Disney+ Debuts a Trailer for the Heartwarming Documentary “Pets” from Director Bryce Dallas Howard & Imagine Documentaries [VIDEO]

Today, Disney+ revealed the trailer for the upcoming documentary “Pets,” premiering April 11 on National Pet Day. From Disney Branded Television, Imagine Documentaries, and directed by Bryce Dallas Howard (“The Mandalorian”), “Pets” explores the extraordinary relationship that exists between animals and their people, all around the world. The documentary invites viewers on an uplifting journey that showcases the universal love transcending species, filled with moments of laughter, tenderness, and genuine emotion.

Following her documentary “Dads” in 2019, Howard explores another topic that is very close to her heart. Marking this as her second documentary feature, she perfectly curates her own love and interest in animals to relate to any viewer, no matter what their own relationship with the pets in their life is like.

“Directing a documentary about the relationship between pets and their people has been a dream for years. There’s something about these wordless intuitive bonds, full of mischief and love, that feel like magic. And pet videos? They tap into such pure innocence and happiness, the kind of laughter that catches you off guard and reminds you why we love them so much,” said Bryce Dallas Howard. “Working with the incredible teams at Imagine Documentaries and Disney Branded Television was an absolute gift, and my hope is that audiences feel the same joy watching this film that we did while making it.”

Humorous and heartfelt, the film profiles a diverse cast of characters from every-day pet guardians to dedicated animal rescuers and beyond, highlighting the uniquely vital connections they share with their dogs, cats, pigs, goats and even birds of prey. With a mix of inspirational stories, archival footage, viral videos, and engaging interviews, “Pets” takes us on a hilarious and poignant journey that celebrates love, loss, and licks along the way.

The original film from Disney Branded Television is produced by Imagine Documentaries who recently produced the EMMY® Award-winning documentary “Jim Henson Idea Man” and the inspirational Disney+ docuseries “Harlem Ice.” The film is produced by Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, Meredith Kaulfers, Bryce Dallas Howard and Elisabeth Jamison. Executive Producers are Brian Grazer and Ron Howard.
