Earlier today at the D23 Expo, the first movie poster for Finding Dory was revealed, but during tonight’s animation panel, there was a lot more.
The animation panel on Friday night took a look at numerous film projects coming from Disney, and one of the most anticipated is Pixar’s Finding Dory. Now, there are new details about the film, and it seems awesome.
Here are some of the new things known:
- Dory’s mom Jenny is voiced by Diane Keaton
- Dory’s dad Charlie is voiced by Eugene Levy
- Bailey the Beluga whale is voiced by Ty Burrell – He believes he has a massive head injury and doesn’t realize how belugas actually look
- Albert Brooks is back as the voice of Marlon
- Hayden Rolence is the new Nemo because the original voice actor is now 21-years-old
- Hank the Octopus is voiced by Ed O’Neill
- Destiny is a whale shark voiced by Kaitlin Olson – She thinks she is a pure whale
- In the film, Dory is on a school trip and pulled into an undertow which triggers some sort of flashback of memories from her past. Dory must try to “migrate” and she has a memory about the “jewel of Monterrey” which takes her on the quest to find her parents.
- Finding Dory takes place six months after the first film.
Finding Dory is scheduled to hit theaters on June 17, 2016.
