Nemo's forgetful friend Dory takes the spotlight in the follow up to the 2003 hit "Finding Nemo" as she goes on a quest to learn more about her origins and her family.

To the delight of Pixar fans, the first official trailer of "Finding Dory" has been unveiled exclusively via "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday. The exclusive release through the talk show was unsurprising considering the voice behind the charismatic blue tang is the show's host herself.

"The trailer opens with Dory sleeping - and snoring - in her home among the clown fishes, with Nemo and his dad Marlin sleeping nearby," MailOnline noted. "Dory starts talking in her sleep, saying: 'Don't cry, mommy. Don't cry!'"

This woke up Nemo, who went and looked for her after not finding her in her usual spot. He finds Dory was "sleep swimming," and told his dad about it. After being reassured by Marlin, they turn to find her gone again.

And off they go on another adventure!

The next scene shows Dory and the other fishes, as well as Nemo and his dad, discussing something.

"My family, they're out there somewhere," Dory exclaimed in remembrance. "I have to find them."

The rest of the trailer doesn't reveal much, but it pretty much made viewers understand that Dory is still as forgetful as ever, despite the glimmer of remembrance of her family, and that Nemo remains as lovable as last remembered.

Despite the fact that the original actor who provided Nemo's voice, Alexander Gould, has been replaced due to his voice deepening, the new voice actor, Hayden Rolence, sounds very similar to Gould back in 2003.

"The movie will be mostly set at the California Marine Biology Institute, a huge complex of sea life rehabilitation and aquarium, where Dory was born and raised," Pixar boss Jim Morris previously announced, as quoted by Comingsoon.net. "We will get to meet new characters, like an octopus, sea lions, a beluga whale, among others."

"The movie will also feature the voices of Willem Dafoe, Ed O'Neill, Diane Keaton and Idris Elba, among others," Rolling Stone also said, noting that Albert Brooks returned to reprise his role as Marlin.

The original movie earned $936 million worldwide, as noted by The Guardian. Will the sequel outearn its predecessor when it arrives on June 17, 2016 in US theaters?

One thing is for sure - those who still can't get enough of Nemo will get to enjoy watching him come alive on the big screen again.
