The forgetful, blue reef fish, Dory, was undeniably one of the breakout stars of "Finding Nemo." It's been thirteen years since Nemo has been found and Dory is finally getting her own movie. And from the look of things, SeaWorld should prepare itself.

Ellen DeGeneres will once again be bringing the lovable fish to life in "Finding Dory," the highly anticipated sequel to the Disney-Pixar classic, "Finding Nemo." There have been reports that the movie will be taking a jab at SeaWorld and its treatment of captured animals and the "Ellen" star has more or less confirmed it.

In a recent interview, the 57-year-old DeGeneres revealed that "Finding Dory" has some important things to say about keeping fish in captivity, either as pets or for entertainment.

The success of "Finding Nemo" resulted in a deluge of people suddenly adopting clownfishes and blue tang fishes as pets. But the voice behind Dory believes that "fish should be in the ocean," adding that the sequel is about "rehabilitation and putting them back in the ocean."

"Finding Dory" is said to take place at the Marne Biology Institute of California. The rehab facility for marine life is where Dory was born before she was set free in the ocean. The stand-up comedienne says the movie is about Dory's search for her parents.

"She realizes [she] has parents - and comes across some characters who are somewhat helpful," says DeGeneres.

Some of those characters are a kind whale-shark and a grumpy octopus. Nemo and his dad will also be along for the adventure.

DeGeneres has big hopes for the movie, especially in terms of raising awareness about the ocean environment.

"We have to protect our oceans," the star declared. "Hopefully that discussion starts with this film, because we really need to protect that environment."

"Finding Dory" is in a unique place, being the first family film to attempt discussion on this topic. But it's not the first film to touch on the lives of captive aquatic animals.

The 2013 documentary "Blackfish," which revolved around the orca Tilikum, made the general public take a closer look at how SeaWorld treated the captive orcas it uses for its shows. The documentary was actually the reason why the release date for "Finding Dory" was pushed back as the writers changed the script after seeing the groundbreaking documentary.

"Finding Dory" is slated to reach theaters on June 17, 2016.
