It’s Official – ‘Finding Nemo’ Sequel Set for Production

It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed since the release of the hugely popular film, 'Finding Nemo'.  Usually, when films are that popular, a sequel can't be far behind.  In this case, it took a little longer than usual. 

The folks at Disney Pixar have confirmed that they will be releasing 'Finding Dory' in November 2015.  Ellen DeGeneres is coming back to voice the main character of the forgetful blue tang fish. Plus, many of the mainstays from the original movie are coming back, like Nemo, Marlin, and some of the fish tank gang.  Get more details about the plot here. 

DeGeneres released the following statement about the good news:

“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.”

That makes two films I'm already chomping at the bit to see.  'Despicable Me 2' is out later this year.
