The film chronicles on the legendary Clades, mainly Searcher Clade who has been always a farmer and has never had the bravery and positives with his family of explorers, but they are threatened to topple their latest and most crucial mission as the must rely on each other and forced to put away their differences while in a uncharted and treacherous land to find a special creature that awaits.

It's one of the more atrocious seeming animated films in recent years, I expect it to flop like Lightyear. The only one I have interest in that's coming up is the Mario film.

Mention Lightyear. Honestly I love the idea of Buzz Light Year being ordinary. If they could just make it work into the animated cartoon of Buzz LightYear I would give it a chance. I have nothing against BLY only the morons they pair him with.

There are so many CGI animation out their and honestly they are mostly good with the exception of a few instances. So I mean meh... just meh.
Oh look rocking the "Indian Jones" typeface.

I haven't really been interested in Toy Story ever since Toy Story 3. The first 2 were classics I liked a lot, but they really ran it into the ground, and also went woke. Repeating the same old themes and characters doesn't work with Toy Story imo, they should have left well enough alone back in the 90's.

It is rather notable how poorly Strange World did. It was pretty obvious this would flop, but I didn't expect it to bomb historically bad. Plus, it wasn't even terribly well received by audiences either:

There's some fans blaming poor advertising but I saw a fair bit. Streaming was blamed too, but under similar conditions Encanto did better, from what I read.

This is just speculation but a disaster of this magnitude may have been foreseen by executives too, and maybe had something to do with the recent and surprising CEO shakeup at Disney. Probably not though.

"Poor advertising" isn't the same thing as "under-advertising", though; I literally have no idea what this movie is about, despite having seen the trailer & tons of posters, banner ads, et cet.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

It's about exploring a strange world, so the title is a little too on the nose imo. But I have no idea why they are exploring it, or how. The trailer really seemed to focus on the strange world itself, as if spectacle alone would sell the film. Apparently not, they really overestimated how interesting it looked.

It's not a very unique premise, even just for Disney alone. It seems similar to Atlantis, which coincidentally also performed rather poorly, so I don't expect them to ever do an exploration focused adventure cartoon again.

In fact, isn't that what Lightyear was about? Maybe Disney fans just really don't like exploration.

...I honestly don't remember that this movie existed. And I just got back from Dakota-------------I spent roughly four thousand hours watching Disney+ stuff with the kids around Hallowe'en, and I know nothing at all about this.
