Celebrate a New Holiday -- World Septopus Day – In Honor of Hank #WorldSeptopusDay 1
FINDING DORY - HANK (voice of Ed O’Neill) is an octopus. Actually, he’s a “septopus”: he lost a tentacle—along with his sense of humor—somewhere along the way. But Hank is just as competent as his eight-armed peers. An accomplished escape artist with camouflaging capabilities to boot, Hank is the first to greet Dory when she finds herself in the Marine Life Institute. But make no mistake: he’s not looking for a friend. Hank is after one thing—a ticket on a transport truck to a cozy Cleveland facility where he’ll be able to enjoy a peaceful life of solitude. ©2016 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.

Hank, Dory’s seven-armed sidekick from “Finding Dory,” wins the day!

Celebrate a New Holiday -- World Septopus Day – In Honor of Hank #WorldSeptopusDay

On Oct. 8, cephalopod supporters around the globe will celebrate World Octopus Day, a day that recognizes the earth’s eight-armed sea creatures. But today, Friday, Oct. 7, Disney•Pixar is celebrating a new holiday — World Septopus Day – in honor of Hank, Dory’s curmudgeonly seven-armed wingman from the summer blockbuster “Finding Dory.”

Hank may have lost a tentacle (and his sense of humor) somewhere along the way, but now he’s gained a special day all to himself … just the way he likes it.

 

Join in the celebration (#worldseptopusday) and get to know this cranky and comedic character through a new World Septopus Day video starring Ed O’Neill (the voice of Hank) and a list of Hank’s Seven Favorite Hobbies.
