Spring is in the air—literally—as Disneynature prepares to unveil “Wings of Life,” a spectacular, closer-than-close, high-definition look at the intricate world of butterflies, hummingbirds, bees and bats, and their life-sustaining collaboration with flowers. Directed by Louie Schwartzberg (“America’s Heart & Soul”) and narrated by Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep, “Wings of Life” will be available on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, Digital and On Demand on April 16, 2013—just in time for Earth Day.

it's a shame that this isn't given a theatrical release.

Did they give up on releasing these in theatres every year?

I didn't even know that these were released in theaters in the first place

I always thought they were direct-to-video.

About time. It was released in France theatrically as Pollen, and it's alternative North American title was Hidden Beauty: A Love Story that Feeds the Earth.

I just recently back-bought all these Disneynature releases (w/ slip, of course

), so I can't stop now. Day 1 for this probably.

DiscoDan · 03-09-2013, 01:38 PM

I LOVE the DisneyNature series, will probably get this one too

confession: I have an irrational fear of butterflies

Moleman1138 · 03-09-2013, 01:56 PM

They didn't release Crimson Wing flamingos either, well at least in the US, but Disney's not giving up on their nature franchise, because next year is Bears.

Original French trailer:

Looking forward to seeing this one!

Hey if it's Disney and nature you can't go wrong. Too bad they don't get David Attenborough to narrate all the films.

"hear! hear!"

Tim Allen's narration for 'Chimpanzees' is just awful.

I hope Meryl Streep's narration isn't as sleep inducing as her work for 'To the Arctic'

HD Canuck · 03-22-2013, 12:10 AM

This seems to be the final, english trailer for Wings of Life, same music as the french trailer, but with the new title:

There's a minute long clip with Meryl Streep's narration on this page:

If you live in Los Angeles, I am going to be moderating a Q&A with the director following the movie on Friday night after the 7:15pm showing the Chinese 6 in Hollywood.

WJWS Channel 13:Amity · 04-05-2013, 07:43 AM

Hey Everyone just wanted to post a reminder if you live in L.A. that I will be moderating a Q&A with the director of the movie, following our 7pm showing at chinese 6. This movie is so breathtaking and beautifuly shot you just have to see it on the big screen.

(a side note but if you loved those early short HD films that BV included on their first waves of bluray releases back in 06/07 the director of WOL also created those short films)

WJWS Channel 13:Amity · 04-06-2013, 09:30 AM

Excellent Q&A last night following the movie, even had a funny question fromJim Carrey(who was in attendance) after opened the Q&A to audience questions for final few mins.
