Natalie Portman To Narrate Disneynature’s ‘Dolphin Reef’ Movie For Disney+
Natalie Portman has signed on to narrate Dolphin Reef, the next feature film from Disneynature. The pic will have its debut on Disney+, Disney’s new streaming service that launches November 12.
Dolphin Reef will continue Disneynature’s storytelling style as the film introduces Echo, a young Pacific bottlenose dolphin who can’t quite decide if it’s time to grow up and take on new responsibilities. Dolphin society is tricky, and the coral reef that Echo and his family call home depends on all of its inhabitants to keep it healthy. But Echo has a tough time resisting the many adventures the ocean has to offer.
