Interview with 'Penguins' producer Roy Conli

Published: April 17, 2019, 10:24 p.m.

This year’s DisneyNature takes us to the south pole for a coming-into-fatherhood story. “Penguins” follows the trials and triumphs of an Adélie penguin named Steve. He’s on a quest to build a nest, get the girl, and raise a family. This arguably is DisneyNature’s most ambitious animal documentary to date, with various teams shooting in the harsh Antartic climate of the course of three years for a total of 900 shooting days. Producer Roy Conli joined us for a special advanced screening at the Phoenix Film Festival. Tuesday and I sat down with Conli after the film to get the inside scoop on how Steve’s story came together. Never miss a review by subscribing.
