Tomorrow, April 22 is Earth Day. Last year on this day, Disney released a movie titled "Earth" which paid homage towards wildlife across the globe. This year they have done it once again however, focused their efforts upon the ocean. The film titled "Oceans" explores five of the Earth's oceans and the wide variety of life which inhabit these ecosystems. Extensive effort has be invested towards this film; over the past seven years the directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud have gathered footage of truly amazing marine life. For example, it took 28 weeks before footage of a blue whale was captured on film. The duo has previous experience working together on the Oscar nominated documentary "Winged Migration. The main message of this film is to educate viewers of the amazing yet fragile life which inhabit the ocean. To promote preservation, a portion of ticket sales will be donated towards coral reef rehabilitation.

The trailer was amazing. I would really like to go and see it opening week, so they can donate to saving the coral reefs. I think it is very cool that Disney is making nature videos. Since Disney makes so many popular movies I hope they are able to donate a lot to saving the coral reefs and other marine organisms.
