Film: Pixar’s classic “Finding Nemo” getting a sequel

We fell in love with a radical sea turtle named Crush and mysterious moorish idol named Gill. We met a group of sharks trying to swear off eating fish and an aquarium stuffed with strange but highly likeable characters from the sea. But more than any of them, we remember: P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

Pixar’s fifth animated film, “Finding Nemo,” followed a father’s journey through the ocean in search of his son, who was scooped up by human scuba divers and relocated to a dentist office’s aquarium. The film was touching on an emotional level, and, as Pixar’s films often are, it was enjoyable across all ages, and won the Oscar that year for Best Animated Feature. Fans of the film will be happy to hear that this classic is, indeed, getting a sequel.

The sequel will feature the same director and writer as the original, Andrew Stanton, who also wrote and directed “WALL-E” and “A Bug’s Life.” Deadline announced on Tuesday that comedian Albert Brooks would be reprising his voice role as Marlin, and comedian Ellen DeGeneres is said to be returning as Dory.

This leaves viewers wondering — what’s the plot? Is Nemo going to get lost again? Just how slippery is this fish? “Finding Nemo” left the characters happy, having for the most part overcome their individual flaws. Will new flaws be introduced?

It looks like Pixar fans are going to have to wait a while for any new information about the film, which isn’t going to be released until 2016.
