Feature film is included in the back to school $6 admission offer

(New Orleans, La.) - When Dory said "just keep swimming" in 2003's Oscar®-winning film "Finding Nemo," she could not have imagined what was in store for her. Ellen DeGeneres, voice of the friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, is back in Disney-Pixar's "Finding Dory" - a big-screen adventure diving into Entergy Giant Screen Theater beginning on Friday, August 19. The feature film is included in the Theater's back to school $6 admission offer that runs through September 30.

"Finding Dory" takes place about a year after the first film, and features returning favorites Marlin, Nemo and the Tank Gang, among others. Set, in part, along the California coastline, the story also welcomes a host of new characters, including a few who will prove to be a very important part of Dory's life.

"It's amazing to me that Dory has resonated with people so much," said DeGeneres. "Dory was such a big part of ‘Finding Nemo' that it makes sense that people might wonder about her journey. We want to see how it worked out for her. Are Marlin and Nemo her family now? Does she have a family and will she ever remember them?"

Along with DeGeneres, "Finding Dory" features an all-star voice cast, featuring Albert Brooks ("This is 40"); Ed O'Neill ("Modern Family") who lends his voice to "septopus" Hank; Kaitlin Olson ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") who voices whale shark Destiny; and Ty Burrell ("Modern Family") who gives voice to beluga whale Bailey. Portraying Dory's parents Charlie and Jenny are Eugene Levy ("Schitt's Creek") and Diane Keaton ("Love the Coopers"). And 12-year-old Hayden Rolence ("Beta Persei") steps in to help bring Nemo to life.

Directed by Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo," "WALL-E"), co-directed by Angus MacLane ("Toy Story OF TERROR!"), and produced by Lindsey Collins (co-producer "WALL-E"), Disney-Pixar's "Finding Dory" swims into Entergy Giant Screen Theater on Friday, August 19, 2016.
