Disneynature’s “Orangutan” Coming to Disney+ This Earth Day. There’s something truly magical about stepping into the wild through a Disneynature film—and this Earth Day, Disney is bringing us closer than ever to one of the rainforest’s most fascinating animals.
Disneynature’s all-new film “Orangutan” is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ on April 22, 2026, and it promises a breathtaking journey high above the jungle floor.
A Story of Growth, Adventure, and Survival
At the heart of the film is Indah, a curious and adventurous young orangutan learning what it takes to survive in the wild. As she grows, she faces one of life’s biggest milestones—leaving her family behind to forge her own path.
Set in the lush treetops of Southeast Asia, the film captures the beauty and complexity of life in the rainforest canopy. From playful moments to intense challenges, Indah’s journey is both emotional and inspiring, giving viewers a rare glimpse into the daily life of these incredible animals.
Narrated by a Familiar Voice
Adding even more charm to the experience, the film is narrated by Josh Gad, whose warm and engaging storytelling helps bring Indah’s world to life. His narration strikes the perfect balance between heart, humor, and wonder—making this a great watch for families and nature lovers alike.
The Team Behind the Magic
“Orangutan” is directed by Mark Linfield and co-directed by Vanessa Berlowitz, with production by Linfield, Berlowitz, and Roy Conli. The film’s original score, composed by Nitin Sawhney, adds another layer of emotion and depth to the storytelling.
With this experienced team behind the scenes, viewers can expect stunning cinematography, powerful storytelling, and those signature Disneynature moments that stay with you long after the credits roll.
A Celebration of Earth Day
Releasing on Earth Day makes “Orangutan” even more meaningful. The film not only entertains but also highlights the importance of protecting these incredible creatures and their natural habitats.
Through Indah’s story, audiences will gain a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of life in the rainforest—and why conservation efforts matter now more than ever.
