Ray about migration, where sea animals use their instinct to return home, Dory’s memories are triggered, and she has the sudden urge to find her parents, only vaguely remembering that they lived at the Jewel of Morro Bay, California. One year after the events of the first film, Dory begins having fragmented dreams and flashbacks of her life prior to meeting Marlin and Nemo, particularly of her parents. It received positive reviews and has grossed over $264 million worldwide. The film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on June 8, 2016, and was released in the United States on June 17, 2016. Along the way, she is captured and taken to a California public aquarium, from which Marlin and Nemo attempt to rescue her. Finding Dory focuses on the amnesiac fish Dory, and explores her journey to be reunited with her parents. The film features the voices of Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Hayden Rolence, Ed O’Neill, Kaitlin Olson, Ty Burrell, Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy.

Andrew Stanton, who directed the first film, returned as writer and director, alongside Angus MacLane as the co-director, and Victoria Strouse and Finding Nemo co-writer Bob Peterson as writers. The film is a sequel to the 2003 film Finding Nemo.
