‘Bears’ Debuts a New Trailer

Disneynature’s Bears will be celebrating Earth Day 2014 in theaters, with the studio donating to the National Park Foundation in honor of moviegoers who catch the film during its first week of theatrical release. “We can’t wait to share these bears’ fascinating behaviors and innate curiosity as they navigate a beautiful but challenging world,” explained Alan Bergman, president of The Walt Disney Studios. “We are committed to protecting the environment and inspiring Disneynature fans to take part in conservation by joining forces with organizations like the National Park Foundation to preserve the natural world.”

And although we’ve still got quite a few months before the film enters theaters, Disneynature’s just provided a new look at the documentary directed by Alastair Fothergill, Keith Scholey, and Adam Chapman.

The Plot:

In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure Bears showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting—but risky—as the cubs’ playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches.

As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food—ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run—while staying safe from rival male bears and predators, including an ever-present wolf pack.

Bears enters theaters on April 18, 2014.
