Earth (Disney Nature Film)

Arriving next Earth Day (April 22, 2009), this film launches the new Disneynature production banner that harks back to Walt's True Life Adventures line. Looking at a year in the lives of various creatures, this documentary employs footage shot for the BBC's award-winning "Planet Earth" series by writer-producer Alastair Fothergill. Voiceover god James Earl Jones was originally tapped to narrate, but that slot seems now to have been filled by Patrick Stewart. While Disney shouldn't expect much hubbub from such niche market fare, the brand already has half a dozen other projects in the works, including The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos (opening December 2008 in France), Orangutans (2010), and the much-anticipated Big Cats (2011).

Here's the trailer of it:
