Nearly 15 years after Finding Nemo, Pixar's finally releasing a sequel to the beloved film set in the sea, revolving around everyone's favorite forgetful fish. Finding Dory will hit theaters this summer, and a new teaser has reached TV -- and in it, every fish in the ocean is just as excited as us humans to have Ellen DeGeneres' voice back on Pixar!
Disney-Pixar released the new teaser last Thursday on their YouTube channel, and it's as sweet as one would expect from everyone's favorite blue tang fish. In it, every single fish in the ocean seems excited over her big return to the big screen, and that includes her old pal Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (voiced by Alexander Gould in the 2003 original and Hayden Rolence in the upcoming sequel).
The first 30 minutes of Finding Dory have already been shown to certain members of the press, and so far the response has been more than favorable. IGN recently called the film "adorable" and teased that the film's first five minutes will be very emotional, not unlike its predecessor.
Of course, the beginning of Finding Nemo is downright heartbreaking: Marlin and Coral (Elizabeth Perkins) are waiting for their clutch of eggs to be born when a barracuda shows up, killing the mom and all the clown fish-to-be but one, which just ends up being Nemo. If Finding Dory begins half as intensely as that film, audiences are in for a tearjerker.
Finding Dory boasts a very impressive cast, including Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy as Dory's parents, plus the likes of Modern Family actors Ty Burell and Ed O'Neill, as well as The Wire alums Dominic West and Idris Elba.
"Finding Dory reunites everyone's favorite forgetful blue tang, Dory, with her friends Nemo and Marlin on a search for answers about her past," reads the film's synopsis. "What can she remember? Who are her parents? And where did she learn to speak Whale?"
Finding Dory will swim into theaters on June 17.
