Disney/Pixar

The moment an entire generation of film fans has who have just kept swimming since 2003 is here, as Pixar announced today that the sequel to their smash hit "Finding Nemo" will be called "Finding Dory" and will hit theaters on November 25, 2015.

I know the people at Pixar were busy creating 'Toy Story 16.' But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic.
