Pixar Reveals 'Finding Dory' Cast: Octopus, Beluga, Shark & Sea Lions Join Ellen DeGeneres!
Thirteen years after Finding Nemo swam its way into hearts of kids and adults, a sequel is set to surface this summer. Ahead of Finding Dory's release, Pixar is sharing some information about the new cast of sea creatures joining Ellen DeGeneres -- including an octopus, a shark, a beluga whale and a couple of sea lions!
Through USA Today, Pixar released a few photos and some background about each character joining DeGeneres' Dory.
Dominic West ,and Idris Elba., who both starred in the gritty HBO series The Wire, will reunite in the ocean. West will play Rudder and Elba will be Fluke.
In another mini-reunion, Ed O'Neill and Ty Burrell from Modern Family are also in Finding Dory. Burrell is the voice of beluga whale Bailey, and O'Neill will play "septopus" Hank, an octopus who lost a tentacle -- and his sense of humor.
IGN talks about each character, including whale shark Destiny (Kaitlin Olson), a sweet, big and clumsy fish who's ashamed of not being very graceful and befriends Dory when she visits the Marine Life Institute.
There's also Becky, a loon voiced by Torbin Bullock. We'll also meet Dory's parents, Jenny and Charlie (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy), who want to make up for lost time with their daughter.
Finding Dory hits theaters June 17.
