Finding Dory: Plot secrets revealed

THE sequel to the hit 2003 film, Finding Nemo, will be released in 2016. But guess what, the majority of Finding Dory doesn’t take place in the ocean.

PIXAR President Jim Morris recently spoke at the Comic-Con Experience in Brazil, revealing more details and the primary setting for the upcoming Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory.

Set several months after its predecessor, Marlin, Nemo and Dory all live together on the same reef.

Dory accompanies Nemo on a school field trip, when memories of her past and family are triggered.

Travelling to California to find Dory’s parents, Morris explained that the majority of the film will take place at the Marine Biology Institute of California, which is apparently where Dory was born and raised before she was released into the wild at a young age.

Finding Dory takes place a year after Finding Nemo.

Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks will return to voice Dory and Marlin, respectively. Dory’s father, Charlie, will be voiced by Eugene Levy and Dory’s mother, Jenny, will be voiced by Diane Keaton. A Beluga whale named Bailey will be voiced by Ty Burrell. Some sea lions and an octopus are confirmed among other new characters to appear in the film.

Setting the film at the Marine Biology Institute of California gives fuel to the rumours that the ending of the film will reflect a more “environmentally friendly” attitude attributed to the documentary Blackfish.

Ellen, Diane Keaton and Ty Burrell will all voice characters in Finding Dory.

As a Pixar employee told the New York Times back in August of 2013, the fish and mammals that occupy a “marine park” in the movie will “have the option to leave” after being taken there.

Finding Dory is scheduled to hit theatres in 2016.
