Disney film features footage shot from the International Space Station and will roll out in April 2016

“A Beautiful Planet,” a 3D documentary from filmmaker Toni Myers, will make its domestic debut in IMAX theaters on Apr. 29 next year, Disney announced on Thursday.

Produced in cooperation with NASA, the film features stunning footage of Earth from space, shot by the astronauts or cameras mounted on the International Space Station (photo top).

Myers has been editing, writing, producing and directing films specifically tailored for IMAX  since 1971. Her most recent documentary feature film, 2010’s “Hubble 3D,” has grossed nearly $70 million. “A Beautiful Planet” will be presented in IMAX 3D and 2D for digital, Laser and IMAX 15/70 locations.

“‘A Beautiful Planet’ provides a unique perspective on our relationship with Earth, offering audiences a vantage point that very few have ever been able to experience,” said Walt Disney Studios President Alan Bergman. “IMAX is a perfect format for the film’s spectacular and immersive imagery.”
