A sequel to the Oscar winning animated movie "Finding Nemo" has been announced by Disney-Pixar studio.

The new film titled "Finding Dory" will focus on the little blue fish in the first movie, voiced by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. It will hit the theatres on November 25, 2015.

The Disney-owned computer animation company said its follow up to 2003's movie will be directed by original 'Nemo' co-director Andrew Stanton, said The Hollywood Reporter.

"I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. I'm not mad it took this long. I know the people at Pixar were busy creating Toy Story 16. But the time they took was worth it. The script is fantastic. And it has everything I loved about the first one: It's got a lot of heart, it's really funny, and the best part is - it's got a lot more Dory," DeGeneres said.
 

Pixar said the sequel is set in part along the California coastline and along with several returning favourites, the movie will welcome a host of new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory's life.

The film is the latest in Pixar's increasingly long line of sequels - along with three 'Toy Story' films and two 'Cars' installments.
