We have been missing HANK on screen for over 20 years?

The studio released a short video on Friday featuring “Finding Nemo” director Andrew Stanton and actor Ed O’Neill, showcasing several of Hank’s cameos throughout the years that we have all been fooled by. ( But I still can’t see them even with the arrows! )

Pixar is known for the hidden gems that appear in its feature films, including the Luxo Ball, the Pizza Planet Truck and A113, which is a nod to the animation classroom at CalArts, where several filmmakers attended. But the octopus—who’s actually a “septopus,” as he’s missing a tentacle—has remained a secret for two decades. “Hank started off as a bit of an inside joke between those of us who were here at Pixar in the very beginning,“ said Stanton. “But since then, finding a place for him in our films has become part of our culture, and I’m glad we finally get to introduce him properly to fans.”

Did I mention that this story came out on Friday April 1st????

“Finding Dory,” will feature the voice of Ed O’Neill as Hank, so this whole thing was just a big practical joke to promote the upcoming movie. Ya got me!

The film features the voices of Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill, Kaitlin Olson, Ty Burrell, Eugene Levy and Diane Keaton. “Finding Dory” swims into theaters June 17, 2016.

Can’t wait!
