Disney's D23 Expo has kicked off in Anaheim, California, by unveiling the secrets of its upcoming films.

Chief creative officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, John Lasseter,says the D23 expo is for the fans.

"Well the D23 Expo is a chance for all of us at Disney and Pixar to give back to our fans and boy do we have amazing fans. We just did the animation presentation, 7800 people in this gigantic hall and for about two and a half hours or something like that we pitched all the upcoming films from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios."

Stars including Dwayne Johnson, Ellen DeGeneres, and Ed O'Neil have shown up at the Expo to promote their upcoming animated films.

One of the big news announced during the Expo is that "Finding Dory" the sequel to Finding Nemo will make a come back 13 years after the original hit movie screens.

The director of the film, Andrew Stanton, explains why this has taken such a long time.

"Well basically I thought Nemo was done and had no intentions for a sequel. Probably about six or seven years later I was sitting around thinking you know what I actually think if she got lost off the reef she might not find it again and I still don't know where she came from and I know Marlin found her when she was lost and so it started to really bug me that that had not been resolved and so that made me go I think there's one story left to tell with this movie so that was it."

D23, which is in its fourth edition, runs through Sunday.
