Finding Dory Story Featurette Released

The first featurette for Finding Dory, the next film from Disney/Pixar, was released online Wednesday. The clip, introduced and narrated by Ellen DeGeneres (who of course voices the titular character) talks about the story of the film.

She recaps the characters involved, including new and returning characters.

"Dory's on a mission to find her family," she explains.

With help from Nemo and Marlin (Albert Brooks), Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) the forgetful fish embarks on a quest to reunite with her mother (Diane Keaton) and father (Eugene Levy).

Finding Dory is Pixar's 17th film, and appropriately comes out June 17, 2016. It follows a rare relative miss for the animation powerhouse, as The Good Dinosaur made the least money of any film in the company's history. Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane direct a script by Stanton and Victoria Strouse. Joining DeGeneres, Brooks, Levy, and Keaton are Hayden Rolence as the new voice of Nemo, plus Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, Kaitlin Olson, and Michael Sheen.

Disney as a whole is on an absolute role in 2016, with hit after hit; Zootopia, The Jungle Book, and Captain America: Civil War have all been tops at the box office for their respective stays, with Civil War recently dethroning Zootopia as the top-grossing film worldwide of the year so far. Later in the year, they have Alice Through The Looking Glass, Doctor Strange, Moana, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story from their other studios.
