In celebration of today — the first day of winter — Disneynature released a teaser poster for their upcoming PENGUINS nature flick coming to theaters in time for Earth Day next year.
This marks the EIGTH theatrical release for Disneynature (the first new Disney-branded film label from The Walt Disney Studios in more than 60 years). The label was launched in April 2008 to bring the world’s top nature filmmakers together to capture a variety of wildlife subjects and stories.
Disneynature’s first seven theatrical releases, “Earth,” “Oceans,” “African Cats,” “Chimpanzee,” “Bears,” “Monkey Kingdom” and “Born in China,” are seven of the top eight highest grossing feature-length nature films to date, with “Chimpanzee” garnering a record-breaking opening weekend for the genre.
Disneynature’s all-new feature film PENGUINS is a coming-of-age story about an Adélie penguin named Steve who joins millions of fellow males in the icy Antarctic spring on a quest to build a suitable nest, find a life partner and start a family. None of it comes easily for him, especially considering he’s targeted by everything from killer whales to leopard seals, who unapologetically threaten his happily ever after.
PENGUINS waddle into theaters April 17, 2019.
