60 of 173 · most liked firstI suspect Disney management is looking at all of them together, and that Disney Animation will have the same straitening of future film ideas. Mind you, Raya was pandemic times, and Wish just wasn't that good; Strange World was the only real flier there. But they'll get to the conclusion they want.
neutral · AI labelView post →im watching disney's Strange World to see if they used the part of lone digger that samples slave singing, they didn't use it, this is also the most annoying movie i have ever seen in my life
negative · AI labelView post →Oh man. Sorry, Strange World, I gotta give it to their last traditionally animated movie which Disney sent to the box office the same weekend as the last Harry Potter movie as "counterprogramming"
neutral · AI labelView post →I didn't realize the new Pixar movie was even out. This isn't just under-marketing (which we saw with Strange World) but the fact that it's been released while Lilo & Stitch is still in theaters, plus How to Train Your Dragon, feels like either gross incompetence or deliberate sabotage.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was so fucking confused when Lone Digger popped up in Strange World because in the middle of this Disney movie I'm suddenly thinking about a furry stripper's ass getting showered in blood as a cat man tears open a dog man's throat.
negative · AI labelView post →This is the same movie as Strange World btw and it's legit better which is WILD
positive · AI labelView post →STRANGE WORLD - 5/10 Doesn't really have a hook. Rizzless Atlantis. I remember seeing people saying this movie got no promotion because the lead was a PoC queer kid, but it's also a movie about how fossil fuels are destroying the Earth! So that probably didn't help lmao.
neutral · AI labelView post →Disney's Strange World movie location- The stomach, with toxic stomach acid oceans below! Photoshop.
neutral · AI labelView post →Can verify that as someone whose kid has watched STRANGE WORLD multiple times, the problem with LIGHTYEAR was that LIGHTYEAR is a lame, confusing movie whose existence didn't make any sense. That it went theatrical while TURNING RED went straight to streaming was a decision made by morons.
neutral · AI labelView post →We watched Strange World today as a family. It is WONDERFUL. I am fairly angry at Disney dropping the ball on its promo. Probably the best non-musical Disney animated film of the last decade. SO MUCH SENSAWONDA! And great visuals and characters!
positive · AI labelView post →I LIKED SPACE JAM A NEW LEGACY I LIKED FREE GUY I DEFENDED STRANGE WORLD AND WISH AND KUNG FU PANDA 4 WHEN NO ONE ELSE DID DO YOU REALIZE WHAT A MOVIE HAS TO BE IN ORDER TO ACTIVELY PISS ME OFF
positive · AI labelView post →Tell me your favorite movie not many people know. It’s KUBASA IN A GLASS: THE STRANGE WORLD OF THE WINNIPEG TELEVISION COMMERCIAL (1975-1993) and it’s available for free right here: vimeo.com/439627683 Very, very funny and mind meltingly surreal.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about the Disney “Strange World” movie, which is the high water mark of degrowth propaganda. The costs of degrowing the economy is framed as “sometimes I have to take a shower with cold water”, instead of “sorry we don’t have the energy to manufacture any more medicine this quarter”
negative · AI labelView post →Strange World. A mainstream Disney animated film where one of the main characters was a gay kid who talked openly about his crush and had a boyfriend by the end. Of course Disney blamed that for the movie flopping and not on their abysmal advertising.
positive · AI labelView post →Disney was reportedly set to release a new original animated film in 2024 centered on a Persian princess. Due to ‘Strange World’ and ‘Wish’ being box office bombs, the film was canceled and ‘Moana 2’ was rushed into production to take its place. (via www.thewrap.com/animated-ori...)
neutral · AI labelView post →Strange World/Wish/Moana 2 might be the single worst three-movie run in the history of Walt Disney Feature Animation. Historically, they've usually mixed the stinkers in with some gems.
negative · AI labelView post →Three years ago, we spent part of our Thanksgiving break taking a bunch of kiddos to see Disney’s Strange World! #FilmForGood
neutral · AI labelView post →Absolutely! I think the actual quality of Pixar hasn’t declined at all, I think the marketing has tanked films. I didn’t want to try Onward for the longest time but it’s hilarious. There’s a great movie in Lightyear if it wasn’t IP based. Strange World was a lot of fun too! I tried all long after-
positive · AI labelView post →I think it’s weird the parents lock their daughter away, giving her all this shame and trauma… and the movie never explores or acknowledges it. But, many Disney movies since then have had themes of generational trauma (Encanto, Turning Red, Strange World)
neutral · AI labelView post →2 years ago today, ‘STRANGE WORLD’ released in theaters. The film grossed over $73M at the worldwide box office on a budget of $180M.
neutral · AI labelView post →I won’t call Disney a courageous creator of art, but considering that when they do a film with even the mildest message (Strange World: let’s not destroy the environment we’re a part of, gay son; Turning Red: girls exist) it’s treated like the Communist Manifesto, I get them being non controversial.
neutral · AI labelView post →"[Guðnadóttir] recalled her musical life with glee, which you begin to understand as she talks about her love of exploration, be it about the atmospheric space in a nuclear power plant or creating a band featuring a film crew full of untrained singers." The Strange World Of… Hildur Guðnadóttir:
neutral · AI labelView post →Yep we watched Strange World with the kids yesterday. A Disney film, made a couple of years earlier than Elio. The lead character’s son has a same sex crush / relationship. It’s beautiful. Did my 6 and 10 year old need a conversation about it? No, some people are gay, it’s flipping normal.
positive · AI labelView post →Hold up will this movie actually be fire? I don't wanna get my hopes up too high since the last time I watched a modern Disney movie in theaters (not including Pixar content) was "Strange World" and we all know how that turned out...
negative · AI labelView post →Honestly I think a component of it to consider in regards to Elio as well might be that it’s most basic level the Pixar style has kind of become stale. It’s not “bad” but a movie like that or even that Strange World movie would have turned more heads with a more unique style to it. Just my thoughts
neutral · AI labelView post →The Strange World of Coffin Joe (1968) José Mojica Marins (co-writer/ director) An anthology film featuring three bizarro tales, with all the shock and perversion you expect from Marins. It's got a cool theme song about Coffin Joe. 📽 #PsychotronicPsunday #Filmsky #HorrorMovies #CoffinJoe
neutral · AI labelView post →I do think it is weird solely from my own personal perspective that I only heard about this movie two days before it came out in theaters. I know I’m not the primary demographic etc etc etc but I thought maybe Disney did another Strange World marketing scheme where they just didn’t.
neutral · AI labelView post →I actually think they could pull off this 5, the Academy in recent years has proven that they won't automatically nominate Disney if the movie isn't glowingly reviewed (Frozen 2, Strange World, Wish). If anything we may get a Robot Dreams-style spoiler in spot 5 that's under the radar right now.
neutral · AI labelView post →Strange World is a fun movie with a great adventure, fun family dynamics and exploration, and Splat is the goat much to my surprise. This movie was definitely buried by Disney because it had a gay lead. I can't prove it but I feel it in my heart and soul. ultilix.neocities.org/disney/main
positive · AI labelView post →just off the top of my head Dinosaur Home on the Range Chicken Little Strange World i know Song of the South is racist af, but even that racist dogshit movie was better than these four
negative · AI labelView post →Day 13 #31daysofhorror - The Strange World of Coffin Joe (1968) Third film in the boxset and after quite enjoying the first two I was looking forward to more. But here Coffin Joe is just hosting an anthology film and unfortunately I was not overly into any of the three stories.
neutral · AI labelView post →For example, say what you will about Strange World, but that film did do a good job of showcasing a same sex relationship that wasn’t treated as a huge progressive deal, but rather just as if it were any regular crush. It wasn’t a big part of the movie but it was still a decent step forward.
positive · AI labelView post →Strange World did poorly through poor marketing and being an overall boring movie. Disney execs are upset the gays didn't come out in droves for it, and like many companies, they went sniffing around to the bigots in hopes of getting money. Given Elio's reception, it's clear that didn't work.
neutral · AI labelView post →1. Serial rapist in The White House. 2. Serial rapist's In The Catholic Church. 1. Epstein Files 2. SPOTLIGHT The Movie It's a Very Strange World We Live In.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was just grumping about ENCANTO, but both those films suffer from “we must make situations that will make for a better Lin-Manuel Miranda song” vs “we must make a film that creates a full cast of characters who all develop in their own, interesting ways” — which is something STRANGE WORLD does!
positive · AI labelView post →I think the last time Disney supportively advertised their original film was Wish cause it was Disney 100th anniversary and was banking on that and oops it sucked a lot, and then just ignored everything about Strange World and purposely left that DOA
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminder: In 2022 Disney released a genuinely fantastic sci-fi animated movie destined to become this generation’s Treasure Planet with a gay POC as the central protagonist which they did no marketing for then blamed its representation for why it failed at the box office! Go watch Strange World!
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Strange World for the first time and is it me, or the character designs does not match the story they are telling? Like the movie felt like it is inspired by pulp adventure movies, comics, and novels, but the art style is just well... standard CG Disney.
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s a disney movie with a concept kinda like this! they didnt advertise it well at all. Called “Strange World”. Gabrielle Union voices the mama i believe.
neutral · AI labelView post →Imo I think enough time has gone by where people just kinda forgot it; probably doesn’t help that it just feels Disney barely advertised Strange World so several including myself were like “there’s a new Disney film?”
neutral · AI labelView post →Strange World is the only large studio film in recent memory that went the other way and had the theme of "We have to stop doing the thing that's destroying everything, yes it's gonna suck, no we didn't discover some magic technology that fixes everything with no effort or sacrifice"
positive · AI labelView post →how did the furry fandom collectively not notice that Lone Digger is in Strange World, the Disney movie from last year
neutral · AI labelView post →Strange World. Some might say Chicken Little or Wish are the worst but at least those movies actually held my interest throughout their duration. Strange World is easily the most boring movie Disney has made to date. I had to force myself to finish it.
negative · AI labelView post →One time I had an interview for some freelance and the guy kept talking about the Disney movie Strange World and I’m pretty sure he thought I worked on that instead of the show I actually worked on: Strange Planet… and I think once he realized that he ghosted me VERY hard.
neutral · AI labelView post →How is Strange World, of all things, the most different-looking WDAS film in recent memory? I'm not even as burned out by this house style as most people are; it's just, with this entry being in the place it is, it needs to be a fresh shot in the arm for them. If there was a time to change it up...

neutral · AI labelView post →I ma going to beat Pete Doctor over the head with a case full of every copy of the movie Strange World I can get my hands on.
negative · AI labelView post →I know Walt Disney Animation Studios is in a bit of rough patch after Encanto with Strange World, Wish, and Moana 2(even though it made a billion dollars), but if it all goes well, especially the bigger moments that’s waiting to happen in the final film, then this will be the comeback that the…
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Strange World again because Milo likes it. I think it's terrible but it amuses me that Disney decided to make a whole-ass movie *just* to piss off MAGA.
negative · AI labelView post →I never got around to watching "Strange World" but I'm kicking myself for not doing so after seeing this video by @popdetective.bsky.social about how it is a #Solarpunk movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →...MAY have seen ads for the movie! For those who block it all out, out-of-home advertising like billboards and posters is going to be more effective (so long as they, uh, go outside). Remember Strange World, Disney's 2022 flop who everyone claimed they saw NO ADS for? I saw billboards for that!
neutral · AI labelView post →And whenever Disney tries to make an LGBTQIA+ movie like Strange World, it either flops because nobody cares for them or those fuckass nazis pull the lgbt grooming conspiracy out of their asses. Disney can’t win.
neutral · AI labelView post →Solarpunk themes in Disney’s Strange World (yes, the one that flopped lol). Tune in to S3 E1: Solarpunk Systems for full chat: https://linktr.ee/sci_burst #scicomm #solarpunk #strangeworld
neutral · AI labelView post →Hexed also seems to have the same problem as Strange World, which is it doesn't really have a defining characteristic. Strange World tried to be an adventure film but failed spectacularly at that, and Hexed is trying to be a fantasy witch world movie and it just doesn't really work in the trailer.
negative · AI labelView post →Or that one movie they buried and barely advertised that had a gay character in it. Strange World or something?
neutral · AI labelView post →#YouTube The Strange World of Planet X (AKA Cosmic Monsters), 1958. Inept British sci-fi monster movie, with the novelty of giant insects in an English wood, confusing bobbies and making ladies swoon.
neutral · AI labelView post →This should be the film that could help recover the disappointment of Disney’s last two original animated films like Strange World and Wish. Though with all due respect, I’d still take those over Home on the Range and Chicken Little.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think they blame the "gay" on why that one movie failed, and not that it was so boring I literally forgot what it was called. (Strange World, I had to look it up)
negative · AI labelView post →I mean really f*ck Pixar for this bollocks. Disney's Strange World from '22 had a gay kid in it and it was no big deal. It was a fun family movie!
positive · AI labelView post →Which would’ve been a really big deal and a major event….if it weren’t for Disney turning the Moana Disney+ series into a movie in less than a year just to recoup the losses of Strange World and Wish, but that’s a different story.
