Film-based channels like this one have told me more about this film than Disney’s marketing team.
Word
I saw like two ads on Instagram and that’s it
@Valley0o i love that movie and i haven’t even seen it yet, animation looks so nice and refreshing. i’m excited to see it, and i’m not gonna come back to this comment, until i watch it incase of spoilers lol.
Facebook is the only place where they marketed that film
Facts
How the fuck does a guy who thinks adults don't like animated movies become the CEO of a company that essentially holds a monopoly on the very concept of "animated movies that adults enjoy too"? Like, legitimately, how in the world is that even possible?
Not only that, but the Disney company is notorious for trying to be kid-friendly. Which is why people hate it when they buy mature media studios out and alter their properties. So not promoting something because you don't think adults will like it, but only kids will is alone a very non-Disney thing for the CEO to do.
Just a joke of a world
The main characters are gae its bad movie
@@Ari8husltler this better be ironic my guy
@@Ari8husltler What's that have to do with the comment?
Who's gonna tell these folks Ariel was 16 when she ran away from home and got married? And might have gotten pregnant as a teen as well. But hey, thank you for telling me this movie exists!
Wait a minute my sister did that at 16 after watching Ariel 💀 inspired by her oop

Well she became foam because of that so there you have it kids don't run away or you'll become sea foam
I hate the fact that people get angry over kids of the same sex saying they like each other, but as soon as they see a 4 year old girl and boy hold hands they become obsessed and even make hella weird tshirts for babies
Yeah and even make fan art and fan kids disgusting pos
If your gay just say that
@@Tezz_JKG I am, and also it’s *you’re
@@catgamerr1414 and by the way most kids want to be related to things they are watching and every kid is straight from birth
@@zzyy6191 mate you’re not born anything, you develop your sexuality over time through different experiences you have. Nobody is born straight
I saw this in theatres and I loved it. The best part was how none of the kids in the theatre were phased by Ethan being gay. I didn't hear any of them even question it. They all seemed a lot more distressed about Ethan walking into a creepy cave than anything else (every kid in the room could be heard saying "Nooo! Don't go in there!")
Yes. I’m glad that it wasn’t heavy on the “these characters are gay” ordeal. It wasn’t even the main focus and didn’t push it along with anything political of our real world.
@@spikypikachu1162 just shut up already no one was pushing them being gay on you. You swear you aren’t homophobic yet you keep bitching and whining about it. Just admit it you are homophobic and simply care too much on the characters being gay
It’s like you’re scared lol
Oh, I love that🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
kinda sucks how people are just hating on the movie because the main character is gay. not even because of the bad storyline, forcing political aspects on the world, inconsistent or bad characters with trash development or anything, but literally because the character is gay. seems like alot of people are homophobic
Awww😂❤
I took my 12, 9 and 6 year old not knowing the main character was gay. The kids barely noticed. 9 and 6 yo noticed nothing. My 12 yo asked if Ethan is gay. I said it appears that way, he could be bisexual, I guess. She just said okay and went about watching the movie. We loved it.
I took my family to see the movie and on ride home, my three sons told me they want NAIL POLISH to paint their BOY NAILS. I said sons, I RAISED YOU WITH NAKED NAILS LIKE MAN!!!! NO MORE DISNEY MOVIES N SHIT!!!!! ONLY FACEBOOK VIDEOS FROM HERE ON OUT!!! When we got home, I had to lock myself in the bathroom to jerk off to some trans porn, but my DUMB BITCH WIFE woulnd't stop yellin at me through the door about FEMISM!!!! or whatever it called. I SAID BITCH, YOU GOT MUSTACHE LIKE MEN! YOU FIGHTING FOR RONG TEAM! YOU A MAN, BUT I AINT GAY FOR MARRYIN U!!!!
And here I would like to invite you all to come to my church's Sunday service. We serve breakfast from 8-9 AM, Sunday school from 9-10 AM, and church service with Brother Paul starts at 10. May god guide you into the tunnel of light, a tunnel of light that is claustrophobically straight and blindingly white. Amen?

they dont it see now but when they are older they will think back on that moive and go oh there was a gay human in that movie so it must be ok to be that
@@bobbythompson6017 better than a gay fish....
It's sad too because when I was watching it with my siblings when the grandpa scene came on with Ethan we both were expecting the typical "gay?? You can't be gay!!" Thing but it didn't happen and no one in the movie even questioned it and we were so surprised and relieved and realizing that I still hold my breath whenever a coming out scene comes on was just sad but I'm glad that this movie did what it did, I love it for it
just watched it and I also love it for it. it literally has nothing to do with the character or the movie, it just IS. I wish people didn't treat it any other way, and I have no idea how so many people could respond so negatively towards it
@@fluffyflareon4152 You have no idea because you don't pay attention to what the creators are saying to anyone with a differing opinion, regardless if it is because of the homosexuality. ANYONE who takes issue with the movie, for whatever reason, is labelled an '-ist' of some sort. Furthermore, you said it "just is", but that is not how it was marketed, and they used the controversy they themselves seeded to virtue signal. If you don't see how deflecting criticism from their products by calling people some of the worst things imaginable, while using their crusade as a marketing tool is not a problem, then that is on you.
@@SpenzOT Jesus Christ chill man, bro is talking bout the movie not the trailer. Oh and if YOU payed attention then on the movie the gay character is never once like "oh I'm gay hurrah!!" The titular female love interest is just replaced with a male. Yea and the homophobia thing? That's cause every white right-wing mofo with half a brain seen this thing as a gay story when really, it's kinda boring and childish
Too much gay in movies, my penis is shrinking because of it.
@@blocc_nova746 sure it wasn't already that small
This movie was adorable and one of the most creative things Disney has put out. The "underage" argument is total BS.
In The Little Mermaid, Arial is 16 and Eric is 18, so even though they're only 2 years apart, Eric is technically an adult, and Arial is actually underage.
Snow White is 14, and Florian is ~20
Aurora is canonically ~15 and Philip is ~20
Belle was 17 and Adam (Beast) was 21.
Shall we continue?

@@zhanucong4614 it’s literally canon
Oh, but that's okay because they're straight. Don't you know?
"hardcore gay pron" honestly ben is a pervert when he's thinking about that stuff about children characters in a kids movie.
what he means by " Hardcore gay porn" is people putting actual porn in kids books now. Like in school library's, It shows naked people talking about sex toys. Disgusting.
@kittynboots153 Any examples? Sounds like your typical conservative fear mongering crap. I call bs
As a kid I always assumed everyone was bi. We were told growing up that "what matters is on the onside, not the outside," so of course that applied for crushes too. As a kid I wasn't aware of sexual intercourse, so the idea of sexual chemistry being an important part in a relationship wasn't in my head. Hell, it's still not since I'm asexual, but whatever.
I understood boys and girls were "different," by extent of gender roles. Boys were supposed to be tougher and girls were supposed to be nicer. I thought some people wanted to be with people more tough and other wanted to be with people more nice.
I don't understand why same sex or same gender attraction is a big deal or is more inappropriate.
Hetero relationships are important, beyond the nature of a relationship, because of procreation. But not all male/female couples can do so, nor do they need to. The evolutionary need for same sex couples is to adopt and balance overpopulation.
There's nothing wrong with it. Nothing more mature or inappropriate. People are weird.
lol, same to the ace thing.. I was like 16-ish when I figured it out and I remember thinking ‘wait, so ppl weren’t joking 😦’ I was flabbergasted LMAOOO

I'm glad you talked about Bob getting kicked out of disney. My family works for Disney and my dad had let me know that the day that he was forced to retire there was a celebration in the offices. Bob fuckeddd disney hard like it really isn't as know as you'd expect it to be of how badly he affected allll parts of the company, from the movies, tv, the parks, the crusie line, etc. He was a terrible ceo and made a lot of really stupid financial choices for disney. Bob iger returning to disney was to many peoples dream come true cause he does truly care about what made Disney originally amazing, which is creativity, style, and entertainment. I'm hoping with his return disney will finally not be as money hungry as they have the last couple years.
I think Bob Chapek is terrible, but he carried out a lot of things that started before Bob Iger left, like Magical Express being eliminated, Disney Genie+, Minivans being eliminated, parking fees at resorts, Park Reservations, and variable park pricing per day. It isn’t all sunshine and rainbows with this Bob either.
@@nintendoconvert4045 Bob Iger may have had flaws too while he was originally in charged. However I'm surprised that Iger was critical to Chapek's actions.
Forget where I saw it, but found a pretty interesting thing on him. Granted i don't know much about work politics, but the general gist was that Bob was a Fallman.
@@libraveggie4451 I think there’s some truth to that.
@Nintendo Convert ehhhh I don't think the public is aware with how many inside company changes Bob was in charge of. Since my father works mainly for disney crusie line most of my knowledge of stuff he fucked up was about the crusie line. And when I tell you that he put a lot of realllly dumb financial changes that really drained the company. It was incredibly bad they lost so much money the last couple years from some really questionable choices he made.
I feel like the wet fart analogy is oddly specific. Is there something you're not telling us?
Some things is best not knowing and not asking, my guy.
Don’t go asking questions you aren’t prepared to handle the answers to.

As someone who grow up watching people lose their absolute minds at Heartbeat, an animated 3D short about a boy having a innocent crush on another boy and saw people calling it pornographic (despite, again, not even including a kiss on the cheek), the kind of backlash that Strange World got only surprise me in the sense that is STILL happening in 2022. Since... forever people have been saying that gay people existing in inherently sexualizing and therefore kids can't be gay.
The fact that you were so surprised and confused about it just gave me a giant slap in the face to the fact that... oh, yeah, not everyone has been seeing this happening all their lives.
Everyone who isn't chronically online will know that other people who also aren't chronically online don't give a shit. Nobody cares. That controversy is only online and nowhere else, people don't care.
@@spookypaladin4667 ... you do know that some of this rethoric has caused mass shootings in the real world, right?
Homophobia is a thing with real consequences. I wish it was only an online thing that only happens online.
@@spookypaladin4667 no trust me people say this kind of shit irl too and it’s awful hearing it when your queer
@@spookypaladin4667 I wish. My family doesn't even know I'm bi cause I don't know how many of them will flip some lid about it.
Not sure if this is relevant or anything but when I was first introduced to LGBT+, I can say that it wasn't great. No, it's not the fact that two people of the same sex were in a relationship, it was the fact that it was s3xualized, and I was VERY uncomfortable when I saw it. After that experience, I was pretty hesitant with the community. But after some time to see that it's not all bad, I began to accept it and be part of the LGBT community. It's stuff like this that makes me realize that there will always be people who will ruin something no matter how good or wholesome it is.
People getting angry at Strange World for a gay character is the same energy as people getting angry at Turning Red for a period being mentioned.
THIS!!! but if it was a guy talking about how much he loved a girl everything would be OK 🥺 this world freaking sucks 😢
and oddly enough the reason is always "it's too sexual" when it obviously is not... 🤔
no this movie is just a legitametly bad
@@tonigarcia4965 I agree this world sucks but not for the same reason as you.
I notice that Turning Red is being rereleased. Will the same happen to Strange World?
My mind was completely BLOWN by the incredible visuals of this movie, and as I was watching I kept thinking "THIS movie got hate?! IS NO ONE SEEING THESE VISUALS?!"
I can confirm he is real
@@supermango8261 L secondary bot comment
Visuals alone, does not a good movie make.
The visuals are not even good
@@ernestomiloli8414keep telling yourself that lie
I think it was a combination of the concept not being super interesting and Disney’s lack of confidence in it that killed Strange World.
Similar thing happened to Treasure Planet.
I feel like a they just aren't confident on their projects anymore so they just drop everything by the end so they save a couple bucks
@@airplanes_aren.t_real They aren’t confident in their projects anymore because most of the movies made these days only exist to pander to mostly left groups of people. As we know not everyone is right or left so it’s hard to make popular movies when they aren’t trying to include everyone.
I knew it wasn't that much investment after they released one trailer and nothing else. I read the budget for marketing was used on Panther and Avatar and that's a shame
@@ravioli-bamboli I'm pretty sure people on the right and left have rocky relationships with their dad's where they're trying to force their life onto their kids. Like most of the recent animated projects (Strange World, Turning red, Encanto) are about family turmoil, which is a universal experience I think.
@@ravioli-bamboli actually I think that it's much more likely that, because of the pandemic not allowing people to go outside to see the movies on the cinema and instead they choose to watch it at home there was a huge streaming boom that Disney tried to captalise on it, now people aren't watching movies on the theater as much but streaming also isn't doing too well so all the streaming services are all just trying to lower their cost/spending money and that makes it so they don't invest as heavily on marketing because to them it's just another expense on a doomed project
And just so you know around 70% of Americans are pro LGBTQ+ rights so I don't think that it's a huge left/right issue
I feel so bad for this movie I've actually seen the trailer back when it got a little bit of advertising and I liked it.....I honestly forgot about it until it came out....Disney is not even trying to hide it anymore they just don't care about movies that aren't "safe" for them
I remember seeing the teaser back in June. I was hyped. But I hated how it’s unfair that if a studio doesn’t put any diversity, they get criticized. If they do, they still get the same public reaction.
This is why I miss the 2000's and 2010's, even the 90's and 80's, and I wasn't even alive for those last 2! 😔
@@eko9554 Honestly i think people complain there's no diversity so they can seem like good people, then complain when there's diversity cus they didn't wanna see it in the first place, they just wanna seem good but idk if it's just me
It's entirely because of China. China is MASSIVE for box office numbers. If they can't cut out anything gay to show it to China, they don't care. They sent this movie out to die because they couldn't show it in China. China is significant for all of Hollywood now and they cater to them heavily.
@@elijahmeiognetesalinas7368 no I agree with you
I had no idea this came out, I randomly stumbled upon it and was so surprised and happy with this film. I loved the storyline, the color scheme of the world, the plot itself was a cool concept. The parents who think this is "inappropriate" because the main teen character is gay and therefore "sexualizing him" are the same ones who buy their 1 year old kids shirts that say "ladies man" on them.
You must be blind and have no taste you brain dead dumass
There are also shirts fo little girls that say "Sweet and Sexy" (By little I mean toddler age).
I watched this movie once with my family, and that gay "controversy" that everyone mentioned wasn't forced at all. The conversation between the characters felt natural throughout, and it was brought up only three times; it was not forced or anything. and if my cousin, niece, or nephew said they were gay, lesbian, or whatever they prefer, I would have said "okay cool" and give them an acceptance high five for coming out and just move on with my day, so for the movie I just overall liked it.
I just thought it was a shit movie and even more shit characters
Did you high five them for being straight? Pretty bigoted of you to not do that for all your straight friends. . .
Huh kind of abigoted move of you to think that pretty much sums up what you think about people in general regardless of what their sensuality is, thanks for outing self boo bear 😘😉
@@oswaldocabrera8356 Lol i dont think you know what the word bigoted means :'D The way you act if someone is gay they actually achieved something of importance haha
@@gamedrop3262 huh okay so how would you handle it if someone you know tells you that they are either gay, bi or lesbian, please teach me change my mind
The double-standards are hilarious, I remember growing up and seeing live-action Disney shows about teens crushing on each other, some shows had full on teen make-out sessions. Nothing wrong with that? But now that there’s the possibility of same-sex crushes is too much? I’m straight but the hypocrisy is wild.
I was baffled by the hate and also couldn't believe it's just because the character was gay but I think you're completely right. I had no clue about its existence and the only ones talking about it were the people who got "offended" by it. Crazy that people will dig out the most obscure movies possible just to shit on it, they won't like one little thing and then tailor everything they see to support their trash arguments.
I actually hated this movie.
@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong
It's okay to dislike or even hate the movie, just don't use weird arguments like, "this movie had a gay person." That's stupid and homophobic.
@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong Care to say why? I'm not gonna force you to like it, frankly I don't care, it just seemed like a normal, harmless little movie.
@@Synthia17 it was WAY too short. I felt like there was all this insane creative worldbuilding and character concepts locked behind a feature film runtime. if it was a series it'd fix almost all my issues. I also felt like the dialogue sometimes ruined the scene. like the one with the giant eye, I just wanted the movie to hold still on that moment instead of trying to make a joke. Also the kids crush has some fuckin trolls hair and it bothers me more than It should
@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong Now that's very fair
It's pretty obvious that people stressing about the gay relationship being below 18 is because everyone views being gay as a fetishistic thing rather than, you know, an instinct

@@hondaaccord1399 ah. That would’ve explains it.
I watched the movie with my family on New Years' Eve, and we all had a good time! I really loved the visuals and the design, as well as the whole vibe of the movie. The teen kid being gay wasn't even a core concept, the main themes of the movie were environmentalism and how the way we're raised affects how we raise our kids. It wasn't anything mind-blowing to me like Atlantis: The Lost Empire or Treasure Planet, but it was fun and colorful and funny enough.
as a lesbian. i enjoy representation. i dont want a characters main identity and personality to revolve around them being gay/lesbian. like bruh we just normal people who do normal things, just happen to like the same sex. like represent us like that.not make our sexuality the center point.
I 100% agree with that. I might be hetero biromantic so my opinion might not have much weight, but I agree. Personally, I would love to see a sitcom about a lesbian couple raising a family together and dealing with the every day struggles that comes with most people and couples. Perhaps one mother is the head of a small business who is constantly at odds with the mega corporation just down the road from where she works. The other mother could be an aspiring writer, who write beautiful stories, but has difficulty finishing them. Give them a son and a daughter who deal with the same every day struggles at school: fitting in, having crushes, bullying, etc. However, the family would deal with additional struggles simply because the parents are a same sex couple. This shouldn't be a thing in every episode, but it's something to add every now and then. Although this is taken from a meme I came across a long time ago, I would laugh if the son lost in a video game and immediately cries "Mom!" One would respond, "What?" The son, a little annoyed, "Not you, the other one!" Would this sitcom come off rather generic? Probably, but it would be a great way of normalizing same sex relationships without all the drama.
Then why do have to shove it down every normal person’s throats retard
Disney will gladly sell merch with rainbows and market their 100th first gay character but won’t market a movie with a gay lead because they’d rather appear supportive to LGBTQ then really support them.
Yes!! They use it as a marketing strategy!!
The controversy for this one film is straight up stupid!
Conservatives: “Man, liberals get so triggered over everything! Such snowflakes amirite?”
Also Conservatives: “REEEEE!!! DISNEY TURNING OUR KIDS GAY!!!”
Yes! Including Baymax, Lightyear, and Little Mermaid remake.

I genuinely feel like the concept for this movie was extremely cool, and the movie overall was really cute, I’m sure for younger audiences, which is what the movie is marketed towards, they would probably think this movie is amazing. I truly truly believe that there was less marketing on this movie because of the fact that this one is ACTUALLY the first gay character in the Disney movie, that they explicitly talk about him liking boys (unlike other Disney movies where they say they have the first gay character but their sexuality is never actually talked about) and the diversity as well… we forget a lot of ppl who watch Disney, and the corporation to pay Disney, are racist as well as being homophobic

I watched this movie on Disney+ with my son. (52 and 22). We cared less about the homosexuality. Once it was out there, it wasn't mashed into our faces, nor did it make us feel any form of pressure. Which is just how we like it! Everyone should feel comfortable watching a family movie. We were both surprised that the Grandfather was so very accepting, not just accepting, of the grandson's sexuality. Reason: the movie was not clear on the fact that a person's sexuality was like "breathing air' Something Unquestioned. Being used to our times, we were surprised, but then let it pass. Deciding that; "This reality and these people have accepted people as they are. Cool cool" ...
What we hated and had issue with was the absolute smothering of just how much COUNSELING this family needed. I have watched movies based specifically on that subject and it was less smothering than this movie. (Little Miss Sunshine for example.) It got old fast, and they never listened to one another. I know that is why I had a shock moment when the grandfather could just automatically accept the grandson being homosexual, but not the Rest of (everything else that they have issues with) things.
And there it is: I don't like it cause they were (IMO) dumb. 🤷
THANK YOU!!! I’m also VERY HAPPY that they didn’t push in our faces that they were gay, the story was very bland and typical. Yes the family definitely was something else, but nonetheless I didn’t mind the movie but I also didn’t love it. It was a movie I could tolerate and didn’t push so much onto us with the pressure of “oh look this character is gay!!!” And politics. It was a very slight breath of fresh air
@@spikypikachu1162 you’re so miserable and stupid. Nothing is being pushed on you idiot. Lgbt aren’t politics dumbass
I have the same thoughts. The story isn't terrible by any means, it's just not my cup of tea. But people having such a huge issue with the main character's sexuality is just honestly so depressing.
What is "mashing it into your faces"? The mom and dad openly flirt and kiss in the movie, isn't that pushing their sexuality onto people, too?
@@choux8372 My personal "Mashing it into 'your' face" is where it is more than a general showing of affection (I.E: Kiss, (just the lips), hand holding, hugs [usually the family kind/Significant Other kind])
To shove into my face and force things upon me (with any type of sexuality) or pile it up on me like a mound of too much anything; that's Mashing, Too Much, Inundated etc.
While going to see movies we All (yep, every single one of us) have specific expectations to see/experience different things with individual movies. A Horror Movie: I expect to have horror, not a Romance. I go to specific types to see specific things.
Shove/Mash/Crushed/Choked; name it what you want, and feel how you want. IF the parents kissing is, to you, the movie and company, "mashing" Heterosexuality, into your face, then that is Mashing, to you. To me, it is pretty Usual for Society on a general level. (Keeping P.D.A discomfort out of this as THAT is a whole separate discussion, this discussion is NOT that.)
When I go onto Computer Media/Mass Media, and look through it, I Personally feel that the sexuality of the World is Mashed into my face. I now, literally, have to avoid a huge portion of the Media due to that. Again: PERSONAL OPINION.
To some person or people out in the world, yes, the parents flirting and kissing is Mashing. To me, no. Having said that, by your question you also knew that is not what I was getting at. People are individuals, and some won't mind the parents affections, others will. As the old adage goes: Opinions are like A**holes, everyone has one. And my opinion is just as good or bad as the next persons.
The Point I was making: The story was stinky BECAUSE: they were all selfish, and didn't listen to one another, or take into consideration other people's feelings, or even Ask one another what they each wanted. The son being homosexual ... that didn't make the movie bad. I was actually good with that. NOT the rest.
My brother and I were upset over the exact opposite thing. The lead didn't kiss his love interest at the end, and you KNOW if it was straight they totally would've kissed.
Good point.
The same things that boy/girl couples do on TV gay couples can't do, it suddenly becomes more inappropriate when they're the same gender
Yeah, but more kids might be allowed to see it if their parents are homophobic if there is no kiss, plus Encanto did the same thing with moving away from teenage sex and kissing. The girl that ends up in a relationship is 21. They're emphasizing love and care over making physical intimacy a goal or trope (like, 'did you guys go to home base, yet?' pressure). It's circumventing any exploitation accusations very cleverly. Now ppl have to face... love vs their own hate and homophobia.
Same
The only valid complaint I’ve heard from a family that saw it is the young kids couldn’t follow the energy plot. The kids weren’t super young either, like 8-10. But that’s barely a complaint, a lot of movies have plots that are more relevant to the parents while the move itself is just entertainment for the kids
It's honestly funny that people are complaining about Ethan being gay because you already know if Disney made the dad or grandpa homophobic people would have a huge problem with that too. All in all the movie is great and just because a character is gay doesn't mean kids can't watch it
Gay
I’ll never understand the mindset about mindset behind people thinking a same sex couple existing is inappropriate for children
@funny videos How would it confuse them?
@funny videos Pretty sure if your kid asks, you could just tell them that boys can have crushes on boys and that’ll be the end of it
@user-kr5de9hi5q Relationships are confusing. Straight or otherwise. Shielding them from that won't do them any favors.
@funny videos then how come gay people exist after watching straight couples on TV their entire lives? TV doesn't change people's sexuality dumbass.
@funny videos if same sex couples are “confusing” to you that’s your problem.. I was taught ab gay couples when I was only 8 (and probably even b4 that) and I wasn’t even faced by it at all
Ironic how in my country (Italy) I've been seeing so many commercials about this movie everywhere and companies even using the movie to sponsorize themselves. Like the one where a train company use a mother and her son that after watching the movie have to go home and they have to take this train to live a new adventure and while waiting for their stop they can play Ethan roleplay game lmao.
For once they actually clearly sponsorize the movie very well here (and even more than Encanto actually, probably because now cinemas are open again).
Me personally I really enjoyed this movie especially the ending :D
the ending was very good!

Me and my buddy went into this because we expected the movie to suck...but were pleasantly surprised. We don't usually look too deeply into movie reviews, because it's a good way to spoil nowadays but anyways.
Spoilers Below:
My buddy and I kept pointing out that all of the creatures didn't really act like animals, and acted more like cells (After calling the rolly tentacle things Shoggoths for fun) ...turns out we were damn right lol. Was fun to see that concept. Aaaand on a side note, this is the first technically Biopunk movie we've seen. So that was nice to.
They’re confused on the grandpa being supportive when the movie is literally called “strange world”? Lol, yeah, it’s a strange world cuz there’s zero racism and zero homophobia. I wish to live in a Strange World one day

Cry about it
@@Botani85858 cry about what 💀
Cry 😭😭😭
Actually heavy racism, but if you said what it was or how it worked, people would call you vile because what black people actually have to say doesn't matter. The public narrative on how black people and general audiences should feel means more than the reality of what is going on.
“Animated movies are only for kids” uhm… Puss in Boots 2 (has become one of my favorite movies)… Megamind, all How to Train Your Dragon movies, Kung Fu Panda trilogy, Puss in Boots 1, Shrek 1, 2 and 4 (ignore 3). That’s just dreamworks movies that appeal to almost anyone. Almost all of Pixars movies are amazing for all ages. Disney animated movies definitely do lean towards younger kids more but adults can definitely enjoy them too. I will never understand how Disneys last CEO could say animated movies are for kids only.
Edit: I can’t believe I forgot Spiderverse or Bad Guys
I went to see this in theaters with my friend and we really loved this film.
The animation is beautiful, the designs are really creative especially for the world and I like the message of generational differences and how the solution is to find a middle ground.
Also want to point out some hypocrisy here. Everyone says that two gay characters flirting for 3 seconds is "too sexual"
Meanwhile other movies lets take the 90's Addams family films for example (which I adore btw)
Mortica and Gomez openly flirt with eachother in every scene they're in but no one says oh thats too sexual because its a hetero couple.
Bella a 17 year old falls in love with a centuries old vampire? "Oh how romantic"
Seriously wtf is people's problem?
There are many different kinds of relationships and they deserve to be represented equally not just hetero couples.
okay guys who's gonna help start the petition to make every movie that mentions a crush PG-13
No r rated

THANK YOU!! I wanted to make a video about this! I can't believe there aren't more videos about this. It's so apparent that the backlash is steeped in homophobia. I took my son to see this (he is 5) in theaters and he LOVED it we have watched it 4 times since it came out on disney +. I think it's better than "Lightyear" . I'm so sick of people calling things "woke" 🤮 seriously?!?! Are we still freaking out about people who want to live there live with a person of the same sex? Are we still doing that? Ughhh I just can't. Also and can't even count how many times people have come up to my son when he was like 3 calling him a "Heartbreaker" or asking him if he has a girlfriend? Wtf he's was a literal baby! Hetero people are always pushing weird sexual things on babies, but they are sooo angry about this. Give me a break
Your an amazing mom :-)
Heteros who are perpetually upseteros: "Jafar, a man in his 40's, wanting to bang a teenage girl less than half his age who he then forces into skimpy outfits? Totally fine to show to kids, not creepy at all that he wants to bang a girl he's known since she was born. A gay guy liking someone his own age? Sexual." Those same heteros: "Your 3 year old must be into other kids. No it's not weird of us to think about 3 year olds having romances, that's very normal. Everyone thinks of romance when they see toddlers, right? Right?"
Some people are just deeply messed up and do not understand that the weird way they view the world is not the way sane, well-adjusted people view it. God help me if I ever think of romance upon seeing preschoolers. That's some Chris Hansen, 'take a seat' type creepery.
It's because some people take the bible seriously and don't base everything on a THEORY not a fact
Exactly, you can't even have a lgbtq+ character without being called "Woke".
Facts
There is something to be said as well about how this movie seems to have entirely evaded its intended audience while in theaters, and instead found the people who are not its audience.
I think I saw entirely one ad for this movie, and that was it.
I wanna brag for a second. I had a proud parent moment with my seven year old kid. Firstly, I'm gay AF. So I took my son to see this because I think it's important to celebrate this animation and I can't be begging for more gay characters if I don't go support the ones that are thrown at me. So we go and see it and he LOVED it! Here's my proud moment. The scene when the too kids are talking and the main character gets flustered my son looks at me and says "mom, I think he likes him" and I'm like "yeah, me too!" And he goes "that's cute, he's nervous!" I wanted to cry because that means I've successfully made sure my son sees love and only sees love! I am so tired of hearing the narrative of this movie being inappropriate when I know for a fact there's kindergarteners out there pretending to have boyfriends and girlfriends. I personally loved the movie and how it included the whole "turtle island" native folklore in a way. I wish Disney would have promoted the damn thing. 😭😭😭😭
Congratulations! You just received the Parent of the Year award!
@@squidfromtheloft7894 fuckin a where do I pick it up at?
I'm not gay I am straight. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO ACCEPT THAT OTHER PEOPLE PREFER THE SAME SEX?!?! Like is it that big of a deal for someone who isn't you to love who they love? Is it that hard to accept a man can love a man the way a straight guy loves a woman?!?! It's the same exact thing.
It's such a shame that this movie was barely promoted and that people didn't like it just because of Ethan being gay. My friend and I actually *really* liked it a lot and it just makes me sad that just because of a gay character there was like- one trailer and that's it, no other promotion or anything
It’s just a shit movie
I saw this in theaters last weekend, and I really liked it!
The world is really interesting, and I like all of the characters. The only thing I don't like is that they just kind of.......show up in the world without much fanfare.
It's basically just "Well, I guess we're here now."
Disney CEO: "adults don't want animation"
Family guy, south park, rick & morty: do you think we were made for 8 year olds
The comments concerning the parent and grandparent not being more concerned or troubled about the kid's sexuality were asking for a more dramatic and realistic exploration of the many uncomfortable real world family dynamics that often occur.
To that the answer is: there is no way of approaching that topic without making the film more mature rated.
When a movie has a straight couple: Oh that's fine my kids can see that no harm done
When a movie has a gay couple: OH MY GOD THE HORROR SHIELD OUR KIDS EYES THIS IS HORRIBLE OH MY GOD AHHHHHHH!!!!
Its not that u dumb cake, how do u explain something so unnatural to a child? Can u explain to me why people are gay?
@@ritajingoku50 Because they're attracted to people of the same gender, moron. Not exactly a monumental idea to overcome.
Gotta love when RUclips says your comment has replies but it won't actually show you what they are
@@Mumble8988I've gotta reply to this year old comment and say I laughed my ass off to this. Also, love the profile, dude.
A film like this should be advertised and supported. It can show the kids that it's okay to like someone of the same sex and to focus on their future. The film is actually very fun to watch as long as you don't mind the gay characters and parents not caring about their child's sexuality.
The fact that he was gay was so irrelevant to the movie that I didn't think about it 95% of the time. The dog with the missing leg was more present to me. People are insane and sensitive lmao. It wasn't even a theme!
No what I think should happen is that it’s whatever. Don’t push that stuff to it. And that isn’t just same sex stuff, it’s other stuff too. It ruins the movies/shows. Personally I don’t care about any of it, you do you, but I don’t want politics or shit in the films and say “it’s ok” I don’t care. I want to be entertained, not be lectures through a film. That’s why I refuse to watch certain movies that basically enforce that stuff. It ruins the whole “magic” and “fun” out of it. Makes it a misery to watch. The story is also ruined due to it pushing the message of that.
@@spikypikachu1162 I don't really get how a gay person existing in a movie is "being pushed on you."
@@spikypikachu1162 how is talking about lgbt related to politics? How is it “not okay”? How does it ruin movies? You say you presumably aren’t homophobic yet you made the most outrageous comment just now and thought it was okay. The way your brain works is odd you hav emo actually be stupid.
@@spikypikachu1162 how is it pushing it on you? 98% it's not even talked about, a gay character existing isn't politics. he's just gay, that's it, there's no hidden agenda behind that
I'm not even halfway through, but I just want to get this out of my system.
I got Disney+ for christmas and went on a binge watching all the movies I couldn't previously.
Strange World was one of them.
And I was so confused because I had never even heard of that movie, no mentions of it anywhere.
I loved it. I loved the visuals, the characters (specifically Ethans mom, she's cool) and the concept of three generations, a grandfather, a father and a son, adventuring together and dealing with their family issues.
literally every single character in the movie was chill with Ethan liking that boy, his grandfather didn't even hesitate after hearing Ethan calling his crush a him and jumped straight to silly advice.
It's not even a plotpoint, the total of Ethan talking about that boy probably makes up 0.5% of that movie duration (that's like a minute!)
There are about 4-5 kisses between his parents Searcher and Meridian, and not a single one between Ethan and his crush
ugh. Those people hating on the movie solely based on the fact Ethan likes a boy pretend the whole story was about that
I actually enjoyed this movie, it's really sad that it has had like, zero marketing. It had good representation but even if it didn't have it was still a pretty enjoyable experience .it's just sad that some people can see 2 teenage boys have a cute little crush and act like its satan or something
Lol people fr still calling a movie bad for having a gay character
I know Disney usually sucks ass at representation but they finally did it right, and yet everyone is still upset
8:12 “I can’t stop thinking about gay sex”-bionicpig 2023
All I'm gonna say is that every adult was a child once. And looking back at those Disney Classics will make any adult cry.
So I'm sorry Bob Chapek but no.
Animation is never a waste of time.
I never used to cry at any movies when I was a kid, now I cry at pretty much everything that hits me hard. Coco, Frozen 2, Encanto, Raya even Strange World got me!
Watch Puss in Boots: Last Wish. One of the best animated movies. Like top 25 for me. It's also a great sequel but you can watch it without seeing the other. I believe it'd make a great review when it comes to dvd
both puss in boots are top 5 for me, I love them so much
Bro I've seen the movie FOUR TIMES, it's visually gorgeous, the story is amazing, the sound design is top tier,,, literally a perfect film
@@shelbythisisaresidentialar5397 I need to watch it again
Ok but seriously, watching that movie as a teenage boy who likes boys... I was almost in tears.
You should be ashamed of yourself freak 🤮🤮
I didn’t care about the gay kid I’m gay myself but I died laughing at the overarching story “we’re killing the planet”
Every time I think our world is improving and moving more toward acceptance, I see comments like that top comment and I am brought back to reality. So what if the main character is gay? So what if someone is gay? I really don't understand what is so horrible about people being gay. They aren't hurting anyone by being gay. Maybe the people who have a problem with it are secretly butthurt cause the gay people don't find them attractive. Thats my head cannon now cause i cant stand the unwarrented hate
After watching the whole video I can't believe you could condone such sexual acts of giggling and uh slight flirting between two men
Giggling before marriage is a sin
@@BrandEver117 g-gi-GiGgliNg? 😨😨
🤮🤮
Strange World was so good. It one of my favorites of the year. The family felt so real with their interactions.
The comic animation in the beginning was so cool. And I liked all of the design of the creatures and the inside world.
I literally just watched the movie half way through your video, and I gators say it is solid. Definitely didn't deserve the hate it got, and a really cool subtle message about how the more we advance in technology the further we go into killing our planet.
It’s still a shit movie
I don't think anyone really even knew this movie existed until all the "go woke. go broke." dorks starting flipping out about it. They did more marketing than Disney
Honestly, the fact the Ethan is gay was handled perfectly fine. It barely registered with me aside from an "Awwww, cute!" I was angrier at how much of a deadbeat dad Jaeger was. After 25 years of not seeing his son, all he can do degrade him for being a farmer and not following in the footsteps of the father who abandoned him for his own ego? Oh heck nah! Even at the ending i was like, "Ooh no no no, YOU have 25 years worth of trauma to make up for. Everyone, GO TO THERAPY!" 🤬😡
Also, Grandma Penelope looks amazing! Total queen! 😍
I saw this movie with my family and we enjoyed it! Sad that Disney didn't put enough effort in the advertisement 🥺
one suggestion for people considering which film/tv show to watch is to never judge something by an imdb rating. on imdb this film's rating is 4.8 with the majority of the reviewers putting one star for the movie. if that isn't petty behavior, idk what is
Thanks a lot for this review! It's honestly so jarring to see everyone talking shit about this movie only because one of the main characters is LGBT+, and the part that puzzled me the most about all the excesive hate is that Ethan being gay isn't even a main plot point. They didn't make the whole movie about it nor did they base his entire personality around his sexual orientation. Heck, I believe Ethan's crush isn't even on the trailer. One of the characters has an innocent crush on a person (of around the SAME AGE as them so that whole "underage" argument is nonsensical) and everyone is already bitching their lives out because of it. That's just so childish, immature and hateful. I feel bad for all the people that worked in the production of this film. It's obvious that those people poured their hearts into the project and did their best so this movie could entertain and even inspire other people, and unfortunately thanks to Disney's poor (and cowardly) marketing decisions and the general public hating even the mention of the word "gay" now the product of their efforts has been continuously trashed and a lot of people will be discouraged from watching it. I don't have Disney+ rn but I'm sure I'll get around to watch it someday; Strange World seems like a nice, cozy movie. Once again, thank you for talking about this and giving your honest opinion on the topic! This is the first video I watch of you but I'm sure I'll be staying around for more--I enjoy your style!
Dude, Guillermo Del Toro said it best himself, Animation is a medium, it isn't just for kids, as it can tackle some very dense themes that even adults need to better understand.
it seems this movie attracted more LGBTQ+ haters than disney lovers
i love how so many of the critiques are just freaking out over the movie being gay ☠️
A moment of silence for those who didnt know of Strange World.
I heard about it in June since then.
meh. haven't cared about disney for a few years now.
Very strange. Dare I say, extremely discombobulating.
We really live in a Strange World...
The age controversy is the most idiotic of the bunch!
There are many coming of age films and tv shows out there that star 16-19 year olds characters,
Call me by your name, heartstopper and young royals (just to name a few) Fricken, Will from Stranger Things is gay. All ranging from PG13-R rated.
I just find it weird how no one really bats an eye at these films and tv shows. But, when it’s in an animated form and produced by Disney, then it’s a whole big thing! It’s just to stupid.
Just wanna say it... Heartstopper was absolutely amazing. Gave me the confidence to come out! Also, just a really good narrative in general.
To be fair from experience with my friends, and as someone part of the LGBTQP+ community, talking to your family about being gay for the first time is not always as simple as "they immediately accept you". Often times your parents will have some questions and will want to talk to you, so the movie portraying the father and grandfather as just outright accepting is a bit unrealistic. But it is CERTAINLY NOT offensive.
Personally, I thought the overall movie was okay and seemed to be aimed at a younger audience than I was used to from Disney movies, making it feel a bit too simplified for my taste. The pacing was awkward, especially in the middle and the animation wasn't anything new. On the other hand, I have no doubt that this will end up being some kids' favorite movie due to the world and fun technology with a very positive theme running though it that gives the movie value. Overall, not for me, but definitely not the worse either.
Also, I think the gay representation in this is actually very good and well executed.
I can agree with that assessment, I liked the film fine, I enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the world and the characters, but yeah the plot is pretty bare bones and the script could have used like 1 more draft to just tighten up some pacing issues.
We must share the great Pig's content. The world must know animation is NOT JUST FOR KIDS OKAY?!?!?!? This is a PSA, share with everyone (including that weird guy you always see in the elevator, he deserves to know too)
Im a big fan of sci fi and animated films. So I definitely loved the world that this film created and the story. I very much enjoyed the plot twist at the end of the movie. However, I also happen to care about not normalizing homosexuality to children. I dont teach children to hate gays, but I do want my kids to learn essential traditional values that I believe are important. That said, I agree that the movie isnt "shoving" gayness down the throat of the viewers, and I did enjoy most of it. I just wouldnt take a young kid to see the movie.
I honestly Think it was just hated on cause he was gay and *Black.*
People getting mad at shows and movies making a character’s only personality trait them being gay but then getting mad when a character is gay but it’s just casually mentioned instead and isn’t made into a big deal and ya know the gay character is actually a character. I thought they portrayed Ethan pretty well i overall thought it was a cute movie with a good plot and obviously it’s okay if the movie isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but if it’s only because Ethan being gay is brought up 3 times then y’all got some issues💀
I've never heard of strange world until now...
I only knew of it the day before I went and there was a kid in the screening, really didn't help that I wanted to leave.
I heard Strange World back in June when the teaser was released.
Honestly, I think the fact that this movie was marketed so poorly really emphasized the fact that the blatantly not-so-subtle homophobics had no "pushback", since people who are allies or don't care about sexualities didn't have any incentive to see the movie, but the homophobic group had the incentive to "find something to hate on". There was no push-back wave or many reviews from non-homophobic people, so many of the public reviews are just that - homophobic.
Disney did this movie wrong. They pretended it didn’t exist and then feigned shock when it didn’t make much money. My friend is half black, half white and gay (literally the main character) and didn’t know about this movie until the week of release. When he asked his mom if she’d heard of it, she thought he was talking about Stranger Things.
Personally, I loved the film. I thought the animation was gorgeous, the family dynamic was done really well, and I enjoyed the story. But I get why conservatives hated it. Same reason they ban books: they don’t agree with it so it’s bad bad bad!!
This show a lot about how hateful people are. It isnt like being gay is the only significant thing about the character. Its just the fact that the character is gay that everybody has a problem with
I am a 28 year old man and my movies consists solely of anime, animated movies and so on. How does someone who doesn't think animated movies is for everyone end up as the head of Disney?????
I am gay and I Loved this movie so much. It felt so genuine cause Ethan was me as a teen. Difference being I suffered for it and was disowned for it. If I had movies like this as a kid, I would have been able to accept myself sooner. I loved seeing Ethan just be treated as a person and it is SICKENING that these people are sexualizing CHILDREN when there is nothing like that in this movie. This sexualizing of gay people for just existing needs to stop. Beautiful movie teaching kids to be more kind and tolerant.
I first watched Strange World with my 3 year old and then again with my other kids after school! The moment I saw Ethan was gay I just had a feeling like "yea, this is why they didn't market hard..." Which is BS! I enjoyed this movie a lot!
I saw a trailer for this movie once before it came out and I thought it looked cool but I wasnt going to see it in theaters because the concept could be hit or miss and i could just watch it on Disney+. Once I did watch it though I really liked it. Definitely underrated and I wish more people knew about it
To be honest I liked Strange World, the fact they traveled thru an animal's body and didn't realize it was pretty cool twist story. I think the movie was creative and even though the main character was gay didn't make me or my two kids walk out of the theater when we saw it like some others did. The only movie I think tested it's waters was Lightyear with the gay kiss but there's other things in the movie that turned me off besides that, it just didn't feel like a buzz lightyear Toy Story vibe.
As a completly straight 16y old male, like straighter than straight, I really didn't mind it too much. I defiently figured it out pretty soon, but it didn't affect the movie too much for me.
exactly! it really wasn’t that big of a deal. if ur looking for it, you will notice he’s gay, but if not , you can’t really tell. it’s still a good movie gay or not
I watched this movie with my kids and it was the most enjoyable movie from Disney they've ever seen. It got my lil ones interested in biology and the immune system and gave my husband and I this vague nostalgia about osmosis jones. My teenagers liked it as much as any teenager would enjoy a little kids film
Twitter: cancels people for hating gay people.
Also twitter: Hates movie because of gay character
Nah, everybody on the political spectrum is on Twitter, so the left and right are on there Being mad at stupid shit
I went from “people hate this movie?”To “I didn’t even know this movie existed until I saw it on my D+.”
I remember when chapter 3 of the last of us (the series) came out, and everyone was complaining about the chatacters being gay, while I found that episode to be beautiful and tearing up. I'll never understand why they can't just enjoy other's happiness or accept the fact that gay people exist
The twist ending is searcher Clade and jaeger clade start making out and falling in love
The whole “why is the grandfather so accepting” argument is hilarious. When i came out to my grandma she was the same way brooo. Instead of questioning WHY im bi and have a crush on a guy, she questions why i like the guy, is he the right guy for me. Stuff like that, didnt try and convince me that im going thru a phase, she didnt do anything like that. She was just curious about her grandsons lovelife
If anyone's interested I think Saberspark does a great analysis of this movie, definitely a great watch if you're into that sort of thing
Honestly I've seen people hate on the movie and I didn't even know there was anything about the main character being gay. All I heard is that Disney didn't push it and people didn't love it. Really nobody online talked about it unless they wanted to dunk on it
Ariel was 15, Snow White was like 12 or 13, Jasmine was 16. All hooked up with much older men during musical numbers, of whom didn't make the SLIGHTEST attempt at hiding their intention for these women. Does anyone remember "Kiss De Gurl?" How many films by disney have been about boys slobbering over girls on screen? Yet that was 'appropriate for a kids film?' Do you even REMEMBER what kind of clothes Jafar slapped Jasmine into at the end? How old was he, like, 47? But this one is where people lose their shit?Yet that was 'appropriate for a kids film?"
The entire goal of equal rights within a culture is where we get to the point that we don't care about a person's race or their romantic life choices. It's just everyday news, who gives an F? It SOUNDS like that's what this film attempted to do, which got _those people_ with their hackles up. I bloody hate this era.
For me my gripe wit the movie is that it was simply just really boring to me. It felt hella jus under developed, could’ve lived without it. And it felt like Disney wasn’t confident bout this movie too which is part of why I think they barley pushed it
Why are they all using the “underage” qualifier like there’s an age requirement for being gay? I’m gay and can confirm that I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember.
Same. Ive been bi since i was 5. I distinctly remember crushing on boys and girls my whole life, but i didnt know that boys were an option so i just kept it to myself...
As i got older and learned about gender identity, i updated my label to pan.
We indeed are born this way.
Disney mum reaction: *Shocked* HUH! A GAY CHILD!?
No, but seriously. I was bullied as a kid for being lesbian before I was even knew I was a lesbian. Thanks for giving people the confidence to represent themselves just through a RUclips comment.
It’s a fine movie, it’s not that good, but it’s not that bad, it’s worth a watch, just boring, also it’s obvious Disney didn’t hide it since they did the same thing with that new Pixar movie, Elemental.
