Ellen DeGeneres is set to return as the voice of Dory in a new short film related to the beloved Finding Nemo universe. The announcement was first reported by Deadline on April 24, with production already underway. While Pixar has not released specific details about the storyline or release date, DeGeneres shared her enthusiasm on Instagram, posting a screenshot of the news with the caption, “Excited about this.” Dory, a forgetful blue tang fish, first captured hearts in the original Finding Nemo (2003), which became a box office hit and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The franchise continued with Finding Dory (2016), which focused on Dory's quest to find her parents and grossed over $1 billion worldwide. In her personal life, DeGeneres has recently moved to the U.K. and is enjoying a quieter lifestyle with her wife, Portia de Rossi. Despite this, she remains eager to engage in new projects, expressing a desire to have fun and stay active in her career.
