7/10
It’s a formula that the Disneynature team has stuck to for quite some time now, and the warm narration from Josh Gad is mostly there to keep the kids interested, but the overall experience is still [an] immersive one. Go to Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media Apr 28

5/10
Although the cinematography is great as ever and there are enough cute and heartwarming moments to keep this from being a total wash, it’s simply too similar to other nature documentaries we have seen recently. Go to Full Review Peter Martin EverythingButHorror.com Apr 22
3/5
Does not hesitate to show that the animals do not always cooperate together. ... Even so, it’s rather marvelous to sit back and watch the wondrous abilities of various creatures to make their way through the world without the interference of humans. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Apr 30 Orangutan is a charming Disney nature film that turns a simple wildlife story into something genuinely engaging and heartwarming. It does more than just observe, it builds a narrative that pulls you into the lives of these animals, making you feel connected rather than just watching from a distance. The storytelling is consistent and easy to follow, allowing the audience to stay invested from beginning to end. Watching the orangutans navigate their world is both educational and emotional, giving the film a strong sense of purpose. Josh Gad adds a fun and lively tone through narration, bringing personality and warmth that keeps the film entertaining throughout. Overall, Orangutan is a cute, engaging documentary that delivers a heartfelt experience and is definitely worth watching.

So much so that I ended up spending more time and attention on my phone screen than the television. A shame really as I was hoping for something more like their polar bear documentary, which I enjoyed immensely. See more Read all reviews
