Details about the plot and other creative team members are being kept under wraps as production has just kicked off.
The original Finding Nemo, directed by Andrew Stanton in 2003, became an instant classic, telling the tale of a clownfish’s quest to find his lost son, Nemo.
Dory, the forgetful but lovable blue tang voiced by DeGeneres, quickly became the franchise’s breakout star, leading to the 2016 sequel Finding Dory, which smashed box office records worldwide.
Besides the films, DeGeneres has lent her voice to Dory for Disney theme park rides and various shorts, making the character a fan favourite across platforms.
This new short marks one of DeGeneres’ first screen projects since her 2024 Netflix stand-up special For Your Approval, where she addressed her controversial exit from The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
With no release date announced yet, fans will be eagerly waiting to see what new underwater adventures await Dory and her friends.
