Disneynature’s “Orangutan” Debuts On Disney+ This Earth Day, 22 April
First-look images for Disneynature’s all-new upcoming feature film Orangutan. Narrated by Josh Gad and debuting on Disney+ this Earth Day, 22 April, the immersive feature introduces Indah, an inquisitive adolescent orangutan learning how to navigate life as she prepares to leave her family and venture out on her own for the first time.
Director Mark Linfield said,
“After directing wildlife shows all over the world for the past 30 years, I can honestly say orangutans are my absolute favourite animal! 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.”
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 Orangutan releases on Earth Day, 22 April, 2026, exclusively on Disney+.
