Disney Goes Green - Disneynature
[Edit]
[Edit]
Disney is joining the global awareness movement with the launch of Disneynature, a new film label that will cover nature and wildlife documentaries and special features relating to animals and the environment.
This is like the next gen Bambi, Dumbo and Simba, targeting all age groups, but mostly adults, specifically those who were intrigued by Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth.
“Our goal is to bring event films, as only nature can tell, to audiences around the world and for generations to come,” says Dick Cook, chairman of the Walt Disney Studios.
The new label will kick off with the release of big screen documentary next Earth Day, April 22, called “Earth” which is an adaptation of the BBC series Planet Earth. Disneynature hopes to release one movie each year following that.
That’s not so Mickey Mouse anymore now, is it?
"Nobody has spent so much time, ever, making a wildlife film," he said, adding that he has long felt confined by the medium of TV as a nature documentarian. "Cinema is the place that does justice to the natural world."
Other films in the Disneynature development slate include "Chimpanzee" and "Big Cats," both set in Africa and co-directed by Fothergill; a look at flamingos titled "The Crimson Wing"; the undersea exploration "Oceans," from French co-directors Jacques Perrin ("The Winged Migration") and Jacques Cluzaud; and a time-lapse spectacle of flowering plants, "Naked Beauty: A Love that Feeds the Earth."
