There is hardly any information about Disneynature’s Tiger movie. The trailer says most of what you need to know, but even that is not posted here, thanks to YouTube. The production went to India’s jungles and filmed tigers. Disney produces these films under the Disneynature banner to educate the world about nature.
Don Hahn, an executive producer of Earth and the subsequent Oceans and African Cats, noted that these documentaries take 5 years to make. “I think what’s encouraging to me and what’s fun for me is to take it on one-on-one. For example, now I’m at Disneyland actually doing this interview and I just walked out of a screening full of school kids. There were probably 400 school kids in this theater watching Oceans, and each one of them will take home a piece from that movie: a memory, a sense of responsibility, a sense of awe or wonderment at it. I think that a one-on-one relationship with a filmmaker and an audience, or an adult and a child, or a teacher and a student, is really crucial and important to changing our mindset.”
Hahn spoke about the environment viewed as a complete entity, which can come across as intimidating and overwhelming. Showing this movie to schoolchildren is an excellent way to spread positive environmental messages.
