'Penguins' is DisneyNature's most ambitious animal shoot to date

This year’s DisneyNature takes us to the south pole for a coming-into-fatherhood story. Penguins follows the trials and triumphs of an Adélie penguin named Steve. He’s on a quest to build a nest, get the girl, and raise a family.

This arguably is DisneyNature’s most ambitious animal documentary to date with various teams shooting in the harsh Antarctic climate of the course of three years for a total of 900 shooting days.

Producer Roy Conli joined us for a special advanced screening at the Phoenix Film Festival. Kaely and Tuesday sat down with Conli after the film to get the inside scoop on how Steve’s story came together.
