaching adulthood.[12][42] In addition to Rolence, Ed O'Neill was revealed to be the voice of Hank.[12]

Release Dates

Finding Dory is scheduled to be released on VHS on 17th June 2016 and on DVD on 29th July 2016 in Disney Digital 3-D and RealD 3D.[4][5] It will also be released to IMAX theaters.[43] In April 2016, it was announced that a new Pixar short, Piper, directed by Alan Barillaro and with music by Adrian Belew, would be shown in front of the film.[44]
