Disney+ Celebrates Earth Month with Elephant, Dolphin Reef

April is Earth Month and to honor this, Disney+ will be premiering two of its latest Disneynature films, Elephant, narrated by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, and Dolphin Reef, narrated by Academy Award-winner Natalie Portman. Both films will debut on the streaming service on April 3.

According to a report by Collider, Disney+ will also be releasing specials with the behind-the-scenes process for the two films, In the Footsteps of Elephant, A Life on the Edge and Diving with Dolphins. 

The Earth Month collection on Disney+ will also include many wonderful animal and nature titles such as National Geographic’s America’s National Parks, Wild Yellowstone, The Flood, JANE, Before the Floods, Planet of the Birds, Sea of Hope: America’s Underwater Treasures, Kingdom of the White Wolf, Tree Climbing Lions, Hostile Planet and Wild Russia.

Here is the official synopsis of Elephant:

“Directed by Mark Linfield, co-directed by Vanessa Berlowitzand Alastair Fothergill, and produced by Linfield, Berlowitz and Roy Conli, Elephant follows African elephant Shani and her spirited son Jomo as their herd make an epic journey hundreds of miles across the vast Kalahari Desert. Led by their great matriarch, Gaia, the family faces brutal heat, dwindling resources and persistent predators, as they follow in their ancestor’s footsteps on a quest to reach a lush, green paradise.

Beyond premiering the film, Disneynature and the Disney Conservation Fund are supporting Elephants Without Borders, an organization working in Botswana to ensure people and elephants thrive.  Elephants Without Borders is working on strategies to protect Botswana’s elephant haven, helping to reduce human-wildlife conflict through education, economic development, and solutions that either redirect elephant migration away from people, or provide communities with tools that help to protect themselves and their properties when elephants are nearby.”

Here is the official description of Dolphin Reef:

“Created with Disneynature’s signature storytelling style, the film introduces Echo, a young Pacific bottlenose dolphin who can’t quite decide if it’s time to grow up and take on new responsibilities. Dolphin society is tricky, and the coral reef that Echo and his family call home depends on all of its inhabitants to keep it healthy. But Echo has a tough time resisting the many adventures the ocean has to offer. Keith Scholey, who directed Disneynature’s Bears, helms the film.”
