'Find Dory' Plot Spoilers, News: Hayden Rolence to Voice Nemo
"Finding Dory" has found its voice for Nemo.
After a number of casting sessions it was announced that Hayden Rolence, 11, will voice the role of Nemo. The sixth-grader from Aurora will voice the iconic character, which first appeared in "Finding Nemo."
Rolence is in sixth grade at a Middle School in Aurora and was only 9 years old when he was chosen for the part. For contractual reasons, the family and boy were not allowed to say anything about the casting of the film. According to the Indian Prairie School Board President Lori Price, who spoke to the Chicago Tribune, "He and his family were unable to share the exciting news with anyone for two years."
Disney has been very secretive with "Finding Dory" but it is widely known that Ellen DeGeneres, Eugene Levy, Albert Brooks, Diane Keaton and Ed O'Neill will voice the film. Plot details are still unknown.
For "Finding Nemo," Alexander Gould voiced Nemo but, after nearly 12 years, Gould has outgrown the voice. After "Nemo," Gould has gone on to star in the Golden Globe-winning TV show "Weeds."
Pixar and Disney have been busy this year with the release of "Inside Out" and the upcoming "The Good Dinosaur."
"Inside Out" scored rave reviews and is being heralded as the front runner to win the Academy Award for Best Animated film. The movie was also brought to the Cannes Film Festival where it scored rave reviews. The movie also became a huge hit making over $352 million.
In November the company will release "The Good Dinosaur" hoping to continue Pixar's resurgence. After "Finding Dory," Pixar and Disney have a number of planned films including a third installment to "Cars" and a fourth "Toy Story."
"Finding Dory" is set to release on June 17, 2016.
