Finding Dory is set one year after the first film takes place, reported director Andrew Stanton, the two-time Oscar winner who directed Finding Nemo a decade ago. This time, Dory returns to the open sea in search of her parents. It’s slated to hit theaters in November 2015.
Disney also announced Friday the voice casts of its upcoming The Good Dinosaur and Inside Out.
The cast of the prehistoric creature feature includes John Lithgow as the character Poppa and Frances McDormand as Momma, along with Bill Hader, Neil Patrick Harris and Judy Greer playing their kids, and Lucas Neff voicing their sibling, protagonist Arlo.
