Disney has recently released a brand new National Geographic series, “SUPER/NATURAL” currently streaming on Disney+. Super/Natural is executive-produced by Academy Award winner James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic) and narrated by Academy Award-nominated and BAFTA Award-winning actor Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Sherlock Holmes).
The documentary series utilizes the latest scientific innovations and leading-edge film-making technology to reveal the secret powers of the world’s most extraordinary animals. Through this first season, there are six episodes that teach us about how these animals communicate with one another and protect themselves from their rivals.
On September 22, 2022, I attended a special screening at Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. Prior to the screening, guests were able to explore the museum with their families. Snacks and water were provided to the attendees along with a take-home gift.
