Disney has released a trailer for the upcoming Disney+ Original movie, “Sea Lions of the Galápagos”, which is the latest documentary from DisneyNature to celebrate Earth Day.

The film has been narrated by Brendan Fraser, the stunning feature film explores the fascinating world of the Galapagos alongside a host of creatures from land and sea.

In “Sea Lions of the Galápagos,” Leo eventually leaves his mother’s colony to find his own home following swimming lessons, fishing expeditions and some growing up. Male sea lions must fight to earn the best spots, and only the strongest will become beachmasters. Leo’s lifelong quest is fraught with challenges and filled with new encounters with an array of creatures, from marine iguanas and racer snakes to yellowfin tuna and huge Galapagos sharks. The archipelago is Leo’s playground—overland and underwater—but he must stay vigilant to find his place in the world.

Check out the “Sea Lions of the Galápagos” trailer below:

Disneynature’s “Sea Lions of the Galápagos” is directed by Wilson, co-directed by Keith Scholey, and produced by Wilson, Scholey and Roy Conli, the adventure features music by composer Raphaelle Thibaut.

To go along with the release of “Sea Lions of the Galápagos”, there will also be a behind-the-scenes documentary about how they made the film, which will be narrated by Blair Underwood.  

Disneynature’s “Guardians of the Galápagos” goes behind the scenes with the crew of “Sea Lions of theGalápagos” to showcase not just the production of a film, but the world that inspired it. In their quest to relay the story of a young sea lion pup named Leo, the Disneynature team battles seasickness, searing heat and extreme diving conditions. Their efforts, however, are rewarded, capturing rarely seen sea lion behaviors—from playful pups and surfing teenagers to adult bulls hunting gigantic yellowfin tuna. Global challenges threaten the archipelago, including invasive species, pollution, illegal fishing and increasingly frequent El Niño events. The film spotlights the growing community of champions—the true Guardians of the Galápagos —who work to protect the islands, supporting environmental campaigns, cleaning beaches, restoring corals and helping local children experience this magical place. Directed by Filer and produced by Filer, Keith Scholey, Hugh Wilson and Roy Conli,

The “Sea Lions of the Galápagos” Original Score Soundtrack composed by Raphaelle Thibaut will be available on digital streaming services on April 22nd 2025.
