Earth moods series#

While this is a National Geographic production, it's worth noting that not every nature documentary (of which there are plenty on Disney+) is the right choice when you're looking to relax, as many are violent and/or deal with existential threats including climate change and extinction. Here's what we found: Disney+ĭisney+ has experimented in the past with ambient offerings, including the Disney Parks Sunrise Series, and the animated Arendelle Castle Yule Log and Dory’s Reef Cam, but Earth Moods is the most ambitious of the bunch - no narration, no words, just good vibes from planet Earth. With Earth Moods drawing new eyes to the genre, we took a deep-dive into each of the major streaming services in search of more ambient (and ambient-adjacent) programming. One step removed from the traditional nature documentary, ambient TV draws viewers in with the promise of calming our frayed nerves - and more often than not, it delivers. It's the latest in a small genre of ambient TV shows that pair captivating visuals with natural sound, music or relaxing narration.
