FINALLY! The 'Finding Dory' trailer is out…
It's hard to believe it was 13 years ago that the world fell in love with a little clownfish named Nemo.
The hugely-successful 2003 Pixar animated film Finding Nemo grossed just under $US1 billion worldwide and became the best-selling DVD in history.
After a long wait, the trailer for sequel Finding Dory was finally released on YouTube overnight, and it looks like this film will have been worth holding out for.
Ellen DeGeneres – who voices iconic amnesiac fish Dory – exclusively shared the 90-second video on her YouTube channel, and shows all our favourite characters together again.
After helping single dad Marlin locate his abducted son Nemo, Dory will focus on finding her own family in Finding Dory.
Taking place six months after Finding Nemo, Dory suddenly recalls one of her childhood memories and goes on a mission to locate her family, aided by Marlin and Nemo.
The sequel will introduce a range of new characters, including a beluga whale voiced by Modern Family's Ty Burrell and a whale shark named Destiny, who is Dory's adopted sister.
Dory's parents will be voiced by Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy.
The sequel has been in the works for more than a decade, delayed by disagreements between Disney and Pixar over the distribution over Pixar films.
In April 2013, Disney announced sequel Finding Dory, which was described by DeGeneres as long overdue.
“I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time,” DeGeneres said in a release.
“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.”
It’s due for release in cinemas in mid-June.
