Watch: How Pixar Created FINDING DORY's Hank, The Studio's Most Complex Character So Far

In this video from CNET, Finding Dory character supervisor Jeremie Talbot explains just some of the painstaking work that Pixar animators and researchers put into creating Hank the octopus (actually, he's missing an arm, so he's a septopus), which is the most complex character the studio has created so far. This is a shortened version of the presentation I saw at an early press day for the movie (read much more about that here), and it's the kind of thing I'm always bummed I'm not able to show you guys because it's always better to see it with your own eyes instead of reading someone's description of it. Thanks to CNET for bridging the gap.

Finding Dory is getting some pretty solid early buzz from its earliest reviews. I'm seeing it this weekend, so we should have our own review for you on the site sometime next week. The film hits theaters on June 17, 2016.
