BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - The Walt Disney Co. says it will launch a new film production unit called Disneynature to produce documentary films about the environment.

CEO Robert Iger said Monday the unit marks a return to the Disney tradition of making nature films.

The first of seven planned films will be 'Earth,' set for release on April 22, 2009, which is Earth Day.

The movie focuses on a yearlong journey of three mothers -- a polar bear, elephant and humpback whale with their offspring.
