Ellen DeGeneres to Return as Dory in New Pixar Short Film: Exciting Details Revealed!

Ellen DeGeneres is set to reprise her role as Dory, the beloved blue tang fish, in a new short film from Pixar's Finding Nemo universe. The details of the plot and other creative team members are currently undisclosed as production is just beginning on the project. Finding Nemo, released in 2003, was a massive success, grossing over $941 million worldwide and winning an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

DeGeneres' portrayal of Dory in Finding Nemo led to the character's own spin-off film, Finding Dory, in 2016. The sequel, directed by Andrew Stanton, was a box office hit, grossing over $1 billion globally. DeGeneres has also lent her voice to Dory in Disney theme park attractions and various short films.

In addition to her voice acting work, DeGeneres is known for her long-running talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which concluded in 2022 after 19 seasons and earned numerous Daytime Emmy Awards. The upcoming Dory short will be one of DeGeneres' first screen projects since her Netflix stand-up special, For Your Approval, in 2024, where she addressed her departure from the talk show.

Fans of the Finding Nemo franchise can look forward to seeing Dory back on screen in this new short film, with DeGeneres reprising her iconic role. Stay tuned for more updates on the project as production progresses.
