Natalie Portman takes us under the sea and inside her new Disney+ nature doc Dolphin Reef
Directed by Keith Scholey, who also helmed Disneynature'sis a deep dive into the reef life of the oceans of Polynesia. Following the adventures of a playful young Pacific bottlenose dolphin named Echo, we meet a cast of engaging sea creatures inhabiting the coral reef. There's Mr. Mantis, a peacock mantis shrimp who spends his days compulsively tidying up .
Longtime animal rights activist Portman, 38, was already an avid fan of the sea mammals. "I learned how to scuba dive with dolphins," she tells EW. "The fact that they have a language and communicate and can learn — they're pretty remarkable animals." Her excitement often bubbled over as she watched each scene preparing for her voice-over.
The hour-and-a-half feature film packs in as much drama, humor and emotion as an episode of your favorite reality TV show. But unlike most of those, this flick is family-friendly. In fact, Portman was excited to share the doc with her own children, and her parenting skills added pizazz to her narration. “We played with the intonation to make it fun,” she says.
