SeaWorld better buckle up, because more criticism is coming its way. But this time, the film won't be about a "Blackfish," but rather a blue, family-friendly animated fish named Dory. "Finding Dory" is the anticipated sequel to Disney-Pixar's 2003 "Finding Nemo." In a recent interview with Yahoo! Movies, the film's star, Ellen DeGeneres, confirmed that this film has something important to say about fish in captivity.

"I think that fish should be in the ocean," she said, "which is what this whole sequel is about: rehabilitation and putting them back in the ocean ... And we have to protect our oceans." DeGeneres hopes that this film will start a discussion about these important issues. While "Finding Dory" may be the first family film to discuss such topics, it certainly won't be the first film to bring attention to aquatic animals in captivity.
