Ellen DeGeneres got a little political on her daytime talk show when she touched on President Donald Trump's controversial immigration ban, and Trump's recent White House screening of her Pixar comedy Finding Dory.
"If you haven’t heard, this is what happened over the weekend on Friday. The President gave an order banning people from seven countries from entering the United States, including people with green cards. Then on Saturday, the President screened Finding Dory at the White House," DeGeneres recounted. "I don’t get political, but I will say that I am against one of those two things."

Finding Dory is full of familiar voices. There's Ellen DeGeneres, reprising her role as Dory, the energetic and forgetful Pacific regal blue tang. There's Ed O'Neill, making his debut as a surly septopus named Hank. Albert Brooks, Ty Burrell, Idris Elba, Bill Hader, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Kate McKinnon, Kaitlin Olson, Bob Peterson, Hayden Rolence and Dominic West also lend their voice talents to the sequel. And then there's three-time Academy Award nominee Sigourney Weaver, whose disembodied voice welcomes visitors to the Marine Life Institute in Morro Bay, Calif. Weaver's recording is a running joke in the Disney•Pixar film, as the animals have all come to consider Weaver a friend. If...

Before we get to Finding Dory, let's take a minute to discuss Piper, the latest short from Pixar Animation Studios.
In what may be the most adorable animated short yet, Piper is a simple, heartwarming story. There is such attention to detail when looking at the ruffled feathers of our titular character. Growing up takes courage, and we watch this little guy discover how to feed himself. It's difficult to say more without robbing you of a reason to watch, but try hard to fight the urge to say "aww" out loud. But, don't hold it against yourself if one sneaks out.
Synopsis: Written and directed by Andrew Stanton, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin,...

“Finding Dory” marks yet another mid-life crisis movie at Pixar —a trend that’s sure to continue. For Andrew Stanton, though, the fear of being alone for Ellen DeGeneres’ forgetful blue tang became more relatable when he realized mid-way through production: “My kids are gone and who am I?”
“It was interesting to realize that I was talking about middle age and accepting who you are and going with it….It all kinda comes out eventually after four years on a film,” Stanton conceded.
But the “Finding Nemo” sequel, 13 years later, was daunting, like a second season of TV, where it’s a different path and you’re working from the outside in.
Stanton said he’s never had such a hard time cracking a character’s way of expressing itself.

The ocean is a big, diverse setting for a movie, consisting as it does of environments both brutal and beautiful. In Finding Nemo, one of its most celebrated films, Pixar leveraged both this natural grandeur and its own technical prowess to fill an unadorned narrative with moments of nearly overpowering presence. It was the story of a father looking for his lost son, festooned with all of the small moral lessons about growing up and letting go and the power of love. It was simple, but the world it brought to life made the film special.
In a quest to invert everything about its progenitor — perhaps as a way to inoculate itself against accusations of pointlessness — Finding Dory doesn’t just trade a searching parent for a searching child, but also swaps the big blue sea for a Marine Life Institute. Given the technological leaps and bounds that the company has made in the intervening years and what impact the few open water scenes still deliver, it’s a bizarre choice, one of many that keep this film from being great and forcing it instead to settle for merely fine.
The major hindrance that Finding Dory must overcome is its choice of a protagonist. In Nemo, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), an adorable blue tang that struggled with short-term memory loss, was a comedic sidekick. Her addle-minded lack of focus and boundless optimism served as both a barricade and boon in Marlin’s (Albert Brooks) search for his son. It was a character trait that created conflict but also lead to many triumphant moments of victory for the character and that story. Here, it becomes a major plot point — the driving mechanism of the entire story — and the focus of many, many conversations about respecting and finding value in disability.
A year after the events of Finding Nemo, Dory is living with Nemo (Hayden Rolence) and Marlin (Brooks again) under a piece of brain coral next to their anemone. Following a close call involving a dangerous undertow that jogs her memory of her family, Dory decides she must set off in order to find the mother and father she can’t remember forgetting. One would think this is a chance to visit some deep-water environments left out of the last picture, but the narrative goes in a very different direction.
Dory, Marlin, and Nemo cross the entirety of the Pacific Ocean in a single, cameo-filled scene and arrive on the coast of California when Dory is suddenly snatched up by a pair of marine biologists who believe she is in distress. From there she is taken into the Marine Life Institute, a research and rescue center for sea creatures that also functions as a theme park. Believing the park holds her parents, Dory teams up with a traumatized octopus in order to search the many exhibits. Meanwhile, Marlin and Nemo attempt breaking into the quarantine zone to find their friend.
This setup creates a dual narrative that embraces the best parts of espionage and heist films. However, both of those genre types value briskness of narrative and intricacy of action, so the usual Pixar touch of character and heart has to be crammed in at the margins. Dory has a series of flashbacks that fill in her backstory and layer on emotional notes to an otherwise frenetic narrative melody, but, in general, relationships from the story’s start are unchanged by film’s end. The narrative-mandated internal conflict revolves around Marlin insulting Dory’s memory (her ability to remember, not the memory of her) but they are separated so soon after the initial slight that the tension never takes off. When it comes time for Dory to be told that her memory problem makes her unique and special and valuable, it feels less like an earned moment and more like an obligation to be filled. It’s especially disingenuous given how certain other characters who are less anthropomorphic are treated, with the entirety of their screentime serving as a series of cheap punchlines.
The good news is that the newest additions to the cast, one-dimensional as they are, make up for most (if not all) of these plot and story deficiencies. Idris Elba and Dominic West stage a small Wire reunion as two seals who know all there is to know about the Mli, but who also excitedly protect their lounging rock. Ty Burrell and Kaitlin Olson lend their voices to a bantering beluga whale and near-sighted whale shark, respectively, making for an important duo in assisting our forgetful lead while grappling with their own self-confidence issues.
The star, though, is Hank, a sneakily capable but guarded octopus who wants to use Dory’s plight to get himself out of having to be returned to the ocean. As voiced by Ed O’Neill, Hank is a fantastic dramatic and comedic presence, the kind of damaged, grizzled hero that plays as a perfect foil to Dory’s impish eagerness. They’re a great team, and their dynamic is much more interesting to observe than a simple retread of the Marlin-Dory dynamic we saw in Nemo.
Everything is gorgeously rendered, of course, and directors Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane stage some thrilling and inventive action scenes. There’s a plethora of visual jokes on top of the creative solutions fish use to navigate dry land. From a technical perspective, this animation is everything one could hope for from the studio that gave us a number of classic animations in this new millennium.
It’s a shame that the emotional and narrative aspects can’t keep pace with these leaps in technology. In terms of emotional complexity and character evolution, Finding Dory treads the same water as its predecessor with less success. It’s a fine technological update and not a particularly inspired storytelling upgrade.
(Note: Alan Barillaro‘s short film, Piper, plays before Finding Dory. This may be the most accomplished short Pixar has ever produced. It tells, with elegant economy and wordless grace, the story of a hatchling sand piper learning to navigate the shore to find food. Photo-realistic and filmed with a shallow focus that makes the sand piper’s relatively tiny world seem overwhelming, this short is everything a Pixar fan could want. It sets a new benchmark for visual storytelling in a computer-generated environment while also delivering laughs and heart. Honestly, if you’re so-so on the idea of Dory, Piper is more than enough to tip that ambivalence into a firm “yes.”)
Finding Dory opens on Friday, June 17.

Even though some folks bemoan when Pixar goes the sequel route, they still turn up in droves, and that will certainly be the case for this sequel to Finding Nemo, one of the studio’s most beloved titles. This one, Finding Dory, opens this week and is a pretty cute new adventure for the heroes from the first one. It’s basically a slam dunk for the studio, so this is going to be a huge success no matter the quality, but it helps that this is an easy to recommend cartoon. Something tells me that Disney will again be able to print money from this Pixar outing. The film is, once again, a sequel to Finding Nemo, continuing a trend with Pixar of making follow ups to some of their most popular properties. Here, we’re following Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), the forgetful Blue Tang who now is searching for her parents (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy), as she’s remembered her childhood. Along for the ride is Marlon (Albert Brooks), who obviously owes her from last time, and Nemo as well. This search will take them to a Marine Life Institute where Dory thinks her parents are. There she’ll meet a ton of friends, old and new, including octopus Hank (Ed O’Neill). Andrew Stanton is once again at the helm here, co-directing with Angus MacLane and co-writing with the duo of Bob Peterson and Victoria Strouse. The voice cast, in addition to those mentioned, includes Ty Burrell, Idris Elba, Bill Hader, Kate McKinnon, Kaitlin Olson, Hayden Rolence, Dominic West, and a cameo of sorts by Sigourney Weaver. Music is by Thomas Newman. Though this isn’t as good as the first one (probably an impossible bar to clear), there’s definitely plenty of fun to be had here. Personally, I really loved Hank, which is a combination of O’Neill doing strong voice work and the animators at Pixar really outdoing themselves with the creation of the octopus. Watching him is delightful, as is the whole thing really, once the first act is through. It takes a while for things to get going here, but as the second half begins, the movie is firing on all cylinders. It’s not top tier Pixar, but it’s still an easy to recommend family film. Awards wise, this is probably going to be a very targeted campaign on the part of Pixar and Disney. Sure, with money to burn they’ll throw out a [...]...

A new trailer for Finding Dory dropped today. While there’s plenty to squee over (baby Dory! Octopus antics! Peter Gabriel paired with Pixar yet again!), what the Internet is slowly starting to notice and get excited over is the two characters who just might be Pixar’s first lesbian couple. As Twitter user @DLthings pointed out, the two women outside the Marine Life Institute in the trailer might hold this distinction. Here they are: They appear shortly after the one-minute mark in the trailer released this morning: This comes a few days after a petition to give Frozen’s Elsa a girlfriend made the rounds online. (Elsa herself a.k.a. Idina Menzel responded, “I think it’s great.”) There has been speculation before that Pixar had given audiences a lesbian character, Brave’s Merida being a notable instance of such theories.

Finding Dory will swim into theaters in just 23 days. To build anticipation ahead of its release, Disney and Pixar released a new trailer Tuesday. Set six months after the events of 2003's Finding Nemo, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is living in the Australian reef with Marlin (Albert Brooks) and Nemo (Hayden Rolence) when she suddenly remembers that she has a family. With her clownfish friends by her side, Dory sets off on an adventure across the ocean to California's Marine Life Institute, a rehabilitation center and aquarium. On her journey to find her mother (Diane Keaton) and father (Eugene Levy), Dory enlists the help of three Mli residents: Hank (Ed O'Neill), a slightly crabby octopus; Bailey (Ty Burrell), a beluga...

Unsurprisingly, it was Captain America: Civil War that ruled the roost over the course of the weekend, pulling in a staggering $182 million at the domestic box office in its path to reaching $678 million globally – aided, of course, by the early opening overseas.
But with those in North America celebrating all things Mother’s Day, this past weekend presented an opportunity for studios to get in on the occasion – one of which being Disney-Pixar, who rolled out a new spot for Finding Dory that celebrates friends, flaws and the value of family.
At only 30 seconds in length, the teaser is designed more to showcase Dory’s plight, as she sets about reuniting with her wayward parents after undersea migration triggers a burning desire within our friendly and forgetful fish to return home.
Joining Ellen DeGeneres’ clumsy protagonist on said journey are Diane Keaton, Willem Dafoe, Dominic West, Kaitlin Olson, Ty Burrell,...

In early March, Disney invited me and a handful of other writers to fly to Monterey Bay, California, and attend an early press event for Pixar’s newest film, Finding Dory. Why Monterey? Because it’s the site of one of the world’s coolest aquariums, where a lot of the Dory team did hands-on research for the movie, and it serves as the inspiration for a major location in the new movie. We spent two days checking out the aquarium and talking to the filmmakers about revisiting and expanding the world of Finding Nemo, how they brought the story to life, and much more.
“Nobody plans to make a sequel thirteen years later. It’s a product of character love,” director Andrew Stanton told us. Here’s the full story about how the idea for this movie came to be, straight from the man who dreamed it up:

Disney•Pixar’s Finding Dory filmmakers revealed today that Hank, the film’s cantankerous octopus with camouflaging capabilities, has appeared in every one of their feature films since 1995’s Toy Story.
Finding Dory featuring the voice of Ed O’Neill as Hank, opens in theaters nationwide on June 17, 2016.
“Every Pixar fan knows that we love Easter Eggs,” said director Andrew Stanton, who also directed the 2003 Oscar-winning film “Finding Nemo.” “And until now, Hank has been our most closely guarded secret. There are even people internally at Pixar who don’t know about this.”
Pixar is known for the hidden gems that appear in its feature films, including the Luxo Ball, the Pizza Planet Truck and A113, which is a nod to the animation classroom at CalArts, where several filmmakers attended. But the octopus—who’s actually a “septopus,” as he’s missing a tentacle—has remained a secret for two decades.

Before Dory embarks on her epic adventure, Disney-Pixar would like to introduce you to the new cast of characters that Dory will meet along the way, in Finding Dory! Take a look!

Happy March, dear readers! The Oscars are behind us now, and Disney’s Zootopia comes out this Friday. Speaking of which, this week’s Trailer Trashin’ takes a look at the second trailer for Disney/Pixar’s Finding Dory.
Premise: Six months after the events of Finding Nemo, Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres) suddenly recalls her childhood memories. Remembering something about “the jewel of Monterey, California,” she sets out to find her family, accompanied by Nemo (voice of Hayden Rolence) and Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks).

At last!
The first trailer for the long-awaited "Finding Dory," the sequel to 2003's smash hit "Finding Nemo," finally debuted on "The Ellen Show" this morning. And "Dory" looks just as lovable, quirky, and gently humorous as "Nemo."
Though it's been a dozen years since "Nemo," it's only been six months in the movie timeline. Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is still living with clownfish friends Martin (Albert Brooks) and son Nemo. But soon, she starts sleep-swimming and recalling old memories. Yes, Dory can remember!
She experiences memories of her family, and with Martin and Nemo's help, sets off on a grand adventure to discover her past. Pixar has previously revealed that some of the movie will be set at the Monterey Marine Life Institute, and that Dory will meet with new characters, including a beluga whale, whale shark, and octopus.
"Finding Dory" opens in theaters June 17, 2016.

John Lasseter, animation guru and Chief Creative Officer at both Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios, gave a special presentation of the companies’ upcoming slate in Cannes today.
The advancements in animation he showed during the session earned some roars of approval from the assembled press and industry guests.
“These two studios are filmmaker-driven studios,” Lasseter said. “Our focus is on telling great stories and we celebrate the heritage of each studio. It’s exciting to be constantly breaking new ground.”

Pixar’s slate of course includes Pete Docter’s Inside Out, which premiered to rave reviews in Cannes earlier this week.
“It’s a very special movie for us,” Lasseter said. “When you look at all the films Pixar has made this could be the most important, It makes you think about your own thoughts, emotions, memories in a different way.” The film opens in France on June 17 (under the title [link=tt...

Chicago – A good comedy film lives and breathes through the right casting of character roles. In the new film “21 Jump Street,” Ice Cube is the angry police captain who guides his undercover recruits Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as they infiltrate high school. Rob Riggle pitches in as a wacky high school coach.
Both supporting players were in Chicago a couple weeks ago, promoting their new film, and HollywoodChicago.com got to sit in on a press roundtable. “21 Jump Street” is loosely based on the 1987 TV show, and besides the buddy picture antics of Hill and Tatum, there are also the familiar comic stylings of Chris Parnell and Ellie Kemper (“Bridesmaids”).
