Jim Morris has revealed plot details about Finding Nemo sequel Finding Dory.
The Pixar president spoke about the film at Comic Con Experience in São Paulo last week. Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton will return to helm the new feature, which will take place one year after the original movie.
Finding Dory will follow amnesiac Pacific regal blue tang fish Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) as she searches for her parents with Nemo and Merlin (Albert Brooks). The film is largely set at the Marine Biology Institute of California, an enormous sea life rehabilitation center.
Alexander Gould originally voiced Nemo at age nine, and it is unclear if the actor will return for the sequel. Willem Dafoe and Vicki Lewis will reprise Gill and Deb, with Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy as Dory's parents, Ty Burrell as beluga whale Bailey and Kaitlin Olson as an orca.
Finding Nemo was released in 2003, and grossed over $936 million at the box office. The movie won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2004, and holds a 99% fresh rating on website Rotten Tomatoes. Finding Dory will open in theaters June 17, 2016.
