Dolphin Reef is an American nature documentary film about dolphins directed by Alastair ... launched without Dolphin Reef being available to watch. The film was finally released alongside Elephant as a Disney+ exclusive on April 3, 2020.

Filmmaker Keith Scholey follows a 3-year-old dolphin and its mother near the Polynesian Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Out of the vast universe of nature documentaries, I don’t think I’m alone in finding films about life under the sea to occupy a special place. The very fact that they exist, of course, is amazing — though when you watch one, part of the wonder is that you’re not thinking about how it is that aquamarine filmmakers actually hovered in the ocean depths to shoot this stuff.

Jacques Cousteau, the pioneer of the genre, liked to place himself at the center of things, but the creators of “Dolphin Reef,” a Disneynature doc that drops on Disney Plus on April 3, simply get out of the way and let the ancient creatures of the sea seduce us with their surreal evolutionary form-follows-function splendor.

Shot around an idyllic chain of small Polynesian islands, “Dolphin Reef” does indeed trace the rituals, movements, and sheer shining beauty of a pod of bottlenose dolphins. The movie opens with images of them leaping and flying, riding the waves like surfers, and slicing through the water, the sun glinting in pinpoints of light through the ceiling of the sea.

It then builds a true-life adventure out of the gentle tale of Echo, a wayward three-year-old who is having a bit of trouble separating from his mother, Kumu.
