Though there were some advanced previews, Awesome Planet officially opened on January 17, 2020.
2. While new footage was shot for Awesome Planet, the film also uses footage from several Disneynature documentaries including Earth, Oceans and Wings of Life. It also has space sequences designed by Industrial Light and Magic.
3. Awesome Planet is narrated by Modern Family star Ty Burrell.
4. The score for Awesome Planet was composed by Steven Price.
5. Not only did the theater in The Land receive a new film, it also received some new in-theater effects including lightning, wind, and mist.
