The offerings on Disney+ are a little slim this April. Still riding high on new episodes of Moon Knight and The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, most of the new premieres on Disney+ this month are celebrating Earth Day. There is a documentary about polar bears, narrated by Catherine Keener, about a mother polar bear and her cubs. Explorer: The Last Tepui follows a climbing team as they attempt to help a biologist with his work. And The Biggest Little Farm: The Return is a follow-up to a 2018 documentary about a married couple who leave their lives in Los Angeles in order to set up a farm on an arid plot of land. The Return revisits John and Molly Chester and see how things are going at their farm.

In addition to the Disneynature specials, you can also look forward to Scrat Tales, animated shorts starring Scrat of Ice Age, and Sketchbook, which will have actual Disney animators teaching you how to draw your favorite characters, as well as give you inside facts about your favorite Disney animated movies. There is also Better Nate Than Ever, about a middle-schooler who dreams of making it on Broadway, based on Tim Federle's novel of the same name. Library title Chasing Mavericks is a biographical drama about professional surfer Jay Moriarty. The film stars Gerard Butler, Elisabeth Shue, and Jonny Weston. And if you are looking for a tried-and-true comfort film, Disney+ just added Herbie: Fully Loaded, starring Lindsay Lohan and Justin Long.
