Hey, everybody. Bertie Gregory here... Hey, everybody! From the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. We're here to celebrate Jane Goodall's 90th birthday. Hey, Jane. How are you doing? I'm here with my friend Andy. Hello! And we've got a couple more friends out here. I'm really excited to be here for Disney and for National Geographic's official kickoff for our HOME, which is a month-long celebration of Earth Day.

Happy Earth Month, Nat Geo! She's an Earth Day baby, so we love you. We're gathered here to watch the film Jane. All about Jane Goodall. Are you a fan of Jane Goodall? Oh, yeah. I was eight years old when her book came out in the National Geographic Society. She has revolutionized the way we think about how the natural world works. Happy 90th birthday to the incredible Jane Goodall. Happy 90th birthday, Jane. Happy 90th birthday.

[sings] Happy birthday to you. So much love, keep doing what you're doing. You've inspired us. You’ve inspired the world. [sings] Happy birthday, dear Jane. Now, in honor of her incredible legacy, The Walt Disney Company is making a donation to the Jane Goodall Institute. What an amazing birthday gift. [sings] Happy birthday to you. Give it up for Andy!

I'm very excited to tell you about my new song Jump. You know, it’s a song about this whole campaign, jumping in fully, that seems to be my relationship with nature. I have such profound love for nature. So, to be a part of something with National Geographic, it actually sincerely means a lot to me. Tonight, I want to share with you something that is very, very special.

Now, I'm really excited about tonight because I've just come back from Antarctica to give people a sneak beak—sneak—sneak peek? Yeah! Get out your tuxedos, people. We've been filming Secrets of the Penguins. We have filmed something never captured before. You are literally going to be the first people to see this footage outside of the film crew.

Surely, they can't be thinking of going off there. That is a pretty unbelievable thing to see. Yeah. Amazingly, they survived. They headed off out to sea. Now, it's time for our feature presentation. I wanted to come as close to talking to animals as I could. I think the movie Jane is really about empowerment, empowering each and every one of us to make a difference.

The film has received an unbelievable number of awards, including being named Best Documentary by the PGA, the National Board of Review, and the Critics’ Choice, just to name a few. The role that I must play is to make sure that the next generation are better stewards than we've been. Happy birthday, Jane. We love you. Thank you for everything you've done for us.

The film was spectacular, and thank you for all of your work. It was so profound, the message. I laughed. I cried. I had so much deeper understanding and appreciation for nature, and it's just such a beautiful world that we live in. We're doing a Women's History Month thing at school, and so me and my sister both chose Jane Goodall.

Thank you so much for being such a remarkable woman. Thank you for being a pioneer in terms of being a woman and for taking the steps forward necessary in order to break the mold in terms of women observing animals, documenting nature. Stick with us all month on National Geographic as we protect, restore, and celebrate our HOME. Have a great month and we'll see you next time.
