Some new details have surfaced about Pixar's Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory. It was previously revealed that the story will take place a year after the first film and that it will be set along the California coastline. As far as the story goes,
"A traumatizing event sets off Dory’s 'homing instinct,' and the forgetful fish sets out in search of her family, who are living on a reef. Meanwhile, Nemo and Marlin are out looking for her."
Pixar president Jim Morris revealed some interesting new information at the Comic Con Experience Brazil. At the convention he showed off some art and unfinished scenes from the upcoming sequel and offered some additional details.
One of the biggest reveals is that the story will be mainly set in the Marine Biology Institute of California, which is a huge rehabilitation complex for marine life. Dory learns she was born and raised at the institute and was then released in the ocean when she was a kid. New characters will also be introduced, such as an octopus, sea lions, a beluga whale, and others.
The impressive cast includes Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Willem Dafoe, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Idris Elba, Dominic West, and Ty Burrell. The movie hits theaters on June 17th, 2016.
