One specific trailer for <em>Finding Dory<\/em> featuring a new character, Destiny the whale shark (Kaitlin Olsen), revealed that Dory learned to speak whale from Destiny, and that what Marlin termed &#8220;upset stomach&#8221; was indeed authentic! So it was never a coincidence that the whale from the first film was able to decipher Dory&#8217;s bellows.<br \/>\nThis is what Andrew Stanton had to say about Dory and the upcoming film:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen <em>Finding Dory<\/em>\u00a0was just starting to come together, we realized we didn\u2019t know much about this blue tang with the sunny personality. Dory\u2019s past became the subject of great curiosity\u2014both for us as storytellers and for everyone who\u2019d fallen in love with her.<br \/>\n\u201cWe had very few clues to go on. We knew she\u2019d been separated from her family, we knew she suffered from short-term memory loss, we knew she could read, and <strong>we knew she could speak whale\u2014or at least she thought she could.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pixar, Walt Disney Animation, and the Disney Parks have declared June 11th &#8220;National Speak Like a Whale Day.&#8221; To celebrate, fans simply upload videos of themselves speaking whale and use the hashtag, #SpeakLikeAWhaleDay.
