Finding Dory is a fun computer-animated comedy adventure movie released in 2016. It was made by Pixar Animation Studios and came out through Walt Disney Pictures. This movie is a sequel to the popular 2003 Disney-Pixar film, Finding Nemo.
Andrew Stanton, who also directed the first movie, was the director for Finding Dory. The movie was officially announced by Walt Disney Pictures in April 2013. Originally, it was planned to be released in late 2015. Hayden Rolence voiced the character of Nemo the clownfish in this film. This was because Alexander Gould, who voiced Nemo in Finding Nemo, had grown up and his voice had changed.
The Story of Dory
Finding Dory is all about Dory, a friendly regal blue tang fish. Dory has a special challenge: she forgets things almost instantly because of her short-term memory loss. The main story follows Dory as she tries to find her long-lost family. The adventure takes place near the coast of California.
