Nat Geo Leans Into Disney IP As Courteney Monroe Teases Possibility Of A “Real Finding Nemo” Series


National Geographic just launched A Real Bug’s Life, a premium wildlife documentary based on the Pixar movie. Courteney Monroe, president of National Geographic Global Television Networks, said that this is only the start in terms of it adapting Disney IP.

“There is such a rich IP to mine and there’s so much shared DNA between the Nat Geo and Disney brands that we are exploring lots of opportunities,” she said at the TCA press tour. Monroe said that there’s no specific plans for this, but she said she believed there was a “tremendous amount of untapped potential for National Geographic inside the Walt Disney Company beyond just in terms of the content that we create”. The Walt Disney Company is a perfect fit for the National Geographic brand and I do think there’s a lot of opportunities outside of television and film and there’s some really good conversations underway.”
