Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lake Natron's water can reach 140°F and has pH levels like ammonia—literally one of Earth's most hostile environments. The crew had to build special equipment to survive it.
This was Disneynature's first release, quietly dumped in limited markets because execs thought flamingos were 'too niche.' It then outperformed expectations and launched the entire label.
