It was also announced that the rest of the "[[Tank Gang]]" would return, as well as many of the other original characters from ''Finding Nemo'', in addition to several new ones that have yet to be announced.<ref>[http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/dory-keeps-swimming-finding-nemo-sequel-170302573.html Move Over, Nemo: Disney Announces Ellen-Powered ‘Finding Dory’ Sequel]</ref> However, no other casting information was revealed.<ref name="Dory" /> It is unknown if [[Jacques]] will reappear for the sequel because his voice actor [[Joe Ranft]] died in [[2005]] during production of ''[[Cars]]''. However, it's likely that he could now be voiced by [[Jerome Ranft]] (Joe's surviving brother), similar to [[Red (Cars)|Red]]'s case in the ''Cars'' film series. [[Alexander Gould]] will not be voicing Nemo as he has long hit puberty since the release of the first film.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/21950542 Finding Nemo star loses his character's voice]</ref><ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/finding-nemo-sequel-finding-dory-to-star-ellen-degeneres-for-2015-release-8557914.html 'Finding Nemo' sequel 'Finding Dory' to star Ellen DeGeneres for 2015 release]</ref> He will instead be voiced by [[Hayden Rolence]].

==Synopsis==
−
From the official Disney press release:
−
{{Quote|BURBANK, Calif. (April 2, [[2013]]) – 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 November 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.”<ref name=THRDory2015/>

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.

In [[2005]], after disagreements between Disney's Michael Eisner and Pixar's [[Steve Jobs]] over the distribution of Pixar's films, Disney announced that they would be creating a new animation studio, [[Circle 7 Animation]], to make sequels to the seven Disney-owned Pixar films (which consisted of the films released between [[1995]] and [[2006]]).<ref>[http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2005/08/08/655.aspx The Skinny on Circle Seven]</ref> The studio had put ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' and ''[[Monsters University|Monsters, Inc. 2]]'' in development, and had also hired screenwriter Laurie Craig to write a draft for ''Finding Nemo 2''.<ref>[http://animatedviews.com/2012/bob-hilgenberg-and-rob-muir-on-the-rise-and-fall-of-disneys-circle-7-animation/ Bob Hilgenberg and Rob Muir on the Rise and Fall of Disney’s Circle 7 Animation]</ref> Circle 7 had since been shut down after Robert Iger replaced Eisner as CEO of Disney and arranged the acquisition of Pixar.

In July [[2012]], it was reported that Andrew Stanton was developing a sequel to ''Finding Nemo'',<ref>[http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/john-carter-helmer-andrew-stanton-dives-back-into-animation-with-finding-nemo-sequel/ 'John Carter' Helmer Andrew Stanton Dives Back Into Animation With 'Finding Nemo' Sequel]</ref> with [[Victoria Strouse]] writing the script and a schedule to be released in [[2016]]. <ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/andrew-stanton-pixar-finding-nemo-sequel-350267 Andrew Stanton to Direct Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' Sequel]</ref> However, the same day the news of a potential sequel broke, director Andrew Stanton posted a message on his personal Twitter calling into question the accuracy of these reports. The message said: "Didn't you all learn from ''Chicken Little''? Everyone calm down. Don't believe everything you read. Nothing to see here now. #skyisnotfalling"<ref>[https://twitter.com/andrewstanton/status/225380771039420416 @andrewstanton]</ref> According to the report by Hollywood Reporter published in August 2012, Ellen DeGeneres was in negotiations to reprise her role of Dory.<ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ellen-degeneres-finding-nemo-sequal-pixar-364553 Ellen DeGeneres in Talks to Return for 'Finding Nemo' Sequel (Exclusive)]</ref> In September, it was confirmed by Stanton saying: "What was immediately on the list was writing a second ''Carter'' movie. When that went away, everything slid up. I know I'll be accused by more sarcastic people that it's a reaction to ''Carter'' not doing well, but only in its timing, but not in its conceit."<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-john-carter-director-20120908,0,4090564,full.story Director Andrew Stanton looks back on 'John Carter's' rocky path]</ref> In February [[2013]], it was confirmed by the press that [[Albert Brooks]] would reprise the role of Marlin in the sequel.<ref>[http://www.deadline.com/2013/02/albert-brooks-hooks-deal-to-reprise-in-finding-nemo-2/ Albert Brooks Hooks Deal To Reprise In 'Finding Nemo 2']</ref>

In April 2013, Disney announced the sequel ''Finding Dory'' for November 25, [[2015]], confirming that Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks would be reprising their roles as Dory and Marlin, respectively.<ref>[http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/04/02/ellen-degeneres-to-star-in-nemo-sequel-finding-dory/ Ellen DeGeneres to Star in 'Nemo' Sequel 'Finding Dory']</ref><ref name=THRDory2015/>

In a ''Los Angeles Times'' interview, Stanton talked about the sequel's origin: "There was polite inquiry from Disney (about a ''Finding Nemo'' sequel). I was always 'No sequels, no sequels.' But I had to get on board from a VP standpoint. (Sequels) are part of the necessity of our staying afloat, but we don't want to have to go there for those reasons. We want to go there creatively, so we said (to Disney), 'Can you give us the timeline about when we release them? Because we'd like to release something we actually want to make, and we might not come up with it the year you want it.'"<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-ca-despicable-me-2-sequels-20130707,0,6099932,full.story With 'Despicable Me 2' and more, movies revisit the sequel debate]</ref>

The film's ending was revised after Pixar executives viewed ''[[wikipedia:Blackfish (film)|Blackfish]]'', a documentary film which focuses on dangers of keeping orca whales in captivity. Initially, some of the characters would end in a SeaWorld-like marine park, but the revision gave them an option to leave.<ref>[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-blackfish-seaworld-finding-dory-pixar-20130808,0,7662071.story 'Blackfish' gives Pixar second thoughts on 'Finding Dory' plot]</ref><ref>[http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/09/finding-nemo-sequel-is-altered-in-response-to-orcas-documentary/?_r=1 'Finding Nemo' Sequel Is Altered in Response to Orcas Documentary]</ref> On September 18, 2013, it was announced that the film would be pushed back to a June 17, 2016 release. Pixar's ''[[The Good Dinosaur]]'' was moved to the November 25, 2015 slot in order to allow more time for production of the film.<ref name="Slashfilm">[http://www.slashfilm.com/pixar-skips-2014-as-the-good-dinosaur-shifts-to-2015-and-finding-dory-to-2016/ Pixar Skips 2014 as 'The Good Dinosaur' Shifts to 2015 and ‘Finding Dory’ to 2016]</ref><ref name="ComingSoon">[http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=109129 Disney Announces New Dates for Maleficent, The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory]</ref>
