Find out more about forgetful blue tang’s origins in new ‘Finding Dory’ trailer

Add as a preferred source on Google

In the past six months, we’ve seen plenty of everyone’s favorite amnesic blue tang, but the star of Finding Dory is so darn lovable that you can’t help but want more. Luckily, Disney U.K. gave fans just that earlier Tuesday, when it released a new trailer for the film that features plenty of fresh footage, and even a few new species joining in on the fun.

The official U.K. trailer (embedded above) checks in at 2 minutes, 34 seconds — substantially longer than the spots we’ve seen thus far — and Disney uses this extended look to provide us with a glimpse at the aftermath of Dory’s separation from her family.

We open up with a flashback, as two fish weave through a murky kelp forest. The pair happens upon a juvenile Dory, who introduces herself before they ask “where are your parents?” We then cut to her enlisting the help of an oceanic sunfish, but when asked, she again can’t recall where she left her kin.

Beyond that, we get a deeper look at life inside the Monterey Marine Life Institute and the debut of Idris Elba as Fluke the sea lion. While Marlin warns Nemo that he is a “natural predator” who could “pounce at any moment,” the only thing that seems to bother him at all is when an unsuspecting rival encroaches upon his rock. He barks, “OFF!, OFF!, OFF!,” but turns back into a gentle giant as soon as the trespasser retreats back into the water.

As was the case with the previous trailers, this spot is loads of fun, and we have no reason to doubt that the movie itself will be a similarly good time. Let’s be honest, if you can’t get a kick out of nearsighted whale sharks and ill-tempered octopi, you’re just not all that fun yourself.

For those based outside of the U.K., you can ignore the note at the end about the film hitting cinemas on July 29. Here in the United States, Finding Dory hits theaters June 17.

Laika has delivered multiple animated classics like Coraline, ParaNorman, and Kubo and the Two Strings. But with Wildwood, the studio delivered a revolutionary magnum opus that showcases the best of stop-motion storytelling. Directed by Travis Knight (Masters of the Universe), this movie follows teenager Prue (Elizabeth Peyton Lee) as she and her friend Curtis (Jacob Tremblay) venture into a magical forest to rescue her baby brother from a murder of crows sent by the evil sorceress Alexandra (Carey Mulligan).

2026 saw the release of multiple animated hits, including Hoppers, Toy Story 5, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender, GOAT, and Forgotten Island. However, with its mature story, realistic characters, and jaw-dropping animation, Wildwood has proven itself the top contender for Best Animated Feature at this year's Oscars.

According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.

Grok’s AI-generated Odyssey series is seven minutes of nothing happening beautifully
The landscapes look convincing. The fake Hugh Jackman and Instagram-face amalgamation playing Penelope are harder to forgive.
Uniform ships Odyssey by Grok

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.
