On April 21, 2008, Disney announced a new production banner, known as Disneynature. Under this banner, Disney releases nature documentaries, which began with the release of Earth on Earth Day, 2009. Other nature documentaries released were African Cats: Kingdom of Courage, The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos, Oceans, Orangutans: One Minute to Midnight, Naked Beauty: A Love Story that Feeds the Earth, and Chimpanzee.
The banner is headquartered in Paris, France, and headed up by Jean-Francois Camilleri, formerly the senior vice president for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures France. Disneynature can trace its roots back to Disney’s award-winning True-Life Adventures from the late ’40s to the ’60s, and has received many positive reviews for the films it has released.
