Finding Nemo Sequel Titled Finding Dory, Coming November 2015

There waas a joke floating around the Internet for a while that if there were a second Finding Nemo movie, it might be more an indictment of Marlon's parenting skills than anything else (not unlike the Home Alone franchise)--but Andrew Stanton and company seem to have found a way around all that. The second film in the franchise will be titled Finding Dory, and will apparently center around a quest to find Dory, the brain-addled fish portrayed by comedian Ellen DeGeneres in the first film. The movie is set 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. "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."
