Revision as of 06:54, 21 June 2020

Disneynature is an independent film label of The Walt Disney Company, founded on April 21, 2008 as a division of The Walt Disney Studios. Its releases consist of a series of independent nature documentary films. Headquartered in Paris, it is the only Disney subsidiary not headquartered in the United States.

Background

Disney veteran Jean-Francois Camilleri, who has served as senior vice president and general manager for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures France is the head of the new unit. Disneynature is based in France, where Camilleri and his team oversees the initiation, development and acquisition of high quality feature projects.

The first film released domestically under the new label was the American version of Earth, from award-winning British producer/director Alastair Fothergill, whose credits include the landmark Planet Earth series for the BBC and The Discovery Channel and The Blue Planet. Earth, produced by BBC Worldwide and Greenlight Media and co-directed by Mark Linfield, was released in cinemas internationally in 2007. It premiered in the U.S. on Earth Day, April 22, 2009.

The first new production to be released by Disneynature was announced to be The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos. The world premiere of the film took place in Bordeaux, France on October 26, 2008, and was released internationally throughout 2009.

Disneynature was the official sponsor for the 2009 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. Footage from Disneynature films are also used in Rivers of Light at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
