Everyone loves a good Easter egg hunt. And who knows why this wasn't revealed on Good Friday heading into Easter last weekend. But as Disney Pixar's Finding Dory nears its summer release, filmmakers share a never-before-revelead hidden gem. And it revolves around one of America's oldest living actors! Yes, Finding Dory Character Hank the Septopus Has Been Pixar's Best-Kept Secret for Over 25 Years

Disney Pixar's Finding Dory filmmakers revealed today that Hank, the film's cantankerous octopus with camouflaging capabilities, has appeared in every one of their feature films since 1995's Toy Story. Finding Dory featuring, the voice of Ed O'Neill as Hank, opens in theaters nationwide on June 17, 2016. Ed O'Neill is best known as the cantankerous Al Bundy, starring the hit sitcom Married with Children for 11 seasons. And he can now be seen as the cantankerous Jay Pritchet in Modern Family, now airing in its 7th season. Said director Andrew Stanton, who also directed the 2003 Oscar®-winning film "Finding Nemo.

"Every Pixar fan knows that we love Easter Eggs. And until now, Hank has been our most closely guarded secret. There are even people internally at Pixar who don't know about this."

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. Continues said Stanton.

"Hank started off as a bit of an inside joke between those of us who were here at Pixar in the very beginning. 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."

The studio released a short video featuring Andrew Stanton and Ed O'Neill, showcasing several of Hank's cameos throughout the years and even providing a new glimpse of the character in action in Finding Dory. Disney Pixar's Finding Dory welcomes back to the big screen everyone's favorite forgetful blue tang Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres), who's living happily in the reef with Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks) and Nemo (voice of Hayden Rolence). When Dory suddenly remembers that she has a family out there who may be looking for her, the trio takes off on a life-changing adventure across the ocean to California's prestigious Marine Life Institute, a rehabilitation center and aquarium.

In an effort to find her mom (voice of Diane Keaton) and dad (voice of Eugene Levy), Dory enlists the help of three of the MLI's most intriguing residents: Hank (voice of Ed O'Neill), a cantankerous octopus who frequently gives employees the slip; Bailey (voice of Ty Burrell), a beluga whale who is convinced his biological sonar skills are on the fritz; and Destiny (voice of Kaitlin Olson), a nearsighted whale shark. Deftly navigating the complex inner workings of the MLI, Dory and her friends discover the magic within their flaws, friendships and family.

Directed by Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E), co-directed by Angus MacLane (Toy Story OF TERROR!), and produced by Lindsey Collins (co-producer "WALL•E"), Disney•Pixar's  "Finding Dory" swims into theaters June 17, 2016. You can meet Hank in the newly released video below. Did you notice Hank way back in 1995? Or do you feel like a fool having never noticed him until right this second?
