Disney and Pixar are heading back to the ocean. According to a report by Deadline, a brand new Finding Nemo short is officially in early production, bringing back Ellen DeGeneres to voice everyone's favorite blue tang, Dory. While specific plot details are still under wraps, the project marks an unexpected return for the character since her last major cinematic outing in 2016's Finding Dory.
For anyone who grew up quoting the movie or watching it on repeat during endless weekend gaming sessions, this announcement carries a strong wave of nostalgia. Pixar shorts have historically served as creative testing grounds or fun companion pieces to major releases, so the big question is where this new project will land when it finally drops. Whether it debuts on Disney+ as a quick watch between queue times or rolls out ahead of a theatrical release, it is bound to pull in audiences who treat these classic animated universes as comfort viewing.
As production kicks off, we will be keeping an eye out for whether this short leads to more interactive tie-ins or digital experiences. After all, beloved franchises rarely stay confined to traditional screens these days. Head over to IGN South Africa to read the full original report on the upcoming project.
