HBO canceled 36 shows and movies, Disney didn't lift a finger to promote Strange World, someone leaked For the Future, and now they canceled Inside Job. The absolute disrespect for animation is unbelievable

One thing I love Strange World is that there's no "villain" in a sense. Like Encanto, and Turning Red, it's just about families working through their problems with a little danger and spectacle thrown in as a little bonus.
The thing about not wanting to be like your parents only to unknowingly turn out just like them is actually crazy and I love how they did it in the film. Showing that it isn't too late for you to be better is a really cool concept to play with.
Man I love this movie 💀
Bonus Ethan Clade and Diazo 😌🏳️🌈
I love them 😁

I find it sad that whenever disney tried to make a sci-fi movie out of their leagues, it always flops at the box office. Like man :(

anyway if you can PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go see strange world when it comes out. i have seen zero ads for this movie. zero. and everything about my algorithms and the content i’ve consumed should state otherwise. we cannot let them blame low turnout on the first openly gay (not to mention biracial!!!) main character

Sorry but this is my favorite Ethan design. I love the pink hoodie and the little shorts. And the even tinier vest. A+

I love how Strange World, an animated sci-fi feature from Disney, is being released around the 20th anniversary of (the criminally underrated) Treasure Planet, another animated sci-fi Disney movie.
Go check out both of these films when you have the chance.

So this movie was super cute.
I've seen (and reblogged) several posts about how (like Encanto and Turning Red) it is about "healing generational trauma" though I fear we may be....over using that phrase at this point.
It is a movie about father/son relationships, but I don't think it cuts as deep into "generational trauma" as Encanto or Turning Red. But it is very much about the tension between legacy and perspective. About how building a legacy often means sticking to a path even when it means disregarding other things, other ideas, other choices. About how being a good parent is very much about being open to new things and ideas and choices.
Like, on top of a very nice message about like...sustainable agriculture and environmentalism, it's also just a very strong message about the importance of letting your perspective be challenged and changed. Being able to realize that, even though you had good intentions, you need to change because you've learned new information.

i don't normally go to bat for disney but strange world was criminally slept on
LIKE. yeah its disney.
but
strange world was SUCH A GOOD FILM!!
and sometimes i think its important to recognize the individual filmmakers and animators outside of the corporation they work for. they're the ones whk make the art, disney just sells it
plus disney did it criminal with ths promotion of the film. grr
anyway. first of all, aesthetically, the film is amazing. its got sort of eco futuristic solarpunk vibes, i mean, LOOK AT THIS!!
and yeah we can make fun of the "first gay disney character" trope all we want but the gay character in this film, ethan, is one of the main characters, and his romance with his crush is treated normally. it's a bit pushed to the side as the movie goes on but its so cute look at them!!!!!!
AND THE STORY!! it focuses on the relationships between fathers and sons, between Jaeger (old guy) and Searcher (adult man) and Searcher and his son Ethan. it's about breaking away of your father's expectations but ending up like them. it's about how to heal the rifts generationally. it's such an interesting dynamic and focus for the story
BUT ITS ALSO ABOUT MORE THAN THAT! its got a strong environmental push in the film that i wasn't expecting. how should we, as humans, deal with an energy crisis when it is actively causing damage to the planet? how do we save the planet?
its kinda the environmental messaging that puts the onus on the collective people to save our planet than the billonare companies that make up like 90% of carbon emissions but it's still a good message to teach people of all ages that they can make their lives more eco friendly and that they can help save the planet
TLDR: Strange World is a good movie please watch it thank you
