Disneynature was launched on Earth Day in 2008. It’s mission was to bring the top nature filmmakers together to develop amazing wildlife stories for the big screen. The first four films Earth, Oceans, African Cats, and Chimpanzee were four of the top grossing nature films to date.
Disney has always been a huge supporter of conservation, in the creation of Walt Disney World, around 8,700 acres (nearly one-third of Walt Disney World’s property) has been set
aside as a dedicated wildlife conservation area.
The next time you are at the Animal Kingdom, be sure to donate and become a Conservation Hero. Through donations tied to opening week attendance of these Disneynature films Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund has:
- Planted over three million trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest
- Established 40,000 acres of marine protected area in the Bahamas
- Educated 60,000 children about chimpanzee conservation and cared for chimpanzees
- Protected 65,000 acres of savanna in Kenya
- Protected 130,000 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat

Are you ready?? We can’t wait! Maleficent opens May 30th. What is the truth? Here is another great trailer for your viewing pleasure……
“Maleficent” explores the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the classic “Sleeping Beauty” and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she presides, Maleficent cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king’s newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever.
The film stars Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, Sharlto Copley, Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.

Just shows you that inspiration can come from anywhere. What are you inspired by?
