Disney has announced details on the next major release from DisneyNature, called “Tiger”, which will launch on Disney+ this Earth Day, April 22nd 2024, 2024—exactly 15 years after the label’s first release, “Earth.”

In the film, the cubs—curious, rambunctious and at times a bit clumsy—have a lot to learn from their savvy mother, who will do all she can to keep them safe from pythons, bears and marauding male tigers. Directed by Mark Linfield, co-directed by Vanessa Berlowitz and Rob Sullivan, and produced by Linfield, Berlowitz and Roy Conli, “Tiger” is the groundbreaking culmination of 1,500 days of filming. Combining fast-paced action with remarkably intimate moments.

Disney has also announced that Priyanka Chopra Jonas will narrate the compelling story, which lifts the veil on our planet’s most revered and charismatic animal, inviting viewers to journey alongside Ambar, a young tigress raising her cubs in the fabled forests of India. She said in a statement:

“It’s just wonderful to be able to be a part of something so special and to tell the story of this magnificent animal that comes from my country—I was very honored. I have always loved tigers and I feel a kinship with the female tiger—I feel very protective of my family. Ambar’s journey is something I think every mom would really relate to.”

Disney has also announced that a companion documentary called “Tigers On The Rise”, will also be released on Disney+ the same day.

The documentary is narrated by Blair Underwood, the film celebrates the remarkable comeback of one of the world’s most iconic animals. Tiger populations have rebounded so successfully that many of the big cats are venturing from India’s forest reserves into farms and villages—a monumental challenge for both people and animals. The heroes in this story are the vets, scientists and community patrols dedicated to ensuring that tigers and people can coexist.

Disneynature’s “Tigers on the Rise” is directed by Rob Sullivan, co-directed by Alistair Tones, and produced by Sullivan, Vanessa Berlowitz, Mark Linfield and Roy Conli.

Both “Tiger” and “Tigers On The Rise” will be released on Disney+ on Earth Day, which is April 22nd, 2024.
