HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Two new characters to share in Dory's adventures in the upcoming Pixar film Finding Dory have been revealed.

Concept art of Bailey, described by Entertainment Weekly as a "snub-nosed beluga whale" and Destiny, a whale shark who struggles with swimming straight, were revealed by the outlet Wednesday.

While protagonist Dory will be voiced again by talk show host and Finding Nemo star Ellen DeGeneres, Modern Family actor Ty Burrell and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actress Kaitlin Olson will lend their voices to the brand new fish.

"My character isn't great at his own sonar capability, and Destiny has trouble swimming straight," Burrell told Entertainment Tonight.

"We totally get on each other's nerves," Olson said of their characters. "I like to think I'm a shark, but Bailey calls me a whale, and I make fun of his head, because it's gigantic."

The first trailer for Pixar's Finding Dory was released in early November and featured DeGeneres' character as well as the return of clownfish Marlin, played by Albert Brooks, and his son Nemo, played by Hayden Rolence.

The story takes place six months after the events of 2003's Finding Nemo and will see the three travel to California in search of Dory's family.

Finding Nemo earned over $936 million at the box office, and is the second-highest-earning 'G'-rated film of all time. The highly-anticipated Finding Dory opens in theaters June 17, 2016, and is helmed by Nemo director Andrew Stanton.
