‘Finding Dory’ – new character images and cast info released
As the release of Disney/Pixar’s Finding Dory draws ever closer, prospective audiences have been given more of a look at the ensemble cast via a series of images originally released to USA Today. The film, a sequel to the 2003 Pixar mega-hit Finding Nemo, will feature many of the original cast of aquatic characters, including clownfish father/son duo Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolence), as well as sea turtles Crush (voiced by director Andrew Stanton) and Squirt, a host of cameos and, naturally, Dory herself (Ellen DeGeneres).
