Ellen DeGeneres is set to reprise her role as Dory in Pixar's forthcoming animated short film. Titled Finding Nemo, this project features Albert Brooks as Marlin, a protective clownfish on a mission to rescue his son Nemo from divers near the Great Barrier Reef. Joining them is Dory, a memorable blue tang with short-term memory challenges. Their journey involves navigating perilous waters alongside creatures such as sharks and jellyfish to reach Sydney, while Nemo attempts an escape from a dentist’s aquarium.
Details about the narrative remain scarce, with no official cast or creative team announced at publication. The project lacks a formal title but is confirmed to be a Pixar spinoff of the beloved Finding Nemo. The original 2003 film, directed by Andrew Stanton, achieved massive commercial success and an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
DeGeneres’ portrayal of Dory became iconic, leading to the 2016 sequel Finding Dory, also helmed by Stanton. This sequel further solidified the franchise’s legacy, grossing over $1 billion globally. Beyond films, DeGeneres has voiced Dory in Disney theme park attractions and various short films.
Pixar traditionally releases original shorts alongside feature films—a tradition starting with A Bug's Life (1998). Recent shorts have debuted on Disney+, suggesting the untitled Finding Nemo project may follow suit, though no release date has been set. While no official confirmation exists, speculation fuels hopes for future developments, with director Stanton expressing openness to new possibilities.
Currently, all Finding Nemo films are available on Disney+.
