This is not an April Fool's joke! Pixar has officially announced that fans will indeed be getting a sequel to the hit animated film Finding Nemo! The movie is titled Finding Dory and will be released November 25th, 2015. Ellen Degeneres will be reprising her role as Dory, the loveable and forgetful fish. Ellen herself made the announcement on her show as well.
I wonder where Dory will end up? Will she need the tank gang to rescue her? Are you excited for the new installment??

Via Inside The Magic:
“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.”
“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.
