Disneynature’s Orangutan to Bow on Earth Day

The new Disneynature feature film Orangutan, narrated by Josh Gad, is slated to debut on Disney+ on Earth Day, April 22.

“After directing wildlife shows all over the world for the past 30 years, I can honestly say orangutans are my absolute favorite animal,” said director Mark Linfield. “They’re gentle, funny, smart and always surprising. Josh Gad’s narration has really captured their spirit, and the camera team managed to film a whole new side of their lives that viewers won’t have seen before. I can’t wait for people to watch this one.”

The film takes viewers into the treetops of the rainforest canopy of Southeast Asia, where orangutan communities filled with playful personalities live.

Orangutan is co-directed by Vanessa Berlowitz. Linfield, Berlowitz and Roy Conli serve as producers. Original music is by Nitin Sawhney.
