A few years ago my kids met Nemo and instantly fell in love. They watched the movie daily, they had several Nemo stuffed animals, and their favorite rides at Disney World was The Seas with Nemo & Friends (we once rode the ride 5 times in a row!). So when I heard that Nemo’s friend Dory was getting her very own movie, I was pretty excited…and then I heard that it was going to be released in 2016. It felt like forever away.
But as it turns out, it wasn’t forever because here we are in 2016, just months from the movie’s release. Time flies – or in this case, swims – when you’re having fun! Dory will be here in theaters before we know it!
More about the movie:
Disney•Pixar’s “Finding Dory” reunites everyone’s favorite forgetful blue tang, Dory, with her friends Nemo and Marlin on a search for answers about her past. What can she remember? Who are her parents? And where did she learn to speak Whale? Directed by Andrew Stanton (“Finding Nemo,” “WALL•E”) and produced by Lindsey Collins (co-producer “WALL•E”), the film features the voices of Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill, Kaitlin Olson, Ty Burrell, Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton. “Finding Dory” swims into theaters June 17, 2016.
“Finding Nemo” won the 2003 Academy Award® for best animated feature; the film was nominated for three additional Oscars® (original screenplay, original score, sound editing). It was also nominated for a Golden Globe® Award for best motion picture–comedy or musical. In 2008, the American Film Institute named “Finding Nemo” among the top 10 greatest animated films ever made. At the time of its release, “Finding Nemo” was the highest grossing G-rated movie of all time. It’s the fifth highest grossing animated film worldwide. The film has more than 19 million Likes on Facebook, and Dory—with more than 25 million—is the most liked individual character from a Disney or Disney•Pixar film.

Dory is almost here and my kids just can’t wait! We’ll definitely be in the theater on opening weekend, will you?
