First look at the 'Finding Nemo' sequel you never thought would happen

August 15, 2015

After its announcement over two years ago in April 2013, we never heard much from Pixar about Finding Dory, the long-teased sequel to 2003's Finding Nemo. That changes today, as Pixar has shared the first official glimpse of the film, which is due out next year.

Tweeted by Disney last night, a new picture from the film has surfaced online, showing Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) interacting with a new octopus character named Hank, voiced by Ed O'Neill (Modern Family, Married With Children). It's not much, but it's finally something. With the film due out in under a year, we can surely expect a trailer within the coming months.

Check out the screen below. Finding Dory hits theaters on June 17, 2016.
