<\/a>“Helllloooooooo, whaaaaallllle!” Who hasn’t been wondering how Dory learned to speak whale since they first saw Finding Nemo? The answer to that question will be revealed next June when “Finding Dory,” is released on June 17, 2016. We’ll learn more than just that about the blue tang fish’s past, and meet some of her friends, including this guy.<\/p>\n
Oscar\u00ae-winning Director Andrew Stanton (\u201cFinding Nemo,\u201d\u00a0\u201cWALL\u2022E\u201d) said, \u201cIn Finding Dory<\/em>, we can expect to address the one emotionally open-ended issue that remained from the first movie: Where is Dory\u2019s family, and will this overly-optimistic fish with short-term memory loss ever be able to find them again? Her issue has also given us the opportunity to travel to very different locations, on land and sea, and meet a variety of new sea creatures that expand the world of Nemo, Marlin and Dory.\u201d<\/p>\n Audiences also learned that Ed O\u2019Neill (\u201cModern Family\u201d), lends his voice to Hank, a cantankerous octopus; Ty Burrell (\u201cModern Family\u201d), will be the voice of Bailey, a misguided beluga whale; and Kaitlin Olson (\u201cAlways Sunny in Philadelphia\u201d), is the voice of Destiny, a kind whale shark.<\/p>\n THE GOOD DINOSAUR<\/strong><\/p>\n Frequent readers know that I’m already very excited to get to see “The Good Dinosaur” this Christmas and that I’ve already put in a request for an Arlo toy for Christmas. Arlo is the cutest, and our family cannot wait to meet him! (Yes, we have scheduled our Thanksgiving plans around his debut on November 25, 2015. That’s normal, right?)<\/p>\n At D23, we got our first sight of the three T-Rexes who help Arlo learn the meaning of family and discover his own strength. (You can see the trailer here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n MOANA<\/b><\/p>\n It should be a wonderful way to explore the South Pacific, both visually and musically. The team behind the film’s music is impressive and includes Tony\u00ae-winner Lin-Manuel Miranda<\/strong> (Broadway\u2019s hottest new hit\u00a0\u201cHamilton,\u201d Tony-winning\u00a0\u201cIn the Heights\u201d), Grammy\u00ae-winning composer Mark Mancina<\/strong> (\u201cSpeed\u201d, \u201cTarzan\u201d \u201cThe Lion King\u201d) and Opetaia Foa\u2019i<\/strong> (founder and lead singer of the world music award-winning band Te Vaka).<\/p>\n TOY STORY 4 I think Lasseter spoke for many, many people when he said, “All the characters from \u2018Toy Story\u2019\u2014especially Woody and Buzz\u2014are so close to us. They seem more like family members than just creations. Not only do we dearly love the characters, but we also love the world of \u2018Toy Story\u2019\u2014the world where toys come to life when people are not in the room has always been rich with many story possibilities.”<\/p>\n GIGANTIC<\/strong><\/p>\n One great aspect of D23 is getting an idea of movies that are years ago, such as Gigantic which won’t be released until 2018. Gigantic<\/em> is Disney’s spin on \u201cJack and the Beanstalk,” and will feature music from Oscar\u00ae-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.<\/p>\n Set in Spain during the Age of Exploration, Gigantic follows adventure-seeker Jack as he discovers a world of giants hidden within the clouds. He hatches a grand plan with Inma, a 60-foot-tall, 11-year-old girl, and agrees to help her find her way home. But he doesn\u2019t account for her super-sized personality\u2014and who knew giants were so down to earth?<\/p>\n Which Disney film are you most excited to see?<\/p>\n YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: <\/strong>New trailer of The Good Dinosaur from Pixar #TheGoodDino<\/a><\/p>\n PRIOR POST: <\/strong>Why the United Kingdom is the best country in Epcot<\/a><\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss a post!

The animated “Moana” introduces a\u00a0spirited teenager who\u00a0sails out on a daring mission to fulfill her ancestors\u2019 unfinished quest. She meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage.
