\"\"<\/a>Since joining the studio in 1997, MacLane has gradually risen through the ranks at Pixar. After making his directorial debut with BURN<\/span>\u00b7E<\/em>, he went on to direct the Toy Story<\/em> short Small Fry<\/em> and last year\u2019s Toy Story of Terror<\/em>. Going by Stanton\u2019s tweet, Finding Dory <\/em>will be his first feature-length film as co-director. MacLane seems to be a smart choice for the role, given his experience at the studio.
\nMacLane has also made a name for himself outside of Pixar through his unique LEGO<\/span> creations. You can see hundreds of his projects \u2013 including the one<\/a> shared by Stanton \u2013 on his Flickr page<\/a>.
\nFinding Dory<\/em> is scheduled for release on June 17, 2016.
