Finding Nemo Deserves A Trilogy

Finding Nemo received a much deserved sequel, Finding Dory, after many years of public pleas by Dory’s voice-actor, Ellen DeGeneres. It’s a fitting sequel for the fish that was separated from her parents. The franchise has done well to illustrate being physically and mentally lost. But there’s another character who’s experienced being lost in a different way. With Nemo and Dory’s lost stories told, it’s time for Marlin to lead the next sequel and complete the trilogy. He still has a good deal of growth to undergo and his past trauma with grief has yet to be resolved. Focusing on another one of Pixar’s most iconic characters, a Marlin sequel could both wrap up his story, as well as Dory’s and Nemo’s in their search for independence.
