As she grows up, Dory attempts to search for them, but gradually forgets them due to her short - term memory loss. In the flashback of the previous film, Finding Nemo, she joins Marlin -- a clownfish looking for his missing son Nemo -- after accidentally swimming into him. One year later, Dory is living with Marlin and Nemo on their reef. One day, Dory has a flashback and remembers that she has parents. She decides to look for them, but her memory problem is an obstacle. She eventually remembers that they lived at the Jewel of Morro Bay across the ocean in California, thanks to Nemo mentioning its name. Marlin and Nemo accompany Dory. With the help of Crush, their sea turtle friend, they ride a water current to California. Upon arrival, they explore a shipwreck full of destroyed cargo, where Dory accidentally awakens a giant squid, who immediately pursues them and almost devours Nemo. Marlin berates Dory for endangering them. Her feelings hurt, Dory travels to the surface to seek help and is captured by staff members from the nearby Marine Life Institute after getting entangled in six pack rings. Dory is placed in the quarantine section and tagged. There she meets a grouchy, but well - meaning octopus named Hank. Dory 's tag shows that she will be sent to an aquarium in Cleveland. Due to a traumatic ocean life, Hank wants to live in the aquarium instead of being released back into the ocean, so he agrees to help Dory find her parents in exchange for her tag. In one exhibit, Dory encounters her childhood friend Destiny, a nearsighted whale shark, who used to communicate with Dory through pipes, and Bailey, a beluga whale, who mistakenly believes he has lost his ability to echolocate. Dory subsequently has flashbacks of life with her parents, and struggles to recall details. She finally remembers how she was separated from her parents : she overheard her mother crying one night, left to retrieve a shell to cheer her up, and was pulled away by an undertow current. Marlin and Nemo attempt to rescue Dory. With the help of two California sea lions named Fluke and Rudder and a disfigured common loon named Becky, they manage to get into the institute and find her in the pipe system. Other blue tangs tell them that Dory 's parents escaped from the institute a long time ago to search for her and never came back, leaving Dory believing that they have died. Hank retrieves Dory from the tank, accidentally leaving Marlin and Nemo behind. He is then apprehended by one of the employees and unintentionally drops Dory into the drain, flushing her out to the ocean. While wandering aimlessly, she comes across a trail of shells ; remembering that when she was young, her parents had set out a similar trail to help her find her way back home, she follows it. At the end of the trail, Dory finds an empty brain coral with multiple shell trails leading to it. As she turns to leave, she sees her parents Jenny and Charlie in the distance. They tell her they spent years laying down the trails for her to follow in the hopes that she would eventually find them. Marlin, Nemo, and Hank end up in the truck taking various aquatic creatures to Cleveland. Destiny and Bailey escape from their exhibit to help Dory rescue them. Once on board the truck, Dory persuades Hank to return to the sea with her, and together, they hijack the truck and drive it over busy highways, creating havoc, before crashing it into the sea, freeing all the fish. Dory, along with her parents and new friends, return to the reef with Marlin and Nemo. In a post-credits scene, the tank gang from the first film, still trapped inside their ( now algae - covered ) plastic bags, reach California one year after floating across the Pacific Ocean. They are eventually picked up by staff members from the Marine Life Institute. Voice cast Ellen DeGeneres as Dory, a regal blue tang, who suffers from short - term memory loss.

Production Prior to work on Finding Dory, Disney had planned to make a Finding Nemo sequel without Pixar 's involvement, through Circle 7 Animation, a studio Disney announced in 2005 with the intention to make sequels to Pixar properties. However, due to the 2006 acquisition of Pixar by Disney, Circle 7 was shut down by Disney without ever having produced a film. Although it never went into production, a script for the Circle 7 version was uploaded to the official Raindance Film Festival website. It would involved Nemo 's long lost twin brother named Remy, and Marlin getting captured so Nemo, Remy, and Dory have to save him. Director Andrew Stanton at the 2016 Annecy International Animated Film Festival In July 2012, it was reported that Andrew Stanton was developing a sequel to Finding Nemo, with Victoria Strouse writing the script and a release date scheduled for 2016. However, the same day the news of a potential sequel broke, Stanton posted a message on his personal Twitter calling into question the accuracy of these reports. The message said, `` Did n't you all learn from Chicken Little ? Everyone calm down. Do n't believe everything you read. Nothing to see here now. # skyisnotfalling. '' According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter published in August 2012, Ellen DeGeneres was in negotiations to reprise her role of Dory. In September 2012, it was confirmed by Stanton, saying : `` What was immediately on the list was writing a second Carter movie. When that went away, everything slid up. I know I 'll be accused by more sarcastic people that it 's a reaction to Carter not doing well, but only in its timing, but not in its conceit. '' In February 2013, it was confirmed by the press that Albert Brooks would reprise the role of Marlin in the sequel. In April 2013, Disney announced the sequel, Finding Dory, for November 25, 2015, confirming that DeGeneres and Brooks would be reprising their roles as Dory and Marlin, respectively. Following a long campaign for a sequel on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, DeGeneres stated : I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. I 'm not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating Toy Story 16. But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one : It 's got a lot of heart, it 's really funny, and the best part is -- it 's got a lot more Dory. In a July 2013 interview with Los Angeles Times, Stanton spoke of the sequel 's origin : `` There was polite inquiry from Disney ( about a Finding Nemo sequel ). I was always ' No sequels, no sequels. ' But I had to get on board from a VP standpoint. ( Sequels ) are part of the necessity of our staying afloat, but we do n't want to have to go there for those reasons. We want to go there creatively, so we said ( to Disney ), ' Can you give us the timeline about when we release them ? Because we 'd like to release something we actually want to make, and we might not come up with it the year you want it. ' '' In a 2016 interview Stanton stated how the film 's story came to be ; `` I do n't watch my films that often after they 're done because I have to watch them so many times before they come out. So about 2010 when we were getting Finding Nemo ready for the 10 - year re-release in 3D, it was interesting to watch again after all that time. Something kind of got lodged in the back of my brain and started to sort of stew. I started to think about how easily Dory could get lost and not find Marlin and Nemo again. She basically was in the same state that she was when Marlin found her. I did n't know where she was from. I knew that she had spent most of her youth wandering the ocean alone, and I wanted to know that she could find her new family, if she ever got lost again. It 's almost like the parental side of me was worried. '' Stanton additionally stated : `` I knew if I ever said Finding Dory or mentioned a sequel to Finding Nemo out loud, I 'd be done, ( T ) here would be no way I 'd be able to put that horse back in the barn. So I kept it very quiet until I knew I had a story that I thought would hold, and that was in early 2012. So I pitched it to John Lasseter and he was all into it. Then I got a writer, and once we had a treatment that we kind of liked, I felt comfortable calling Ellen. '' Stanton selected Victoria Strouse to write the screenplay. She later said, `` It was always collaborative with Andrew, but really the screenwriting was me. Of course, Andrew would do passes, and he and I would brainstorm a lot together and then we would bring it to the group of story artists. People would weigh in and share ideas. '' She pointed to Dory 's forgetfulness as a challenge when writing the script, adding, `` You do n't realize until you sit down to write a character who ca n't remember things how integral memory is to absolutely everything we do, and that 's what creates a narrative that people can follow. When a main character ca n't self - reflect and ca n't tell a story, that character is very difficult to design because she ca n't really lead. To get her to be able to lead and to get an audience to be able to trust her was the hardest thing to do. '' The fictional Marine Life Institute depicted extensively in the film is based on the production team 's research trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Marine Mammal Center and the Vancouver Aquarium. The film 's ending was revised after Pixar executives viewed Blackfish, a 2013 documentary film which focuses on the dangers of keeping orca whales in captivity. Initially, some of the characters were to end up in a SeaWorld - like marine park, but the revision gave them an option to leave. On September 18, 2013, it was announced that the film would be pushed back to a June 17, 2016, release. Pixar 's The Good Dinosaur was moved to the November 25, 2015, release window to allow more time for production of the film. Co-director Angus MacLane at a Finding Dory premiere Angus MacLane was one of the first people to whom Stanton revealed his idea for the sequel. Together, with Bob Peterson, they discussed about different ideas for places Dory would visit during her journey -- one of those ideas was the touch pool sequence. Later, during the Brave ( 2012 ) wrap party, Stanton invited Angus to join him in his first co-directing duty. Stanton described Angus ' role as a `` jack of all trades '', particularly utilizing his experience in animation and story, as well as in production, having created a few short films himself. In August 2015, at Disney 's D23 Expo, it was announced that Hayden Rolence would voice Nemo, replacing Alexander Gould from the first film, whose voice has deepened since reaching adulthood ( Gould voiced a minor character in the sequel instead ). At the D23 expo they also announced that Ed O'Neill would be the voice of Hank. To make the light more realistic, RenderMan was completely re-engineered, its biggest change in 25 years.

The film grossed $9.2 million from Thursday night previews, a record for both Pixar and any animated film, and $54.7 million on its opening day, marking both the biggest opening day and single - day for an animated film.

It jumped 18.5 % over its Monday gross, a rare achievement for a film. It crossed the $200 million mark in its first seven days, becoming the first ( and fastest ) animated film to pass the said milestone in just a week. It fell only 46 % in its second weekend earning $73 million to record the biggest second weekend for an animated film ( breaking Shrek 2 's $72.2 million previous record ), the biggest for Disney and 2016 ( surpassing Captain America : Civil War 's $72.6 million ), and the eighth - biggest second weekend gross of all time overall. This was despite facing stiff competition from newcomer Independence Day : Resurgence. It crossed $300 million in 12 days -- a new record for an animated film, surpassing the previous record held by Shrek 2 and Toy Story 3 ( both of which took 18 days ), and became the second animated film of 2016 ( after Zootopia ), the fourth Disney film of 2016, and the sixth overall film of the year to cross the milestone. It continued to dominate the box office for the third straight weekend, despite competitions from three new wide releases -- The Legend of Tarzan, The Purge : Election Year, and fellow Disney release The BFG -- after witnessing a 42 % decline to $41.8 million in three days and $51.4 million in four days, respectively, during the Independence Day holiday frame. This made it the second time in two years and just the third time since 1992, the July 4 holiday box office was topped by a film in its third weekend of release. It broke another record as it passed the $400 million mark in 21 days, which is the fastest for an animated film, the fastest of 2016, the fastest for the studio, and the fifth - fastest of all time overall. Morever, it became the second film of 2016 ( after Captain America : Civil War ), the fifth animated film, the ninth film for the studio, and the twenty - fourth film overall to pass the milestone. On the following day ( July 8 ), it surpassed Civil War to become the biggest film of the year up until Rogue One took that title in January 2017. It dropped out of the top ten in its eighth week. Although the film was finally overtaken by The Secret Life of Pets ( and The Legend of Tarzan in second place ) in its fourth weekend, it nevertheless passed The Lion King to become the highest - grossing Disney animated film of all time in the same weekend, surpassing the latter which held the record for 15 non-consecutive years. In just 30 days, it overtook Shrek 2 ( $441.2 million ) to become the highest - grossing animated film of all time, breaking the latter 's record of 12 years.

In his review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman wrote, `` It 's a film that spills over with laughs ( most of them good, a few of them shticky ) and tears ( all of them earned ), supporting characters who are meant to slay us ( and mostly do ) with their irascible sharp tongues, and dizzyingly extended flights of physical comedy. '' Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal said that `` Finding Dory can be touching, sweet and tender, but it 's compulsively, preposterously and steadfastly funny. '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three - and - a-half stars out of four and said that the film `` brims with humor, heart and animation miracles '', despite lacking `` the fresh surprise of its predecessor ''. Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review, writing, `` Its heroine may suffer from short - term memory loss, but viewers with any memory at all will realize that Finding Dory falls rather short of its wondrous progenitor. '' Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan said that, `` As the 13 - year gap between `` Nemo '' and `` Dory '' indicates, this was not a concept that cried out to be made. '' Environmental controversies and issues Conservationists warned that, very much like Finding Nemo, the film could lead to uninformed customers buying blue tangs for home aquariums. Blue tangs can not be bred in captivity and have to be caught in the wild. They are related to surgeonfish and exhibit razor - sharp spines on both sides of the tail that can inflict formidable wounds. While promoting the film, actress Ellen DeGeneres reminded audiences that Nemo and Dory 's real - life home, the Great Barrier Reef, is under enormous threat, mostly due to coral bleaching, a process induced by climate change, which has killed coral reefs on an enormous scale.
