Priyanka Chopra Jonas will narrate Disneynature’s Tiger, which will launch on Disney+ this Earth Day, April 22, 2024—exactly 15 years after the label’s first release, Earth.
The compelling story 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. Scroll down to view the Tiger trailer and poster.
“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,” said Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
“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.”
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. The film combines fast-paced action with remarkably intimate moments.
Also streaming on Disney+ this Earth Day is a companion film to Tiger titled Tigers on the Rise. 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.
