Director and Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton tells the press that “Finding Dory” will take place about a year after the first film and will feature favorites from “Finding Nemo” Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others. It will be set along the California coastline and will have some new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory’s life.

We loved Ellen DeGeneres’ comment “I have waited for this day for a long, long, long, long, long, long time… I know the people at Pixar were busy creating ‘Toy Story 16.’ The script is fantastic… It’s got a lot of heart, it’s really funny, and the best part is—it’s got a lot more Dory.”

John Carter Romances the Hero in All of Us

It’s been almost 100 years since Edgar Rice Burroughs created the character John Carter and the story “A Princess of Mars” which has lived through time as a truly transmedia tale from novels to comic books, artwork to animation, TV and now Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton and Walt Disney Pictures bring “John Carter” to life on the silver screen.

This story follows a former military captain, John Carter (played by Taylor Kitsch), who is sick of war, but then finds himself transported to a different world, set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). John Carter finds this new world on the brink of collapse, and during all of the chaos around him, he rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.

Like the other movies that Stanton has been part of, Disney/Pixar’s WALL-E (winner of an Academy Award and Golden Globe), and “Finding Nemo” (Academy Award winner), they follow characters who are “out of their element” and face challenges both good and bad during their journey.

“John Carter” is an epic adventure, filled with action, romance and political intrigue with an impressive cast led by Taylor Kitsch (NBC’S “Friday Night Lights”, “X‐Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, Lynn Collins (“50 First Dates,” “X‐Men Origins: Wolverine”) as the warrior princess Dejah Thoris and Oscar® nominee Willem Dafoe (“Spider‐Man,” “Shadow of the Vampire”) as Martian inhabitant Tars Tarkas.
