How Disneynature filmmakers found the story of 'Orangutan' and teamed up with Josh Gad
""Orangutans have the longest childhood of any animal besides humans. They will stay with their family, with their mother for sometimes up to 13 years, which is so similar to us.""
""When we saw this story, we knew that we needed someone who would be able to tell it in a comedic way, but also bring the depth that Josh delivers. He's just been magnificent to work with.""
Disneynature's film 'Orangutan' follows a young orangutan named Indah as she navigates the challenges of growing up. Filmed over 650 days in Borneo and Sumatra, the film features 700 hours of footage condensed into an 80-minute narrative. Producer Roy Conli emphasizes the importance of the connection between humans and orangutans, highlighting their long childhoods. Josh Gad provides the voice for Indah, bringing both humor and emotional depth to the story. The film also carries a strong conservation message, showcasing the collaborative effort behind its creation.
