Attention all nature and animal lovers! For Earth Month, Disney+ had released three of its Disneynature films. Each of them is beautifully and masterfully done and tells inspiring stories that are seen through the eyes of some of the planet’s most beloved creatures. You’ll witness the many struggles and challenges that they face simply to survive another day, as well as seeing them at play. Here’s a little about each film and what you can expect.
Elephants
Come join Shani, an African elephant and her son Jomo, as they journey with their herd across hundreds of miles of Kalahari Desert. This same epic journey from the Okavango Delta to the Zambezi River that they must undertake, has been ventured by their ancestors for countless generations before. The film is narrated by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
Penguins
Disneynature’s “Penguins” is about an Adelie penguin named Steve that embarks on an epic life journey throughout Antarctica. Surrounded by millions of other male penguins, Steve must build a presentable nest, find a life mate and begin a family while facing many challenges including being confronted by leopard seals and killer whales. This film is brought to you by the same filmmaking team that created Disneynature’s “Bears” and “Chimpanzee.”
