Disney/Pixar's sequel Finding Dory is now playing in theaters worldwide, thirteen years after its predecessor, Finding Nemo, arrived on the scene - in the process, grossing $896 million around the globe (a number that has only since been eclipsed by Toy Story 3, as far as Pixar movies go) and becoming one of the animation studio's most beloved films ever among critics and general audiences alike. Nemo co-writer/director Andrew Stanton went to helm another Pixar hit ( WALL·E ) and a Disney live-action box office dud ( John Carter ), before he set to work on the next chapter in the stories of Nemo, his father Marlin (Albert Brooks) and their forgetful friend, Dory (Ellen DeGeneres).
