The Finding Nemo Sequel Has a Title and a Release Date
------------------------------------------------------
Over the summer of 2003, Finding Nemo, the fifth movie from the
then-young Pixar Animation Studios became their highest-grossing
hit with nearly $340 million earned domestically and in the past
few years, there's been more and more talk about Disney-Pixar
making a sequel that would bring back the fish Marlin and Dory,
voiced by Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres.

Disney-Pixar has now made it official, announcing the release
date and title for the sequel, which will once again be directed
by Andrew Stanton. The announcement was made with posts on the
movie's Facebook page and the Instagram page for 'The Ellen
DeGeneres Show'.

And it's official that 'Finding Dory' will be released over
Thanksgiving weekend on November 25, 2015!

Here is the official press release from Disney-Pixar with a
quote from DeGeneres:


When Dory said "just keep swimming" in 2003's Oscar-winning
film 'Finding Nemo', she could not have imagined what was in
store for her (not that she could remember). Ellen DeGeneres,
voice of the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, revealed
details today about Disney-Pixar's 'Finding Dory' - an all-new
big-screen adventure diving into theaters on Nov. 25, 2015.

"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."

Director and Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton takes audiences back
to the extraordinary underwater world created in the original
film. "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."

According to Stanton, 'Finding Dory' takes place about a year
after the first film, and features returning favorites Marlin,
Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others. Set in part along the
California coastline, the story also welcomes a host of new
characters, including a few who will prove to be a very
important part of Dory's life.

'Finding Nemo' won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated
Feature; the film was nominated for three additional Oscars
(Best Writing, Original Screenplay; Best Music, Original Score;
Best Sound Editing). It was also nominated for a Golden Globe
Award for Best Motion Picture�Comedy or Musical. In 2008, the
American Film Institute named 'Finding Nemo' among the top 10
greatest animated films ever made. At the time of its release,
'Finding Nemo' was the highest grossing G-rated movie of all
time. It's currently the fourth highest grossing animated film
worldwide. The film has more than 16 million Likes on Facebook,
and Dory � with more than 24 million � is the most Liked
individual character from a Disney or Disney-Pixar film.

DeGeneres' distinctive comic voice has resonated with audiences
from her first stand-up comedy appearances through her work
today on television, in film and in the literary world. Her
syndicated talk show, 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', is in its
10th season and has earned 38 Daytime Emmy Awards. DeGeneres
has won 12 People's Choice Awards and the Teen Choice Award for
Choice Comedian for three consecutive years. Additionally, her
show won two Genesis Awards and a GLAAD Media Award for
Outstanding Talk Show Episode. For her unforgettable turn as
Dory, DeGeneres was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best
Comedic Performance.
