Strange World is a Disney DISASTER

- Released back in November of 2022, 'Strange World' is Disney's latest animated film that follows a family of three generations on a mission to save their town and their relationship.
It's no secret that Strange World was a box office flop and a critical mixed bag. Though I tend to lean more on the negative crowd on this one; we're here today to talk about the garbage fire that is this movie.
Does 'Strange World' deserve all the hate? Or is it simply a misunderstood gem? Well let's find out!

Hello random stranger, how are ya? Hope you enjoyed the video! I know I'm a bit late on giving opinions on this movie, better late than never I guess 🤷♂
I had an entire segment where I talk about what Disney could've done to make the movie a wee bit better but I decided to scrap it. I'll probably put it on the second channel (no promises tho lol) but who knows. Have a great day and a great life!
I actually liked the movie it was some what of a creative idea
I would love to see you talk about Dreamworks movies, puss in boots 2 would make a great review video
Please go ahead and post that other video as soon as you get the chance because I'm not going to lie I think it'd be very interesting to hear how Disney could have done better especially since a lot of other people are writing this movie off because of how mediocre it was
You sound like speedy Gonzalez. Just saying.
I Want A Live Action Version Of This Movie But With A Better Script And Plot. I Had No Problem With Anybody's Sexuality.
You know what? Maybe Disney needs a new villain. A real villain, like Scar or Jafar, someone who takes the conflict further than simple misunderstandings or family issues.
Edit in 2024:Yes, I watched wish and I know now that Disney needs much more than just a real villain🤦♀️
I loved Strange World but I couldn't agree more because that dysfunctional family trope is getting too much and too boring. :(
YES! We need another legit big bad evil who's absolutely ready to throw down their weight to get what they want. Not all have to be like that cause there's plenty villains who are goofy or not evil evil but still an interesting "bad guy"
Bob Iger!
Honestly I'm sick of all these family movies. I want a freaking adventure, someone to be scared of. They're last few movies are just family trauma I guess
Villains like Scar and Jafar would have them accused of queercoding - which they always did anyway.
Villains like Clayton or Frollo would hit too close to home with the higher-ups.
No wonder DreamWorks overtook Disney at the box office.
Puss in Boots is straight fire, hopefully DreamWorks forces Disney to try harder lmao
I am loosing hope in Disney for making a good movie
@@beaniiebrian Waiting for you to make your review 🙃
@@Nutella9749 The only good movies disney have are Encanto and Turning Red
Dreamworks is the goat. I always like them more than Disney imo.
Modern Disney reminds me of a baby bird trying to feed itself for the first time, and not understanding why the food doesn't crawl into its beak on its own
r/rareinsults
Wow
@@lolman6759 rare and decent
True
Your so right
You know what Disney REALLY needs, a new CEO. A company which came from doing animation, has a CEO which HATES animation. They need a new CEO, one with passion for the art of animation, a CEO that sees animation as hard work and not some throwaway or waste of time.
Yes I ABSOLUTELY agree!
How the frick does someone who hasn't an inch of passion for animation become the CEO of Disney?
Not accusing you of lying, just angry at the bs.
damn
thankfully they a couple months ago
but ofc there'll still be these flops bc they were already put in motion before then.... but hopefully, disney will eventually get back on their feet again by then
They went from Bob to Bob and back to Bob
I’m honestly very glad Dreamworks is currently dethroning Disney, seeing how corporate they’ve become, they dont deserve to be on top anymore.
Unlike Disney, DreamWorks isn't a corporation!!!!!!!
Same
I may be a fan of Disney, but you’re right.
I used to resent DreamWorks long ago for dethroning Disney, thinking they were only doing it all out of petty jealousy, but in this case, Disney deserves it.
@@ShirubaGin what was boss baby then?
Disney also needs to make an original villain. NO twist, NO betrayal, NO internal conflict with oneself. An ACTUAL villain like Gaston, Ursula, Cruella, even Chernobog and he never talked (unless you count House of Mouse)
Last Disney movie with an actual decent memorable villain was Ernesto Delacruz from Coco....THAT WAS FROM 2017!!
I bet no one remembers any villains from any movies that came after Coco, let alone like any of them (I'm looking at you Ercole from Luca...literally had to look up what was his name)
(Edit: none of the villains are in order of who I like, its just a list of random villain names, I was just listing off villains, thts it, nothing else.
Also, forgot that Coco was Pixar, but thats not the point, the point is that it has been a very long time since we had an actual decent villain from Disney.)
Your statement is even more obvious now that we have Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
I HATED Ercole, and not even in a "oh dude I admire him as well written villian character!" kind of way like yeah, dude throws his superiority and weight around, and he makes my blood to see him sink so low as to beat up little kids, but he's also so pathetic, and he's eats up a lot of screentime that could had gone somewhere else. I get that's the overall point of his image and character, but eh, the movie could do without him.
@@jessoliveiro8975 Haha! He had the opposite effect on me in that I actually loved him, but it's because I see him as a sad, strange little man instead of a straight-up villain. Alberto's jealousy over Luca's newfound friendship with Giulia had a more antagonistic effect than him, I would argue.
COCO IS PIXAR, ERCOLE IS FROL LUCA, WHICH IS PIXAR- IM LOOSING MY MIND AT HOW MANY PEOPLE SAY ITS DISNEY JUST BC PIXAR IS OWNED BY THEM
@@4ngiel0ver so then Tamatoa, Kakamoa and Taheki (sorry if i misspelled them all) from Moana were the last villains from 2016, thts still a long time since they had a decent good villain.
My point is that Disney hasn't had an actually villain for a long time, that's what I'm trying to state. Too many internal conflict man vs self, not enough external conflict man vs man
The "I'm not you, dad!" thing has been done so many times that frankly, I'm sick of it.
This. I wish that we'd get more movies where the son wants to follow in the dad's footsteps, but the dad doesn't want the son to because of variables like danger, lack of time, stunting relationships. Stuff like this would be so much cooler.
Or maybe even the, "I'm not you, dad!" trope could be at least interesting if something came around where the son realizes that he has to follow as a matter of responsibility, honor, or duty to family/tribe.
@@chiseledcanary9656 Japanese movies and games have a better way of portraying that. Or to reference a more recent game, God of War. Atreus really wanted to be different from Kratos, but he eventually understood along the way why his dad trained him to be better.
I agree! Most of the time it seems like the kid never expresses dislike of the things the dad has him do until some ‘outburst’ that starts the movie. Either that, or they get upset over like, normal discipline that every kid should get. Stuff like “You’re not allowed to go to the party because you did something illegal” is TOTALLY valid parenting, but movies use it as ‘kid is right, parent is wrong.’
And they already perfected this in A Goofy Movie from like 20 years ago
@@chiseledcanary9656 Ironically, the relationship between Jaeger and his son was the only part I thought was even remotely interesting despite the fact that yes it is overdone to deeeaaath in the genre. To the movie's credit, I also kinda liked how they didn't fall into that woke trap of making men incompetent morons to make the women seem that much cooler. The mom was a great pilot and good fighter but the dad was also a great inventor and good explorer. Other than that, yeah the movie was painful to watch. I intentionally and willingly fell asleep at the end in the theater because I didn't want to watch any more of it.
Animated films usually don't get talked about in regards to their directors, so I wondered how this movie managed to fumble a pretty decent premise so badly. Then I learned the same directors made Raya and the Last Dragon and it suddenly made sense.
Heck, even Raya and the Last Dragon was more entertaining.
Raya was still well directed, it's message was just fumbled and used the wrong wording (i.e. "perspective" would have made a lot more sense than shoving "trust" down our throats)
This might be my personal opinion, but Raya was HELL to watch (at least for me), all the characters were forgettable, the "antagonist" was a literal woman-child, and Sisu...I wanted her to actually die multiple times throught the movie, I hated that character so much.
Strange World was mid, but honestly, I would rather watch a mediocre film than an insufferable one
I think I was only able to watch raya with no issues because I’m a dragoholic
Strangely it was the opposite for me I hated strange world with a passion and thought raya was mid, to be fair as long as a movie isn’t boring I can still find it ok but i was bored basically the whole way though strange world
It’s like that one scene in monsters university
Disney: “once you lose, nobody will remember you”
Dreamworks: “And if I win, nobody will let you forget it”
yo that goes hard
that sequel (Or prequel? I dunno) was pretty good, unlike some of the new movies Disney is releasing
I don't remember anything from that movie.
@@dutyfree5192 I think that’s the only prequel Pixar released
I loved that movie as a kid and I still do, it's so rare that you see the message it had in kids' entertainment but it's such an important message about accepting reality but still succeeding despite your limitations.
The sad part is the world building probably isnt too bad it just the story is centered around the characters which are bad. Like the whole idea of the world being a giant turtle actually opens up a lot more questions which in turn leads to a much more interesting story. Like were the humans there native to the world or are like parasites like fleas or if they came from somewhere else then how did they not know about the giant turtle? Clearly they would've had some kind of sign that something was off. Like its a aquatic turtle does it not ever dive underwater? Or is water too shallow for it to dive and if thats the case than why did it adapt to live in water if 90% of it body isnt submerged. Theres a lot to go on but sadly we'll probably never find out.
Those are such good thoughts :D
It'd be so interesting to see like, one of those books disney occasionally makes where the directors go in depth about the world itself. I wonder if there are other turtles or is it just the one, was there more and this is just the last? Did the worlds "primitive" people have folklore about it?
But no ig they just didn't want to do anything cool with the movie
@@defectiveaffect Im pretty sure there are other turtles we just didnt see them. It would be pretty weird if there was only one.
@@NoraIconiq I mean it's a mystic turtle with people living in it it's already weird lmao
I get what you mean though, just wish there was even just a hint at there being more like in the zoom out of the world there's another set of flippers or something.
Maybe some of them have just animals not humans, some don't have creatures at all but very diverse plant life, even some who are more of a biome rather then ecosystem like a wasteland tundra or desolate mountain range
At least it's fun to think about the possibilities
@@defectiveaffect yeah its fun to think about and honestly the movie wouldve been a lot better if it was a movie about discovering the world and all of that rather than the terrible character shenanigans. Its like they made it bad on purpose. And shoving the turtle plot twist at the end was all they thought up to. Because it literally doesn't have any affect on the outcome. Its practically alluding to a better story but then they ran out of time and shoved it out anyways. Showing the turtle is something you should put in the middle of the story and not the end. That way you have plenty of time to flush out why no one knew about it to begin with.
well you see, there is a stack of turtles
Dreamworks is becoming the new big entertainer nowadays. Their writing is better, animation is more experimental, and gives us what we want in a movie, even if its designed for kids. Take the new Puss in Boots for example. There's a lot of moments kids laughed, a lot of moments adults laughed, and the villain is actually scary. Underneath it all there is a lesson, but it isn't forced down our throats.
yeah it is, puss in boots is existential dread the movie
And the fact they stayed out of politics adds to the fuel for DW’s gas tank.
oh and the fact that they play around with the idea of antagonists, actual villians and sympathetic antagonists/villians. like for instance in their new movie they have jack, death and goldie n the three bears but they all play a different role/purpose. disney just goes with the typical family issues n woke issues nowdays. their old movies were so good cause they had actual depth in their messages unlike their recent movies.
@@mew3183 that and the SURPRISE villains.
@@mew3183 I agree. The majority of new Disney movies nowadays just push not only the typical family (or puberty issues, whatever the hell they can come up with.. like Turning Ded), but also woke shit down our throats, ESPECIALLY to CHILDREN. And CHILDREN watch those movies not knowing this and getting lost later in life and becoming and having woke ideas and shit later on (A few examples is this movie under review in the video, Lightyear, and several others). It's honestly sad that Disney's movie quality has degraded with time now that they're becoming corporate... I still love the old movies, but whoever is still in control of making these shit movies from Disney and the CEO (whatever) has to go.
I remember seeing legit one trailer for this movie and then never heard of it again until people were saying that it flopped at the box office.
That is a very clear definition of everyone who saw the trailer and completely forgot it existed because it wasn’t well promoted…
I have a feeling they wanted it to flop
@ChaosLord5129no it did badly because of poor marketing. Look a treasure planet, Disney did this before
@ChaosLord5129 Flopping at the box office means people didn't go to see it because they weren't interested or they didn't know about it. People didn't necessarily know if it was going to be a bad movie before seeing it. You can be a box office flop and be a critical hit like Fight Club, or you could be a box office hit but a critical flop like The DaVinci Code
@Choas_Lord_512 Nah the film wasnt even released in like 30 country. And recieved 0 promotion
So no one questions if there are OTHER giant turtles out there with another town stuck on it's back? They just accept that they're the only humans in the world living on top of a creature?
No given the size of the habitat that the turtle lives in theres definitely more.
Uhm… the movie is over… when do you expect that to happen? In the end credits?
And if it takes place on earth, is this from the far future where the last of humanity lives on a giant turtle? Where did a turtle that size come from?
@@thenocturnenarratorI guess OP wished the idea was executed well
the mortal engines but with turtles
I think Disney saw Encanto doing well with the family drama plot and decided to do it again real original Disney
I'm pretty sure the past 5 Disney/Pixar movies at this point have been about generational trauma, it's like the new equivalent of their weird obsession with twist villains in the early to mid-2010s
@@kirbysuperstaruhh3769 In fact movies with this trope didn't do anything to me speaking of being nostalgic or considering them as memorable. Disney movies after Rapunzel didn't have any impact on me, but that's because in fact that there wasn't a good villain, and the hero didn't make a journey full of obstacles, which the previous ones did. Dreamworks is doing a good work with this. His villains are VERY memorable, have a good story, and look intimidating. Death so far is the BEST Dreamworks "villain", (Not that he really is, he's a force of nature, but still) he did send me shivers everytime I could hear his whistle. THIS is how to make a good villain. I'm tired to of these family issues with Disney in their stories.
@Varies That's fair! I wasn't trying to defend it either, in fact, I am just as tired of it as you are! I'm just pointing out how common of a theme it has been lately and likened it to the early to mid/late-ish-2010s when it seemed like every villain that came out of Disney/Pixar had to be a twist villain, a trend I've noticed.
I agree about DreamWorks villains though, I hope I'll be able to watch the last wish soon
@@kirbysuperstaruhh3769 Hehehe you're going to enjoy it!
@@Varies16 The Death is basically Darth Vader, has an iconic sound just by a simple sound, powerful af, has a real dread themes and intimidating
They literally had no competition on Thanksgiving and STILL flopped 😭
Even my mom, who actually likes Disney remakes said “Eh didn’t really like it.” Like wow your movie bombed so bad that even my mom is sick of it.
Beaniie has a point guys- the typical animal sidekick has like one requirement to exist and it's to be useful to some degree. The dog can't meet the ONE requirement so why does he have to consume perfectly good screentime that could've been used on something relevant?!
Damn I forgot this movie existed. Seriously, I forgot this existed until this video existed
Dude same
Strange World is bad. Its marketing and box office was an absolute disaster. The movie itself is a hodge podge of generic story tropes, conflicts, and messages. They really try to force the conflict between Searcher and Jaeger and they really want you to think that they're exactly the same, and they're really not. Jaeger abandons his 15 year old after trying to force him to be exactly like him. Searcher lightly implies throughout the movie that he wants Ethan to continue his legacy, but he only becomes kind of forceful towards the very end. This conflict doesn't make sense and it's nothing new at all. There's some interesting ideas, like the giant creature thing, but nothing is done with it. This movie is bad.
Okay well I’m sorry for you that you didn’t like it I just enjoyed it and I thought it was good to me it doesn’t have to be good to you even I thought what was worse is Mars needs moms
@@ultimatealdo1922 I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The thing that’s forced between harder and searcher is the conflict between them. Hell, searchers whole thing wasn’t even that his father left him, so bringing that up never mattered to anything. The issue was that his father brought searcher on explorations and then the story collect forgets that the only reason searched found the energy in the first place, was because his father took him on an expedition
Al thought Ethan’s whole thing wasn’t developed, there were signs that Sarracher was forcing Ethan to be a farmer when that wasn’t something Ethan ever said he wanted to be. Just because he did it differently does mean he wasn’t doing the same thing his father was supposedly doing to him.
@@BabyGirlTiny Honestly, I think it would've been interesting if the adventures themselves weren't the problem by Jaegar's need for them coming at the cost of his relationship with his son.
Like in the first part, we see how Jaegar is something of a neglectful father thinking that Searcher is his son so he doesn't need help while we see Searcher struggling to keep up until he finds Pando. He tries to tell his father, but his father isn't listening until Searcher finally screams to get him to hear and tell him about the Pando and how they could farm it and just be a normal family. Jaegar rolls his eyes saying that they're Clades and danger and adventure are in their blood and why to sit on a farm when there's so much to explore. Searcher argues back that Jaegar only started taking him on adventures after his mother died and that he never wanted to go in the first place. Jaegar tries to ask if would he really be content living the rest of his life on a farm, doing the same thing every day and Searcher says yes. He says he's tired of putting his life on the line just so Jaegar can get the glory. Jaegar says fine and says he'll continue on his own then. Searcher calls out to him before getting angry and saying that he hopes he gets lost. He would come to regret these words when Jaegar does go missing beyond the mountains which causes him to cry in secret.
I don’t understand why everyone is saying how it’s “bad”.
In my opinion it’s not BAD. Bad is kind of stretching it in my opinion because I’ve seen movies way more bad than this one. It was at least decent to me.
Let’s compare and contrast, shall we?
The Lion King: child protagonist’s father dies in front of him and he weeps at his corpse’s side
Mulan: a horde of no-nonsense warriors without a single speck of comedy destroys an entire village, including a child, and the protagonist has various breakdowns about her qualities and what she can bring to the family
Cinderella: main character undergoes domestic abuse in an exaggerated, yet still very realistic and topical manner
Moana: main character mourns her grandmother, co-protagonist was abandoned as a kid
Strange World: characters always SLIP and RUN and SMACK ON THINGS and SCREAM and act WACKY!
That scene where she finds the child's is literally one of the most chilling things Disney has depicted.
The only other films I can compare it to are the package features and MAYBE Chicken Little/Home on the Range.
@@austinreed7343 at least HotR had the decency to star animals instead of people, and attempt something darker with Maggie’s backstory and the flood.
Not the best, but they tried.
@@miticaBEP07
I could argue there are scenes where Strange World tries.
Wait... moana had a grandma? That water lady? And maui was abandoned as a baby??? Neither of those details were memorable enough for me....
The accuracy of the opening skit was painfully on point.
My brain imploded when the family started playing Lone Digger, it was shock and grief and shock and grief and annoyance because it didn’t fit the scene and was put in horribly
It would be kinda cute if they use Hawaiian rollercoaster ride as a cameo song from Lilo and Stitch
The directors also worked on Raya ATLD, so you can probably blame them for the poor writing lmao
"No bad guys".. biggest mistake. Villains almost always make a story 1000 times better
I don't know what idiots are running things these days to know what audiences really want when it comes to villains.
There's a reason people remember jack horner and the wolf from puss in boots.
@@Datboichannel I know I just didn't want to spoil it for people who did see it yet.
@@ellentaylor6883 oh your right I’ll delete my comment :)
Some movies can work without a villain (like Inside Out) but it’s usually fun to have a memorable villain on screen
"I wanna merchandize it" is the "Losers watch adult cartoons" from velma for this movie lol
Now Disney is not gonna try original movies like Strange World ever again after that bombing Edit* THIS aged poorly
Yeah, it’s real sad, now they’ll be scared to try after this.
Wait I feel like I've seen you before somewhere else

It has potential but it's so bad I'm sorry 😭
The ending disappointed me so much :,) like- why that twist...
It didn't even need to be a twist in the first place...
Your comedic style is so good! I love all your little quips and subtle jabs!
Thank you! I try ❤️
I find it kinda funny that more family driven narratives where no one is the true villain were once the big new thing, taking over the classical heroes tale and evil villains, and now they’re the industry standard, with something like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish being praised for its classical heroes tale and evil villain standing out from the crowd
I don’t think strange world is bad, but the worst part about it is that Disney didn’t even care about this movie but I kinda enjoyed strange world
I agree
I feel like they wanted it to fail they barely advertised it and did so the same week as Black Panther 2
I feel the same honestly
I liked the movie as well
I liked it, but I could see why people find it boring. I guess I'm just the type of person that likes every movie I guess.
What I really really loved about the movie is the twist about the so called "strange world". I find it interesting and unique. If you finished it btw you know what i mean
I never even heard about this movie until I saw it being advertised at my town's theatre. I still haven't seen it.
The trailers are 100x worse though so it's a good thing you never saw it 💀
Yeah and he said something if you want to watch a movie about saving environments he prefers you watching wall-e but don’t watch the Lorax by illumination that is the worse in peoples opinions and this adaptation doesn’t make any sense to the books original source material
@@ultimatealdo1922 What's wrong with the Lorax?
I watched. Got to the plants under the earth and said. Oh, those plants are breathing in and out like lungs. Oh crap.... they didn't. Did they? Oh damn they did.
The MOMENT Ethan hugged that breathing tree I knew where it was going lmaooo
OH MY GOD that was my exact moment too I was like “Oh it’s a body, that’s the twist”
Everything there looked like different types of body cells. I was thinking about it from the trailer. Good to know it ended up being true cause I never watched this movie anyway and probably never will
Caspian's line when he meets Splat, "It's so cute! I want to merchandise it." which is regards to how Disney usually makes tons of merch for their properties.
However, in addition to this movie's Invisible Advertising, there was only a single Splat plush, a few t-shirts, and a water bottle available from the Disney Store.
Highly unusual, compared to the entire displays of new merch Disney Store typically puts out for new animated movies.
This movie did not even receive Funko Pops, which is especially abnormal for Disney Funko fans.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s entire performance as the dad sounds like he’s legitimately embarrassed to be in this movie, it gave off similar vibes to an adult actor appearing in something like Barney, where you can tell they’re just like “Can I please just grab my paycheck and go already? I feel like I’m degrading myself by being here”
I didn’t get that vibe at all
DreamWorks is awesome right now. Its not afraid to be creative, which means it's inconsistent but when it hits it hits. For every megamind or Shrek, there's a bossy baby, trolls, and shark tale...
most logical comment ive seen regarding these studios
Yea Dreamworks isn't very consistent but their best movies can rival with Pixar.
Considering Toy Story 5 is now happening it's very clear Disney and Pixar are desperate for another animated hit film after Onward, Lightyear & Strange World flopped and considering two out of those three were original ideas it most likely means they'll be even more hesitant to greenlight original ideas.
Bruh. I didn’t even temper onward. I had to google it to remember what movie it was.
@@viridianacortes9642 honestly it wasn't even that bad but yeah, it was super forgettable lol. I watched it like once around the time it came out and now I hardly remember anything about it.
Swear Luca would’ve looked mad on the big screen bloody hell 😢
@Choas_Lord_512 I really liked the movie tbh
Luca was okay for what it was, not great but not horrible either
@Choas_Lord_512 I can see where you're coming from but I think the reason they were obsessed with the scooter bike is because they want to explore the land
I honestly didn’t want to watch Strange World because I don’t trust Disney anymore and I knew the story would be mid.
Once was enough for me.
Guys don’t worry I’m trying not to be negative with you but I heard that Disney’s next animated feature will be wonderful and unique which it’ll come out on November 2023 called wish which this one is about a wishing star and our main character is name Asha and her animal sidekick is a goat name Valentino and a star is character hoping this movie will be a box office hit and return of the Disney formula of bringing back classical villains like Hades, Jafar, Maleficent and Ursula
@ultimatealdo1922 this aged like milk ..
Meanwhile, Dreamworks : "WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE FEALESS HERO? WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE FEARLESS HEROOO!?"
It was an alright movie, I'll give it that. But Disney doesn't need mediocre right now, they need wow movies. And their last wow movie, in my opinion, was _Coco._
What about Onward ?
@@erenjeager9442 Been a while since I've seen it. I'd say probably just below _Coco._
Encanto?
@@greenstarlover1 It was alright.
Soul and Luca?
Mediocre movies like this is the reason why Disney is losing their magic and it’s the reason why other studios are taking over, Dreamworks made Puss in boots the last wish (which I absolutely love this movie is a masterpiece) but Strange world and the god awful Pinocchio live action is killing Disney’s image … It’s amazing to see other animation studios making great movies and getting the recognition they deserve but at the same time, Disney doesn’t know what to do anymore with their movies … Disney has the potential to hire amazing artists and story tellers to make Amazing movies but instead it feels like the company doesn’t care anymore…
tbh, Disney lost its magic a long time ago😶
I think this Movie was Pretty Decent. 6,0/10.
But it should be a Lot Better, like:
- Be all that 2D Comic Style from the Beginning;
- Show a Little More about Jeager Clade and why he loves to explore so much;
- Instead of a Boring Black Screen with "25 Years Later", actually show Seacher returning to Avalonia, revolutionizing everything with the Pando Plant, meeting and marrying Meridian, having Ethan, adopting Legend (The Dog), Ethan and Diazo having a Better Relationship, etc;
- The "Black and White Style" in the Beginning is never used again, so why not makes like "The Wizard of Oz": when they are on the Farm, everything is Black and White, and when they reach the Strange World, the Colors appear;
- Still talking about the Colors, instead of the Most Part of the "Strange World" being all Pink, have a Lot of Varieted Colors. More Alive in some Places and more Dark in Others;
- The Creatures of the Strange World being more Interesting, Creative, with Many Details, and especially, having *Face Expressions.* Okay, not all them, but most of them, *especially Splat,* like make him having eyes and a mouth similar to the Minecraft Slime, and how he is literally a Slime, he should have the Ability to Change the Shape of his Body in Anything he wants;
- Having a Better "Negligent Father" Message;
- Jeager and Calisto saying Sorry for their Actions;
- Ethan declaring himself for Diazo, instead of they just ending together with no explanation.
The theory is that the relationship was subdued to force Disney corporate's hand. They have a tendency to flat out cancel films with gay characters. So the studio made a character who was gay but the relationship was such a tiny part of the movie that it wouldn't be enough to make Disney bring down the axe.
@@jarynn8156 it's cool have a Disney Gay Protagonist, but this Characterist from Ethan isn't really important to the story.
@@omundodovini3774 I honestly love that about the story. Being gay isn't something special, its just a part of his identity. The important part to the story is he is in a relationship so that Jaeger and Searcher have another means of competing for Ethan's admiration. The fact its a gay relationship doesn't matter in the slightest.
@@jarynn8156 yes, your right!! And cool how anyone critics Ethan for being Gay,, Jeager, Seacher and Meridian accepts this very well when they are talking with Ethan about this.
@@jarynn8156 Even if the character were not gay, his teen romance would still be only a tiny part of the story.
I don’t understand why so many of the characters were rooting for the guy who abandoned his family
Disney: Dog characters have to be happy, obnoxious and oblivious all the time or they're not even dogs.
DreamWorks: Hold my leche.
YESS!!
Holy crap I didn't even thought of this, DreamWorks really did own Disney in even the basics
Looking at the plot and characters in this movie, it feels like the directors or writers were afraid to give any actual tension or drama to this story.
Good thing I never wasted a dollar seeing this in cinemas. Sometimes I miss older animated movies.
10:55 - 11:00
_"What kind of game has no bad guys?"_
_"That's just poor story telling"_
Jack Horner: _Agreed, so why did you do it anyways?_
Death: *I think someone's head has gotten to big for their shoulders.*
YYYAAASSS FINALLY!!! You literally touched on all the points I was harping on about this movie to my family for the past week!!
6:44 * Bingo from Bluey * 😔
Anyway, I think this movie mainly suffered from too many characters. We didn't need the mayor lady on the actual journey, the mother felt like she barely contributed to anything, and the crew didn't even need to be there with how little they existed. They should've had it just the family, especially giving the mum more relevance. Like mentioning she doesn't have a family legacy to uphold, or something, to bounce off the dad and grandpa conflict. idk I'm not a writer.
"HEY! stop making sense!" that summarizes disney in one sentence.
This feels like a rip off of Made in Abyss and a One Piece movie that literally is about an island being a whole ass turtle.
To be fair the living Island concept isn't new. There is Gaia from Greek mythology. Moana also did it. In Teen Titians Go earth was on a sea turtle.
How do I watch this entire movie without realizing that the dog had three legs
I saw the trailer while in the theatres to see Thor Love and Thunder and I knew, Yeah Disney's running out of ideas
I went to see Puss In Boots 2 in theaters, and the Disney trailers were the worst trailers (except Elemental) . From a half assed Little Mermaid remake to a nostalgia baity cinematic remix of an Elton John song for Ant-Man 2.
So they where all living on the back of a giant turtle? Was the turtle's name A'Tuin by any chance?
One thing that confused me was how the pando works. They only go to investigate because pando is dying, implying that the creature is actually healing by killing it. But yet it's actually sick? Wouldn't that make pando stronger/more potent?
This film is a textbook example of missed potential. I love the idea of searcher’s life works, pando being a infection that’s killing not just there world, especially the world being a living thing and him having to choose to kill literally his life works to do the right thing.
Disney’s writers seem to have a problem with handling meta-jokes, using them as an excuse for poor writing rather than a way of having fun with and subverting tropes.
Something people don't really talk about is how the characters look like rejected prototypes from Lightyear and Encanto
Yay! Welcome back stranger. You crack me up with your skit again!! 😂
I didn’t realize this movie had even come out yet
It already came and went
Boy i sure do love electricity! Our whole town works on electricity! Without electricity society as we know it would be in bug trouble! Isn't electricity useful
To be fair, WALL E is literally the best animated movie ever made, you could say “We could just be watching WALL E instead” in pretty much any situation. (But yeah, especially this one)
Not necessarily. Even if one movie is better than another that doesn’t mean said movie replaces the other, especially if they’re doing something completely different. You couldn’t really judge a horror movie, for example, by saying you could be watching walle instead.
@Callinater I know, it was a joke (but not the part about WALL E being the best)
Never liked it
When I go to a movie theater, I want to see some cool unnatural stuff with a super cool evil villain. Not some sort of familial conflict or personal issues.
Sometimes you just need a villain who isn’t a twist and is just obviously evil from the beginning like Jafar,Scar or Maleficent.
The “being inside a living organism” reminds me of Mystery Flesh Pit, but in a more “family-friendly” tone.😊
I just found your channel and I love it so much, like--
You make me laugh more then the last 3 movies of Disney and MC combined
The art style is so round, i think they literally omitted sharp angles or even the concept of it in movie
This is sucks
Mean while puss in boots has an amazing story and villain.
It was just so mid for something new, like it could have been so good! I really wish I could have like it more, like it’s fine but it just didn’t really feel like the heart was in it
It's just a bad boring version of Made in Abyss
“What kind of story has no bad guy?” That was the writers cry for help, “please, please let me write a good villain!!”
Raya. Turning red. Light year. And strange world proves that Disney has no idea’s.
We had two dog sidekicks in a short amount of time and the vastly better one with a better balance between comedy and seriousness, who alone managed to help the protagonist in his hardest times, is the one technically from Shrek.
We sure live in a strange world
Perrito was a great dog. 10/10 would Perrito again
I always like to rewatch the classics to re-experience Disney in its prime.
"Was it self sabotage?"
Wouldn't put it past them. They did it with Treasure Planet, except at least Treasure Planet was a solid movie in its own right (even if it is just Treasure Island in space) and just got outright screwed by its terrible, spoilerific marketing.
Basically, what happened with Treasure Planet is that Disney intentionally set up the marketing to basically spoil a majority of the movie, in order to make sure that the movie bombed at the box office as justification to say that "people don't want 2D animation anymore". I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed Strange World up to try and engineer circumstances that can be used to justify a claim of "people don't want new and original stories" or something like that.
i’m still waiting for a Puss In Boots 2 review. I know you prefer complaining brian but i still want it please. Great vid tho :)
Well, he did a positive review for Frozen so there's hope. :)
I love your videos so much. You're one of the funniest guys on the platform 😄
I can't help but wonder if they animated the entire film in the style of the intro, would it have turned out better? Or is that just putting lipstick on a pig?
am i the only person who is kind of tired of disneys art style. The big noses the realistic styles. I dont like it because it makes all their movies look bland and makes it all look the same. I just wish they could break out of their mold once and awhile. Besides Spider man into the Spidey verse and puss in boots 2 has proven that people like more artistic and pop art styles rather than realistic molds of the same art style.
Times have changed and im not saying that Disney has to go completely away from their realistic style im just saying they should try to do something new. Hopefully Elementals helps them realize this.
For me, it's really funny when someone says a movie has lazy writing, and than fails to understand something that was explicit explained before hand in movie.
Like, the end was not Deus ex machina, after all it was show early in movie healing cells that can HEAL the body.
I know right. The movie is well written except for the ending. They just go home and there is no power. Imagine if that happened in real life. They should have found a green energy source like solar panels.
Man this movie's plot and conflict would be so much better if the 'twists' weren't twists and we had an actual antagonist.
A: The 'twist' that the planet is alive should have come way sooner, like have Jaeger just say it when he reuinites with Searcher. It'd give these characters more reason to want to save pando before its revealed that its an infection.
B: Have an actual villain, maybe have the bad guys be an evil corporation that want to be in charge of the city's energy instead of Searcher and pando. Callisto can still be a double agent, now she's just working for this corporation with a mission of making the crew disappear; and when its revealed that pando is an infection they go like "haha now we're going to exploit this resource for MONEY, we dont care if the turtle dies!" the bad guys all die in that PG-rated Disney fashion when the immune creatures realize they're another form of 'infection', the turtle doesn't die because that part was literally pointless, and the protags find like a more safe power source in the form of the turtle's shit or something I dunno.
I came up with this in like ten minutes, compared to what must have been WEEKS in a writer's room for the plot we actually got. How do you fuck up the most OBVIOUS 'save the enviroment' story like that? Would it be ironic if Disney of all companies made a plot that says corporations are evil? Yeah, but its no more ironic than a notoriously homophobic company adding in their 30th 'first' gay character.
I tend to like the villian more than the hero so it's a bit annoying that we don't really get bad guys now
This movie felt like a crossover between Journey to the Center of the Earth and Osmosis Jones and missed the mark on all fronts.
1:18 that person walking in front of disney and pixar was dreamworks
(thanks for bad guys and puss in boots 2)
Dude Honestly I thought This Dude had Like One Million To Two Million Subscribers but when I saw His Subscribers I Was shocked On How Underrated This Dude Is Keep grinding To the Top!
why do people keep saying that including homosexuality into some characters IMMEDIATELY makes disney woke. that is so fucking stupid its just an animated movie why does a male fictional character having a male crush affect u so much
Because they don't include gay characters. They make a bug fucking deal out it as if it makes those people special. No one likes that. Gay people don't like that. They are normal and want portrayed as such.
No one complained about Deadpool 2 being woke. Why? Because the lesbian characters were natural. It was never pointed out they were lesbian for no fucking reason. No scene focused on them specifically for no fucking reason. They were treated like normal people having a normal relationship.
Which is exactly what Disney does NOT do.
Because people are homophobic and use the word "woke" as stand in for "I don't like gays, get them out of my movies."
I think Pixar should defect from Disney...That's my bold opinion.
So much potential here, you remember me like another youtuber, great scripts and a good drawing, still going on man, You are great
Disney: Alright we need to make a decision should we try to make a good original movie or should we keep making live action remakes? Random member of the board: Can we make an original movie but not really try or make it bad? Disney: Genius! That way if the movie is bad we can keep making live action remakes and just say we tried to make an original movie but it didn't work! Perfect!
Disney/pixar has really been dropping the ball on alot of movies recently. Seems like that magic has been lost to a different time.
Maybe Disney should’ve been like: “Oh yeah we have this movie. And uhh, ok.”
cloudy with a chance of meatballs was more aesthetically pleasing to look at. It's like disney is trying to emulate sony's animation art style but all they did was make it ugly and over-inflated. Like the people are made of gum or something
It was alright but I feel like they needed to do better.
But like I’ve said: another Disney Sci Fi movie bites the dust
I actually liked it, not for the story just for the animation. I totally stopped paying attention to the story because of the animation.
My favorite part is at the end when they've gotten outside the (spoiler) and it's a giant ocean, they, as explorers, just go "cool looks like we've reached the end of all there is let's go home because there's definitely no chance of other land masses or any other people anywhere" 🤦
I'll have to watch more of beaniiebrian, and I've never said THAT about a TH-cam channel before!
8:52 Yeah this part of the movie was very frustrating for me too. When they were locked in the closet, I figured that splat should slip under and open the door. It takes them forever to think of that solution, and when splat FINALLY does do it, he just shows the DOG how to do it instead of actually opening it.
It was such a waste of time. 😑
