Synopsis

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ original action-packed adventure “Strange World” introduces a legendary family of explorers, the Clades, as they attempt to navigate an uncharted, treacherous land alongside a motley crew that includes a mischievous blob, a three-legged dog and a slew of ravenous creatures. The voice cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal as Searcher Clade, a family man who finds himself out of his element on an unpredictable mission; Dennis Quaid as Searcher’s larger-than-life explorer father, Jaeger; Jaboukie Young-White as Searcher’s 16-year-old son, Ethan, who longs for adventure; Gabrielle Union as Meridian Clade, an accomplished pilot and Searcher’s partner in all things; and Lucy Liu as Callisto Mal, Avalonia’s fearless leader who spearheads the exploration into the strange world. Helmed by Don Hall (Oscar®-winning “Big Hero 6,” “Raya and the Last Dragon”) and co-director/writer Qui Nguyen (co-writer “Raya and the Last Dragon”), and produced by Roy Conli (Oscar®-winning “Big Hero 6,” “Tangled”), “Strange World” releases November 23, 2022.

    I really miss Disney movies before the quotas. This was essentially the Pixar short Luna (which is beautiful) with a lot of unnecessary side stories that did not contribute to the larger story they failed to tell. Strange World takes one mediocre story, applies every agenda…

    one of the worst and gross Disney movies ever put in front of children's eyes.

    The whole eco message was ok. But the heavy handed bad parenting and homosexuality really killed it for me. None of it felt natural given the point in the story they were in and felt artificial and injected to just get to the next action sequence. It could have been done…

    Disney has lost their minds. I don’t appreciate getting their LGBTQ agenda down our throats. So inappropriate for a movie targeted towards kids.

    This was the worst Disney movie ever. Don’t waste your time. I’m so upset I wasted my money and contributed to opening weekend. Everyone that came out of the theater had negative things to say. Even my kids hated it. Save your money. Stabbing your eyes with a fork would…

    Cartoon is very funny and good. But I give one star because you can’t promote gays and lesbians in kids cartoons.

    I usually disagree with reviews, but I really wish I'd done research. I was hoping for a Treasure Planet. It was not. If I wanted to watch #propaganda, I'd watch network tv. #iblamechapek

Though Strange World has no meme-worthy songs like Encanto, its imagery is singular and unforgettable, and its adventurous spirit is genuine and thrilling. This is the kind of thing Disney should make more often.

When the emotional heart of the movie focuses on this group of ragtag explorers desperately trying to save the world they know, it’s a grand and exciting adventure, with beautiful scenery and fantastical creatures at every turn.

Strange World’s embrace and rejection of both tradition and modernity can be confounding, despite the undeniable beauty it finds along the way.
