Finding Dory

                      
The Ellen Show _ Ellen Announces 'Finding Dory' by hulu    

     After 10 years of waiting, Pixar has announced the long anticipated sequel to Finding Nemo! They chose Ellen DeGeneres to announce this news on her show (this is fitting because she will be cast as Dory again). In this movie, the story will follow Dory on her adventures and we will learn more about her family. The release of this is scheduled for November of 2015. It's a long wait but it will defiantly be worth it!

    Are you excited for this movie!?

There Are Many Fish in the Sea

     Have you been curious about what the characters in Finding Nemo were based on? Were they made up or are they actually based on animals that live in the sea? Well, most are based on wildlife that actually lives in the earth's oceans! In this post, I will talk about the fish that many of the characters were based on. 

 Royal Blue Tang

     Can you guess who this is? Yes this is the fish that Dory was based on. The blue tangs are indigenous to reefs in East Africa, Japan, Samoa, New Caledonia, and the Great Barrier Reef. They like to live in pairs and eat algae and plankton. They are also the most popular marine aquarium fish in the world.

Moorish Idol

     This is what Gill was based on. These fish have been seen in East Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Ducie Islands; Hawaii, southern Japan and all of Micronesia. They like to live alone and are picky eaters, often choosing not to eat anything when their preference of sponges and corals are not present. 

Ocher Starfish

     This is the starfish Peach was based on. This sea star is common in the Pacific Ocean. Their main diet consists of plankton and mussels. Most are purple, but many are also yellow, orange, reddish, and brown.
