Ellen DeGeneres has finally unveiled a few details for the upcoming Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory. The Disney/Pixar film, which brings Dory, Marlin, Nemo, and many other favorites from the original film, is set to hit theaters on November 25, 2015, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
According to DeGeneres Finding Dory will take place about a year after the concusion of Nemo. The film will feature a whole lot more Dory, and will take place along the coastline of California where we will meet many of Dory's family and loved ones.
"I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time," DeGeneres said. "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."
Finding Nemo won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for another three awards that night. At the time of its run the film was the highest grossing G-rated film of all time (it currently sits fourth) and was named one of the top 10 greatest animated films of all time by the Amierican Film Institute in 2008.
