The days are getting closer to the release of Pixar’s 17th feature film, Finding Dory. Recently the studio released some stunning concept art that sheds some more light on Dory’s story of searching for her long-lost family. The fun images showcase Dory exploring the vast ocean, a more detailed look at Hank the octopus, a school of stingrays, and both an aerial view and inside look of the aquarium. Even when all of the characters are in a shot, there is a huge sense of isolation when they’re paired against the backgrounds; it’s amazing realizing just how small they are compared to the world around them. There’s also a sense of mystery and adventure to the art. What exactly is happening around the characters that initially sparked the concept art? What is lurking behind the corners of the aquarium? There is so much energy and movement to the pieces that make them worthy of hanging in museum.
What do you think of the concept art? Are you excited for Finding Dory? Let us know in the comments below!
