Disney is like a mammoth Banyan tree that has uncountable branches. Be it Marvel, LucasFilm or so many more, Disney keeps us entertained. One aspect of it is Disneynature.
It is bringing us a special treat this Earth Day, April 22, 2024, with their new documentary called “Tiger”.
In “Tiger,” we’ll get to follow the story of Ambar, a young tiger mom living in the forests of India. She’s raising her playful cubs while facing dangers like pythons, bears, and other tigers.
That is indeed the best part of the documentary but you know what adds the much needed spice?
Priyanka Chopra Jonas will be our guide through this exciting adventure, sharing Ambar’s journey with us. How cool is that?
Directed by Mark Linfield, along with Vanessa Berlowitz and Rob Sullivan, the filmmakers spent about 1,500 days capturing the tigers’ lives on camera. From thrilling chases to tender moments with her cubs, we’ll see it all.
But that’s not all! Alongside “Tiger,” there’s another film called “Tigers on the Rise,” narrated by Blair Underwood. This one tells us about the comeback of tigers in the wild. Because of the hard work of vets, scientists, and community patrols, tiger numbers are going up. Needless to say there are some huge challenges. Prime Video’s highly recommended series Poacher shed light on the poaching of Elephants, but it is also true for Tigers and most other animals in the wild.
But the rise in numbers also means they’re venturing out of their usual homes and into villages, which can be tricky for both tigers and people.
Let’s see what Disney+ and Priyanka Chopra offer us.
