One difference that has been noticed between the limited information now available about Finding Dory and the original is that the new film has a PG rating for its “mild thematic elements”, while Finding Nemo was rated “G for general audiences” back in 2003.

On June 17, “Finding Dory”, the anticipated sequel to the aforementioned movie, is set to hit theaters.
“What most people don’t realise is that about 90% of marine fish found in aquarium shops come from the wild”, said Saving Nemo project coordinator Carmen da Silva. There are no captive breeding programs.
The first featurette for Finding Dory, the next film from Disney/Pixar, was released online Wednesday.
Significantly higher than average sea temperatures caused the bleaching event, which affected 843 out of the 911 reefs observed. The sole emphasis on the fish and octopus in each of the one-sheets seems to suggest that they will strike up a unique relationship in the latest Pixar effort.
And in places such as Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, the tropical fish are poached using low concentrations of cyanide poisoning to knock them out.
Despite her terrible memory, Dory, based on a royal blue tang and voiced over by comedian Ellen DeGeneres, gives some seriously good life advice that’s packaged in brilliant comedic timing.
So the researchers at Queensland and Flinders University have launched a #fishkiss4nemo campaign, where they’re calling on folks to pucker up and post fish-face selfies on social media before challenging three friends to do the same.
“They even show the section of the film where the child is torturing the clown fish in the dentist’s office”. The Australian researchers believe that that Finding Dory’s producers should encourage audiences to help conserve the blue tang population, however whether those behind the scenes will take this advice on board remains to be seen.
Now they’re anxious that the same thing will happen to the blue tang fish when “Finding Dory” comes out. The yellow tang young were some of the tiniest fish anyone had ever worked with, so finding ways to feed them became a multi-part problem that needed a multi-step solution.
“We are not trying to discourage them as pets”, she says.
Maybe “Blackfish” awoke a new kind of sensibility in me, but I personally can’t justify all of this harm for a fish (no matter how small) to swim circles in an artificial tank just because it looks nice.

Besides asking whether any fish you’re buying for pets have been taken from the wild, there are other ways you and your kids can get involved in actually saving Dory and Nemo for reals.
