Ellen DeGeneres is currently in talks with Disney Pixar on whether her FINDING NEMO character is to return for the sequel…or not. To Disney Pixar – it wouldn’t be the same without her.
Back in 2003, DeGeneres voiced the character Dory, a little blue fish who helped find the clown-fish who caused all the original trouble. However, just because she appeared in the first film does not mean she is guaranteed to return to the next. That hasn’t stopped Ellen from voicing her opinion over the years, as she’s stated several times that she would like to see a follow-up. Her dreams have apparently come true, as Andrew Stanton (who wrote and co-directed FINDING NEMO) is back for the sequel.
Considering how successful Part 1 was (it won the Academy Award for Best Animated feature and grossed $868 million worldwide) it’d be a shame to drop any of the main original cast. Hopefully, Pixar can strike a deal and DeGeneres/Dory will be back!
