Disneynature to Explore Alaska’s Grizzly Bears
I love bears. And it doesn’t get much more wild than Alaska! I was thrilled to hear this latest announcement: Disneynature’s next film will be about Grizzly Bears!
Here’s the Press Release Scoop:
The future looks wild, as the Walt Disney Studio’s Disneynature label unveils its new film slated for the big screen in Spring 2014.
Disneynature’s 2014 motion picture “Bears” cozies up to the brown bears who call Alaska’s stunning coastal mountains and shores their home, revealing through tender moments and entertaining imagery how these animals are far from grizzly creatures. This shooting location provides some of the most spectacular visuals ever for a Disneynature film.
“Our commitment to the production of Disneynature films is to capture nature on its own terms and its own schedule. These films are never rushed so that we can tell never-before-seen stories in our natural world that both astound and charm audiences,” said Alan Bergman, president, The Walt Disney Studios. “Disneynature’s next adventure ‘Bears’ promises to continue this storytelling tradition by introducing audiences to a phenomenal variety of wildlife and offering rare glimpses into the day-to-day lives of these incredible animals.”
“Bears” is currently in production in Alaska’s Katmai National Park.
The first four Disneynature films, “Earth,” “Oceans,” “African Cats” and “Chimpanzee,” are four of the top five highest overall grossing feature-length nature films to date.
Disneynature Helps Our Earth
I love that Disneynature films have the goal of empowering the audience to help make a difference.
Through donations tied to opening-week attendance for all four films, Disneynature, through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, has:
- Planted three million trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest
- Established 40,000 acres of marine protected area in The Bahamas
- Protected 65,000 acres of savanna in Kenya
- Protected 129,236 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat
- Educated 60,000 school children about chimpanzee conservation, and
- Cared for chimpanzees
