WATCH: New ‘Finding Dory’ trailer shows a glimpse of Dory’s origins

Disney released a new trailer for everyone’s favorite forgetful fish, Dory, which featured never before seen footage of the character’s mysterious back story.

As seen in a two-and-a-half minute clip, the film’s sequel revolves around the titular character’s quest to find her long lost parents.

In a classic turn of events, Marlin, along with his son Nemo, are the ones to accompany the digital “Blue Tang’ fish, as she embarks on her journey.

The trio was seen uncovering their path, up until Dory gets tangled in plastic rings by humans and gets forcefully separated from her buddies.

Apart from the humor-filled action, the trailer also gives a sneak peek into the film’s new characters—including Hank the septopus, sea lions Fluke and Rudder, Bailey the beluga whale, Destiny the whale shark, and even Nemo’s new friend, Becky.

Despite the movie’s comedic vibe, the latter part of the trailer showed a tear-jerking scene, when an uncertain Nemo asks his father “Does this mean we have to say goodbye to Dory?”

‘‘Finding Dory’s” predecessor, ”Finding Nemo,” received universal acclaim in 2003, and is still regarded as the second highest-grossing film of 2003, only behind ‘The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’.

Dory will swim back to cinemas on June 17. Khristian Ibarrola
