Disney has released some first-look images from an upcoming Disney+ Original film from DisneyNature called ““Sea Lions of the Galapagos”.

Narrated by Brendan Fraser, Disneynature’s “Sea Lions of the Galapagos” dives underwater with Leo, a handsome sea lion pup, who’s learning how to navigate life alongside his mother, Luna.  Leo’s lifelong quest to find his place in the world is fraught with challenges and filled with new encounters with an array of creatures, from marine iguanas and racer snakes to yellow fin tuna and huge Galapagos sharks.

Following swimming lessons, fishing expeditions and some growing up, Leo eventually leaves his mother’s colony to find his own home—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 yellow fin 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 first-look images below:

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

The film’s director Hugh Wilson said in a statement regarding the new film:

“It was crucial for our story that Leo was an adventurer, and when the team encountered one particular pup, we knew we had our star.  Regularly supplied with lots of milk by his devoted mum, Luna, Leo was full of energy and keen to make his mark on the world. Full of character from day one, he was constantly up to no good—getting into sticky situations.

Working with Brendan was an honor, and he delivered a great performance with the narration.  He was able to convey a range of emotions from high-stakes drama and important factual content to intimate comedic moments. He was particularly strong in regard to the comedy—a crucial ingredient for Disneynature films—and it was great to see him really lean into those moments.”

To go along with the release of “Sea Lions of the Galapagos”, there will also be a behind-the-scenes film called “Guardians of the Galapagos” released on Disney+, which has been narrated by Blair Underwood.

Both films will be released on Disney+ on Earth Day on April 22nd, 2025.
