Back in 2003, Pixar released Finding Nemo, a film about the distressed clownfish Marlin attempting to find his son Nemo after he’s captured and taken to a dentist office aquarium. However, if you were like me, you might have been a little more focused on Dory and her antics as she attempted to not only help Marlin find Nemo, but also work through her own short term memory loss. The two narratives intertwined to create one of the most grossing and heartwarming films about a fish to date.
Well fellow Dory fans, this time it’s Dory’s turn to be fully in the spotlight. Earlier this week, Disney finally released the trailer for the long-anticipated Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory!
The story takes place after the events of Finding Nemo, as Dory accompanies Mr. Ray and the kids on a school trip she remembers she has a family that once loved her. The trailer then proceeds to show how Marlin, Nemo, and Dory set off to help Dory get back home- but not before introducing some new friends of Dory’s at an aquarium: an adorable whale shark that remembers Dory fondly and a stealthy Octopus whom should probably not go into the garbage disposal.
If you’re ready for another ocean-riffic, emotion-filled adventure and a bit of a trip down memory lane, you can watch the trailer here down below from Ellen’s youtube channel:
