Stories & Experiences
At The Walt Disney Company, we believe that building a brighter, more sustainable future starts with imagining what’s possible. And that storytelling has the power to make a world of difference. For nearly a century, Disney has found inspiration in the wonders of the world we all share. As we imagine a world in balance, we’re focused on creating stories and experiences that inspire connection with our planet and all who call it home.
Disneynature
For more than ten years, Disneynature films have featured some of the most remarkable stories in nature, presenting an eloquent case for greater understanding and support of nature and the planet we share. Like all Disney’s conservation efforts, the underlying philosophy is that promoting a love of and connection to wildlife is the best way to ensure current and future generations seek its preservation.

National Geographic
National Geographic has been igniting the explorer in all of us for 133 years through groundbreaking storytelling from the best and brightest scientists, explorers, photographers, and filmmakers in the world. Disney’s unique partnership with the National Geographic Society creates a virtuous cycle of storytelling and exploration that inspires people to act, enlightens their perspective, and often provides the spark to new ideas and innovation.
The stories we tell, and the ways in which we tell them, can help us all to imagine a brighter future, find new solutions, and encourage action, so that together we can write the next chapter for our planet. Here are just a few recent examples.
