The talk show host who voiced the friendly but forgetful blue tang fish of 2003's Nemo has been lobbying Disney and Pixar for years for a follow up for the Academy Award winning ocean adventure. On Tuesday Disney made it official announcing that the film would be released Nov. 23 2015 Movies Now reported.
And DeGeneres couldn't be more excited.

I'm not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating 'Toy Story 16.' But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one It's got a lot of heart it's really funny and the best part is it's got a lot more Dory.

No longer just her pipe dream the new fish tale will take place a year after the last film leaves off and will focus on DeGeneres' lovable character. The TV host was teeming with excitement and wasn't hiding it.
One thing we couldn't stop thinking about was why she was all alone in the ocean on the day she met Nemo's dad Marlin director Andrew Stanton said. In 'Finding Dory ' she will be reunited with her loved ones learning a few things about the meaning of family along the way.
The comedian also made a splash on her show and social media to showcase her excitement further.
It's official she tweeted Tuesday with a picture of the Finding Dory movie poster.
On her Tuesday show she opened up with a montage of her pleas to Disney and Pixar to make a sequel telling her audience of her journey with the director and frustrations along the way. But she finally got her wish.
Kids let that be a lesson to you she said. Anything is possible if you're patient and beg enough on national television. I'm excited that it's finally happening and I read the script. It's fantastic. It's hilarious. It's warm. It's everything that you want it to be she said on the show. Watch the video below.
She then put up a countdown clock of the millions of minutes left till the movie swims its way into theaters in 2015.
In honor of Finding Dory here's an ocean joke she later tweeted. Why did the mussel hide his iPad from his sister He was being shellfish ClassicJokeTuesday
But her promos didn't stop there DeGeneres has high aspirations for the film and is already campaigning for its sequel.
Too soon she asked posting on a photo on Instagram with a poster for Finding Dory 2.
But on Wednesday her partner Portia DeRossi possibly wiped out DeGeneres' hopes.
Portia pointed out that if the movie is called 'Finding Dory she wrote Wednesday. I'm probably gonna be missing for most of it. Somebody get my agent.
