Disneynature Film Provides Arctic Inspiration

As the only nonprofit with a sole focus on polar bears and their sea ice home, Polar Bears International is excited to team up with Disneynature on their new film.

“Polar Bear” tells the story of a mother bear whose memories of her own youth illustrate the increasing challenges of survival in a warming Arctic.

Tune in for the April 22nd Earth Day premiere of "Polar Bear", only on Disney+.
