DISNEYNATURE’S “ORANGUTAN” PREMIERES ON DISNEY+ APRIL 22

Narrated by Josh Gad and debuting exclusively on Disney+ this Earth Day, April 22, the film follows the inquisitive adolescent orangutan Indah as she leaves the nest for the first time and embarks on an extraordinary journey of courage, family, and belonging. The film’s global release on Disney+ is part of The Walt Disney Company’s Earth Month festivities, inviting audiences to experience the wonders of our planet.

​In celebration of “Orangutan,” the Disney Conservation Fund is supporting Wildlife Asia and their partner, Leuser Conservation Forum, to protect Sumatran orangutans, elephants and tigers across more than 5 million acres of forest habitat—and to help rebuild the Ketambe Research Center and support rangers impacted by catastrophic flooding. This center and teams were critical to the making of “Orangutan,” offering filmmakers support and guidance almost every day while in the field.
 
Disneynature’s “Orangutan” takes viewers high in the treetops of the world’s most majestic rainforest canopy in Southeast Asia, where a magnificent and mysterious community filled with playful personalities lives. “Orangutan” is directed by Mark Linfield, co-directed by Vanessa Berlowitz, and produced by Linfield, Berlowitz and Roy Conli, with original music by Nitin Sawhney. Featuring exhilarating action, heartwarming encounters, and a close-up look at a stunning jungle teeming with wildlife, the all-new original film releases on Earth Day, April 22, 2026, exclusively on Disney+.
 
Additionally, viewers can step into the wild this Earth Month by streaming the entire Disneynature Collection on Disney+, discovering awe-inspiring animal stories in films like “Sea Lions of the Galapagos,” “Tiger,” “Polar Bear,” “Elephant,” “Penguins” and other breathtaking documentaries
