Strange World Was A Massive Flop for Disney
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2022
- Strange World is the new movie from Walt Disney Animation Studios for Thanksgiving weekend. It's also doing horrible at the box office right now. In a flop reminiscent of Treasure Planet, Disney's Strange World is losing the company millions of dollars. Here's what happened.
Disney doesn't typically do sci-fi stories, but Strange World was a breath of fresh air that followed the footsteps of Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire. While it was great to see Disney take another risk in making Strange World, things didn't work out in the end. What happens next for Walt Disney Animation Studios? Can they bounce back?

It's out?
Yeah. Hey Disney, y'all really messed up with the marketing :(
@@Vailskibum ikr
I didn’t know it was out until this morning
Man I was gonna ask the same thing
IKR
One thing I notice is that even with some people that I know who knew about the film’s existence, many didn’t find the story interesting. I feel like the premise wasn’t too interesting for people to look at and after how my family was emotional over Encanto, the general audience prefers the fairly tale/culture style movies that Disney makes
My main issue is that it looks too similar to the other recent Disney movies. Disney is really struggling with Same face syndrome rn
@@alchemistofsteel8099 true, I still might check it out idk.. but yeah the designs are not that amazing
Same. I knew about it months in advance, and had no plans to watch the movie. Even now, I have no plans on watching the movie as I m not big on adventuring movies
I actually really like the new artstyle and animation direction it feels like Sony
Honestly, I did see the trailer for this movie but it just looked SO generic. When I first saw it I thought it was from Blue Sky Studios or Illumination or something like that, not Disney. I mean some of the creature designs were cool, but other than that, the trailer just showed me... basic looking human characters finding a new world and meeting some long-lost famous family member with a message about family and being yourself and whatever, and it's literally called 'Strange World', like dear god, I couldn't think of something more generic even if I tried. They might as well have called it 'The Adventure' or something. The trailer didn't even make it look like an actual movie to me, it looked like one of those fake movies that the characters would be watching inside of another movie.
Disney really needs to improve their marketing on newer movies
It’s like if a character isn’t wearing a pretty dress, it’s not worth it
Hopefully the new CEO can maybe help 🙃
They need to stop trying to groom children
I haven’t seen it yet cuz I’m sick hope it’s on Disney plus so I can watch! But I wish they just cared about this beautiful movie and had more interesting trailers. I love how the dog only has 3 legs that just makes it amazing because there aren’t always perfect dogs, there are dogs with health issues, no leg, look “weird” & more. That is one thing I like about this movie and also the aesthetic, it’s beautiful.. This looks like an movie from art. Ok bye
@@blue-cloud-studios you’re being too hopeful and naïve sadly
I’ll be honest, I was exited for this movie but I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE IT ALREADY CAME OUT!
Same, honestly I am just waiting for it to come out on Disney Plus now that I missed it.
I didn’t even know it existed o_o
@@skepbeans Same.....

I will have the same reaction as you when it comes out free to watch
Welp, there goes a movie that could have been a cult classic but now fails to Disney’s own hand
It could easily become a cult classic over time, especially on Disney+

Speaking of lack of promotion yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Treasure Planet one of Disney's most underrated films in my opinion. With more promotion and different release date Treasure Planet could have done better and that soundtrack is dope
At least Treasure Planet has Happy Meal toys at McDonald's
memories of my childhood and thanks for saying it.
It was also intentionally wasn't well promoted, but for different reason - Disney wanted to switch from 2D to 3D animation
@@mihailos8701 Treasure Planet Animated Movie is owned by SPA Studios and Disney in the year 2002 and they decided to make it in 2D Animation.
that movie could have easily become a classic if only it got the promotion it deserved... truly an underrated gem
I heard about how Disney sabotaged Treasure Planet's success which failed in the box office but was loved by fans. I can't believe they did something like that again.
Allegedly. More importantly, stop blaming the lack of marketing. Lightyear flopped in spite the money for marketing going there. At some point you have to just face reality. Disney can no longer rely on what has been its most consistent source of revenue for decades: normal families.
@@SirBlackReeds Maybe part of it's all the gay ppl, those are a no-go for way more people than you'd think

"Did the movie flop because we failed to market it?"
"No, it must be the audiences who don't want originality."
For real, he can't admit that the movie is failing because it's just a bad movie.
It flopped because of homophobia and transphobia! According to the cuckservatives, there was too much transgender representation they didn't like! You know how those people get! This movie was awesome!
@@DANCERcow You sounded like those Holywood celebrities whining about "The movie is failed because of the audience is Racist/homophobe/misintagonist etc."
When the companies started caring more about the gender politics rather than entertaining their audience, (which is their job) they were already doomed, of course they were going to fail and will keep failing until things change.
@@DANCERcow oh great here goes this godforsaken narrative 🙄
Every time a film like this combs they always blame it on us being bigots, intolerant, racists, homophobes, ect.
Clownfish TV is almost always right about situations like these
And before you attack me I AM bisexual so Don’t even try the homophobia card on me
@@DANCERcow it flopped because people don’t want that shit shoved down our throat! We tired of the kid drag shows and bs! Go get your booster!
I blame it on the fact they announced it would stream on Disney+ 30 days after release date and poor advertising
they did that with Encanto, I watched Encanto on Disney plus while the rest of my family watched it theaters. (30 days is not a long time especially when you don't got time.)
I agree. Most ppl aren't going to use their money going to theaters when you can see it on Disney+ in a month.
@@everettatwater2939 Encanto went to Disney+ because of COVID numbers spiking and Disney feared theaters would close so they rush it to Disney+. Which help gained the movie’s popularity because it was tanking in theaters.
I only saw advertisements for Strange World 3 TIMES. For a Disney movie, this is insane. I mean I get the "focusing on Wakanda and Avatar", but it's almost like they shrugged it off and went "Well, we're getting money anyways!" and let it be.
Definently giving this a watch when I get the chance.
They didn't seem to promote Disenchanted much either since I never even saw an advertisement for it and only found out about it a few days ago
@@ZekeorSomething what? I've actually heard if that once i think, but it was very short and had about nothing about it
@@ZekeorSomething This is the first time I'm hearing of it, when was it released?
Why do they even bring back Avatar? That movie aged so badly that it should have been left in the shelf.
I saw it ONCE
Disney: We don't make sci-fi, adventure-themed movies because nobody watches them
Also Disney: *Purposely reduces amount of promotions*
Next thing you know, Disney will stop making these kinds of movies all-together just because of their own choices 😔
Disney is like that annoying neighbourg that tries to make a point then proced to do everything in their power to make it happen just so they can claim they were right despite the fact they actually proved nothing.
I’m glad they are finally admiring what they made weren’t Star Wars movies
And on top of telling NOBODY about it they put it on the same time frame as Wakanda expecting them to compete with the biggest movie ever
It's like what they did with Treasure Planet
Does anyone actually care about this movie though? Seems pretty boring
The initial trailer where it started like a classic black and white scifi movie was hype, and the enviroment looked amazing, kinda sad that it wasnt that good marketing wise
More marketing wouldn't have made a difference. Look at what happened with Lightyear.
These people have destroyed Disney just like that. Disney has been a shell of it’s former self for years now. 😂
yeah XD
It’s been a shell of its former self once they realized what can actually make them money
It’s because they don’t want any toxic white males involved
It’s disneys fault they fell off.
@@Bijo69 Why are you blaming it on women?.... No one said that and no one is kicking men out of the studio. The directors at Disney were all men. They only had one female director. That's the real problem.
I feel so bad for the cast and crew of strange world
Yeah..
@TheGlassesPro yeah that's true and sad 😔
At least they get paid regardless if the movie does well or not
Don't. They all saw how bad that script was and agreed to the picture anyway. Besides, Dennis Quaid still has the Reagan biopic.
@@Schaemia Not much payment though. Remember they're likely being given only the minimum wage.
Disney animation: Makes sci-fi adventure movie instead of fairy tale musical.
Walt Disney Company: Barely gives it any promotion whatsoever.
Sci-fi adventure movie: Crashes and burns at box office.
Walt Disney Company: (surprised Pikachu face)
This reminds me exactly what happened with Treasure Planet. For whatever reason Disney is just ok with letting some movies flop because they wanted to push marketing to other projects at the time.
It wasn't just the marketing that failed Treasure Planet. Disney literally put Treasure Planet against the FIRST HARRY POTTER and it LOST. Not only that, but I see Treasure Planet as an early summer film, to get kids hyped about vacation time and the adventures they could have themselves through the summer. Instead, it was released in the middle of winter...
It’s weird that every time Disney does a sci-fi film, it’s always a bomb! (Well, except for Lilo and Stitch but its mainly Hawaii stuff)
Lilo and stitch is such a classic, definitely one of my favorite childhood movies.
Does Big Hero 6 count as a sci-fi movie?
@@Bitsy83 well, kinda yes, but it is more of an superhero movie
The good dinosaur is a sci fi film
Even Wall•E (from Pixar) and also Big Hero 6 were also Science Fiction animated films that were successful at the Box Office.
Have you seen Strange World yet? 👀
Yes of course
No
No
No
Sadly, no :(
And for some reason, I saw a ton of Strange World advertisements during and after Thanksgiving
You can blame Bob Chapek for how Strange world went through during development. Sadly Strange World became a box office bomb 20 years after Treasure Planet.
Disney: (doesn't promote their own movie)
Also Disney: Why is no one seeing this movie?
Hopefully, with Bob Iger as CEO once again, more time and care will be put into the animation division.
And hopefully they stop putting LGBTQ characters in their movies.

Perhaps Strange World will be seen someday as a sibling to Treasur Planet. Both were competent films that were sent out to die, because Disney was going after bigger fish at the time.
Yes! Along with Atlantis. Some of my favourite movies 💜💜
No, it won't. Simply by virtue of the fact, Atlantis and Treasure Planet are actually good movies.
@@justanotherrandomfilipino9018
It’ll be seen as a cousin to Bolt or Fun & Fancy Free instead.
The only reason was prob because of the previous CEO. He wanted to put more money into the live action projects because he thought they would perform better, because he seemed to think animation was worthless, so he focused on other things. With him fired, maybe the next animated movie will get more traction.
He was also a conservative so probably also wanted the movie to flop since it had a gay person in it.
Did he forget Inside Out and Zootopia were two of the biggest animated hits of the last decade ?
Hell, both even won the Best Animated Feature Oscar
And yes, I do think Elemental looks cool and I hope it’ll still get a theatrical release despite this and Lightyear Bombing
@@RB01.10 I couldn't say for the Disney CEO's, but I believe Zaslav from Warner is also moving away from animation. It is, sadly, incredibly expensive in comparison, so the flops flop harder, and you get more projects just breaking even.
If Disney and Warner do step away from animation, I just hope they leave Japan and anime alone, unlike Sony who is making a monopoly here stateside with Funimation and Crunchyroll. If you can't do it right yourself, don't mess with others who can do it right.
@@ignorethis214 WB did put out Super Pets over the summer and that did do well (made $204 million off a $90 million budget).
Both critics and the general audience seemed to like it (I myself enjoyed it and saw it twice)
@@RB01.10 Well, since the rule of thumb is that marketing is equal to budget, they are only looking at roughly a 13 percent profit over the 2 or more years of investment. It might not be considered particularly successful.
From what I understand, most cartoons (though I know I'm changing the subject from movies) lose money, but you need a few absolute bombshell standout projects to not only make money, but to offset the losses on the losers.
I love animation, just looking into why these companies do what they do. Personally, I get most of my animation from anime. I'm not a fan of most Hollywood products right now.
I didn’t have a chance to see this movie yet in theaters, but I’m just going to watch it whenever it comes to Disney plus.
Same here
Welcome to the death of physical media. I hope the tit of the corporate beast can satisfy you

You and everyone else.
I think most people are going to do that when it comes to animated movies it really shows how much streaming services are prevailing
Now Disney knows that 3D animation will not always be a hit.
Finally they know
@@timerchOfficialyt i blame it on the gay kid, and the weird, bouncy animation.
Wasn’t that clear from lightyear? It was pretty heavily promoted in comparison
@@thekeeperofpromise Well, Lightyear is Pixar, They’re known for 3D.
Just go back to 2D Already
That’s GENUINELY what happens when you don’t advertise a movie properly. I mean, who else also didn’t realize this movie was a thing until like a few weeks (for me only two) before it was releasing in theaters?
I just want them to make 2D movies again. They had more charm and I just like 2D animation in general because it just seems more natural and expressive. That's why I've been liking disney channel shows from disney then their movies more since some of them use 2D animation. This is something I thought I would never say but holy moly it got to that point.
Same here! I’ve been enjoying their tv shows more than their movies lately. They seem to be able to get away with more and (like you said) they all have amazing 2D animation. Encanto was a good movie with awesome songs tho, I did like that one:)
I did like how this one had a 2D animation like opening.
But yes, more 2D animated films would be nice. The most recent example of a theatrical film I can think of is the Bob's Burgers Movie.
Would be amazing, but for the money I doubt it will ever happen again. Princess and the Frog was great tho
I watched it in theaters and loved it! It’s Disney’s fault for not pushing the trailers enough
I agreed (smh)
some people are gonna claim it's because the main character is gay,
even tho that was only revealed like a week before the premiere and there was barley any marketing.
@@steamboatwill3.367 honestly, the gay felt natural and not for marketing. I love that natural interaction like owl house has
@@KittyBGamingowl house doesn’t make it natural bro it’s right in your face and lowkey ruins the plot of the show.

To be honest, I was excited for this movie but I thought it was gonna release sometime in 2023 because I see no ads from it
Every Disney decade has had its infamous box-office bomb since Walt passed. The 70’s had Aristocats, the 80’s had Black Cauldron, the 90’s had-um…okay, ALMOST every decade-the 2000’s had Treasure Planet and Home on the Range, the 2010’s had Mars Needs Moms (it’s not part of the Disney Animated Canon but it IS one of the biggest Disney bombs) and now, sadly, the 2020’s has Strange World. Hopefully next year’s Wish movie can turn things around at the Mouse House.
The 90s had The Rescuers down under.
You forgot to mention that the 2010's had Winnie the Pooh, the last G-rated and 2D-animated Disney Animation film to this date, but that was due to competition with the last Harry Potter film.

@@goopyhead A documentary first aired on TV in 2005
Learning the news of _Strange World_ doing poorly at the box office, makes me saddened cause this is the first we ever had a science fiction film from Walt Disney Animation Studios. The obvious reasons (which you previously mentioned and now in this video) that _Strange World_ along with _Treasure Planet_ released 20 years ago and also _Lightyear_ released earlier this year didn’t do well at the box office was that all three films suffered from poor marketing from Disney's marketing department and another was the lukewarm critical reception. Another is that most people became more accustomed to watching the Animated films from Disney and Pixar on Disney+ over in Theaters, hence why the majority decide not to watch _Strange World_ and _Lightyear_ in theaters and wait for these films to arrive on Disney+.
Now compared to _Treasure Planet_ and _Lightyear_ which had heavy competition from other films (e.g _Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets_ & James Bond's _Die Another Day_ - Treasure Planet; _Top Gun Maverick_ & _Jurassic World: Dominion_ - Lightyear) resulting in them flopping at the Box Office, _Strange World's_ *ONLY* major competition was _Black Panther: Wakanda Forever._ However, due to the poor marketing, the lukewarm reception and Disney not choosing to release _Strange World_ in countries where LGBTQ+ is "Taboo" due to the character of Ethan Clade being gay and also Disney releasing the film as a Disney+ original in France (due to France's strict film regulations) this was a "nail to the coffin" for _Strange World._
I'm saddened on the film not doing well at the box office cause we haven't had to many Science Fiction Disney films Live-Action or animated, considering that outside of _Star Wars_ most of their original IP Science Fiction films (e.g. _Black Hole, Tomorrowland, Treasure Planet, John Carter, A Wrinkle In Time, Lightyear,_ etc.) just bomb at the box office and it makes me more concerned what's to come moving forward cause with Pixar's _Lightyear_ and now Disney Animation's _Strange World_ bombing at the box office it means Disney and Pixar won't be doing more Science Fiction animated films moving forward.
Maybe Sci Fi is not for Disney?
@@elusivenarwhal1996 they have like 11 star wars movies. Thats not the reason
Maybe because kids movie with gay character is not going to do well perhaps?
@@NoTimetoCry There are many movies that do not feature gay characters that still flopped.

@@NoTimetoCry
One of the most well recieved kid shows like owl house have gay characters. Nobody even knew one of the main character was gay until articles about it because *the movie has just recently came out* What child gets upset over a gay character???
Honestly, I’m starting to think that this movie won’t be available on every Disney+ either 😰
That can't be right. If Black Cauldron is on Disney+ then so will Strange World.
I think the opposite, actually. Due to it bombing the box office, they’ll probably pull the movie from theaters and just smack it on Disney+.
@@k_n_c_y What I meant to say is that, Lightyear is not available on Disney+ in the Middle East, all because of the movie’s inclusion of a same-sex couple. And they did this because of accordance to “local laws”, but what’s interesting to note is that live-action programming with LGBT+ themes are not banned (Doctor Strange 2 & Thor 4 were released there with 18+ ratings). Also, when Lightyear was released on Disney+ in Malaysia & Indonesia, they gave it an 18+ rating!
Kind of like how Nightmare Ned was apparently COMPLETELY written off for tax purposes... though they probably just wanted to get rid of it.
@@JamesLawner That scene in Lightyear is so small that you can easily cut it & it didn't serve any purpose.
Disney: **Puts gay messages in their movies**
Fans: You don't learn do you?
there nothing wrong of being gay!! i love thie movie since am gay! gay lives matter im so proud of disney doing this!!
The film is so creative and you can’t even find posters including most of the characters let alone pictures to reference for fan art.
It isn't. The production design looks like they just binged indie games over a weekend.
I feel like Disney wanted this to fail so they could write it off for tax purposes. Even the movies that go directly to Disney plus get more advertising than this one did. At least pixar won't feel too bad now that regular Disney movies can't break even either.
I swear I saw an ad for Ms. Marvel, a Disney+ show, every time I would watch a RUclips video or play mobile games. Meanwhile I haven't seen ANYTHING from Strange Worlds other than the trailer on RUclips 🫤
Would that mean it won't even be on Disney+?
@@ExtremeWreck It will be on disney plus in a few days. I think it can be classified as a loss specifically for cinemas, meaning as long as they don't try to put it back up on the big screen they should be fine.
@@unclefranklin4575 Nah the way you wrote it made me think of Nightmare Ned, which was said to be written off for tax purposes & therefore can NEVER be released officially ever again.
@@ExtremeWreck toonami tried making its own anime years ago, Igpx or something like that. It was eventually a tax write off, but years later they reran it no problem.
People complain about the lack of originality or wanting movies to stop banking on previous properties. But then they do this and watch the sequel to something else just to complain again. This is why Disney is often disappointing guys
Disney not only needs some original ideas, but they need a new art style. All their more recent movie characters are starting to look like carbon copies of the one before. I wish they ditched 3d (for the some part at least) and tried going into their amazing 2d animation (those old Disney princess movies were GORGEOUS).
I wish I could have seen it but my local theater that was in a old art deco building closed in 2020. I miss that theater I used to walk up to meet up with friends at the pizza place across the street and then we went to see a movie. I was home for the week because of break. There is a theater near my college but I don’t have to time to go and see stuff with finals. I feel like a lot of people are in similar situations as me. That may be impacting stuff too.
i have experienced the failure first hand. me and my family went to see it at theaters, and there was only 2 or 3 other groups watching. it was an afternoon slot during thanksgiving break...
Yeah I had the same experience, and I saw it this past Saturday. There was maybe 10-15 people made up of 3-4 groups of both kids and parents. Everyone seemed to enjoy it though
I think it’s the poor advertisement that made this movie flop. The same applied to Encanto, which had very little promotion for being the 60th Disney feature, and it did just okay I think at the box office when it came to theatres, only to become a huge hit when it got released on Disney+ and on music billboards, as well as sing-along rereleases. Hopefully with Iger back, he can probably give more advertising to Disney’s animated movies, but I’m just hoping right here. I’m not the biggest fan of him, but…
Encanto bombed mainly due to covid. Strange worlds was poor marketing.
Maybe it's not connected, but could it be Encanto's hype succes was actually insane. Going more back: Frozen 2 was also a massive succes. Disney was kinda expecting more hype after the first people watched it? Just a guess, and who knows it's getting insane hype after the release on Disney Plus. Even though it's been a rough year for Disney Company's animated projects... Lightyear a bit underperforming, controversy around Turning Red and Baymax!, rough welcome for Disenchanted. Sure there some successes (Solar Opposites, Zootopia+, Cars on the Road and Tales of the Jedi even though fans are laughing at the animation style), but over all it doesn't feel like last year with the insane quality for the Disney and Pixar movies. Just after the year from Soul.
God. Even if Bob Chapek is gone, the effects of the company he's caused are still gutting the company. Hopefully Bob Iger will put more love and care to these movies and for the future of animation, Bob Chapek will always be a disgrace to animation and Disney! He will not be missed at all!
It's so sad how Disney cares more about a diary of a wimpy kid remake than a new amazing movie
Those movies don't even have the cheese touch!
1st, marketing on it was horrible. I saw a brief promo with no plot and no date release. I assumed it was coming out in 2023!
2nd, I was more concerned about Thanksgiving with family, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and work. I wasn't even thinking of going out to the movies.
Disney sabotaged their own movie.
I have said it once and I am going to say it again. Disney has always been good at world building and at first, I really wanted to see a movie in this setting because I thought it was really cool. But seeing the half effort Disney put into it really let me down. I haven't seen it yet but from what I am seeing, it doesn't look too promising
Ain’t no way
They gave encanto background characters their own movie
Can blame marketing all you want, but it's absolutely "the message". People are so dam sick of it. Rubbish
I saw about two trailers for this and they were so short and confusing I thought they were teasers. I had no idea what the movie was about and didn’t even realize it was released until I saw this video
Disney: *refuses to put any decent budget or marketing into a new film with an interesting concept*
Also Disney: Why are we broke?
I started receiving ads for it here on YT at least once a day mire or less a month before the release and i donxt even live in an english-speaking country, I seriously don't understand what you mean with this. When were they supposed to advertise this? And where else?
@@gauntlettcf5669 Maybe it's different for everybody. For me, I have barely seen advertisement for this movie. I had only known this movie was out because I went to go see Black Panther.

I literally just watched Strange World a few hours ago and it really deserved way better. It was a really good movie and I loved it and im so sad that Disney treated it so badly.
well they’ve been making movies for a hundred years
they’re not all going to be winners
Its sad how the talents of animators at Disney and Pixar are wasted on current films with poor story and directing.
Those talents would be complimented with anime-type production
Literally three days ago, I went to see this movie in cinemas and no one else was in the theatre
1. No one knows what it is
2. No one knows it's out already
3. The only news about it are viewers walking out early.
Can I be honestly I forgot this movie even existed it thought this was gonna be a tv series or something and seeing the ad in theaters now caught me off guard that how bad the marketing was
They set this movie up for failure and it's really disappointing.
What do expect they still haven't apparently fired the executive that cut the owlhouse short so till they do that then disney may not be doing so poorly
I feel like the only way that could that could help the movie is it becomes successful like Encanto (when it hits streaming, people discover it and love it, and spreads the word)
I honestly think that if disney couldn't come up with a more creative title than "Strange World", they deserve all the financial and critical losses they received.
I knew it would fail when I could easily identify the dozen storyline cliches in the trailer
This is so sad we've been begging for them to make something new and original and now they'll never do it again. Why didn't they push this movie more I didn't even know this movie was out yet!?
Because they want to desperately make sure that movies with LGBT+ characters would start to fade away into only existing within the indie scene where more than likely they'll be low budget & are more or less unheard of outside of like, what, 50 people? I mean, I'm a gay man & I do NOT hear that many LGBT+ movies existing outside of RUclips & TVTropes.
Disney: *doesn’t market Strange World for profit*
Also Disney: why does no one want to watch our original movies??? 🤡🤡🤡
Hopefully Disney will bounce back by this with Bob Chapek out of the picture
It really is a shame because I watched this movie in theaters and it was incredible. It’s really dumb for Disney to take this strategy. I thought it had a fantastic plot twist, an incredible story, and I definitely believe that it’s up there with Turning Red and Luca in my favorite movie list (Yes I like the newer Disney and Pixar movies) It might’ve just been because I was watching in theaters, but this movie amazed me.
I saw a trailer on RUclips and on Facebook. They barely released promos and poster pictures anywhere else. Strange World (2022) had the worst Three-Day opening Thanksgiving since 2000’s The Emperor’s New Groove, that movie brought in just under $10 million at the time 22 years ago. Less the worth of a real concept of the marketing for the flick. 🙄🤔🤷🏻♂️
Im shocked they even gave this genre another shot, because the two other movies that were released under the action exploration type, Treasure Planet and Atlantis, didn't preform too well either.
The problem is that with all their acquisitions, Disney is always going to be competing with ITSELF. Sure, owning Marvel and other companies/franchises will make them money, but it will end up hurting their original animated content, and that’s just sad for me. I wish Disney had just kept focusing on their own content instead of becoming greedy and trying to buy up the whole industry.
Remember when they bought, then buried Saban Entertainment?
Strange World truly is Treasure Planet 2.0. As in it bombed at the box office due to lack of promotion.
I think the reason they never promoted it was because of the fact they never advised encanto all that much and that became a big hit for a while I guess they expected something similar to happen here.
Do not compare the gold that was lost like the trove to this.
For some reason, basically every day I watched something on RUclips, I had the trailer as an ad.
That sounds even worse than Treasure Planet's box office. Shame 😓
Disney: not marketing a movie
Disney: Suffers box office loss
Also disney: *Surprised pikachu face*
And they wonder why it flopped
With Wakanda and Avatar coming out, I don't think they care. Strange World losing money is just small potatoes to them, compared to the billions the other two are going to bring.
They’re not surprised, they _knew_ it would happen
I enjoyed it. The animation was adorable and the scenes were enjoyable. If they bothered to do the level of advertisement like they have for previous films, it may have at least broke even at the theater. It's shame because people complain about Disney remaking the classics, but then no one turns up to watch the original films which makes Disney keep going back to remakes because they bring in hundreds of millions in profit.
Exactly, I'd rather watch original material over unnecessary remakes and sequels.
And yes, I too enjoyed Strange World. Found it pretty entertaining and I thought the LGBTQ stuff was done well, and not as much as the controversy implies.
I even thought the 3 legged dog was interesting LOL
@@RB01.10 I really enjoyed the colors and locations in the film. They were colorful and vibrant and full of life. Even though it has already been done many times before, I loved the theme of "families". That was beautiful and I actually cried. I just love that they loved each other and I also enjoyed the rare and realistic approach they took towards the mother "moving on", after the father left.
The whole film was wonderful.
This is one of the movies where people are not complaining about how it's not good or the graphics is ugly most majority of people watched it only have one thing to say the marketing was bad
I saw it premiering in a random cinema, not thinking much of it, and completely forgetting about the entire thing, your video literally reminded my that the movie existed
Sometimes being honest of a movie that flopped really badly isn't going to be enough to help it in a long run
First movie to have a new Disney 100 logo, and its bombs since the start.
Thanks for nothing, Disney.
It's a Treasure Planet case all over again
Also, I can hear the Pokemon Scarlet Violet OST X)
he's been using Scarlet Violet OST even on a previous video, was looking for this comment hahaha
seems he may be playing too
Gosh another Treasure Planet incident, sadly
So if you don't advertise your movie it's going to flop??? Wow SHOCKING!!!
I need that one meme from the Eric Andre show with Disney shooting strange world with no marketing and releasing 2 other movies, and then them wondering why it didn’t do well
It's literally only because of their lack of marketing, no one has any motivation to go see it because of that
Man if only strange world comes out sometime around spring 2023 so they can improve the marketing on the film (hope Walt Disney Animation Studio's Next Film,Wish is going to do good at the box office)
22nd October
@Official Clogged Toilet Gang 🏳️🌈⃠ what? It always been 22nd November I said wrong
@Official Clogged Toilet Gang 🏳️🌈⃠ no it still coming out in fall 2023
I remember seeing the trailer for this movie when I went to see the buzz lightyear movie. I had no idea that this movie will bomb that hard.
Dude I didn’t even know this movie came out.
If they promoted more than once maybe this movie could’ve been a big movie.
Walt Disney brought colour and sound back into a silent black and white world at the time through animation when wonder and magic was really needed a magic that’s important to generations after generations of people it’s just a shame he’s successors can’t understand and see that.
The same thing also happened with Encanto but when it hit disney plus it started performing amazing
Due to the music
@@ingrid3rd577 true :/
I like how everyone just ignores the elephant in the room, but I guess its best for not ruining the mood
While i am gonna see the movie, I can"t say im surprised by its performance.
This will teach them that fans are tired of their crap, that they can’t expect to keep pandering to certain politics and expect people to follow along blindly. That, and they marketed it horribly
Gay people aren’t politics
@@lauchlangibson732 the people aren’t, their lifestyle is though. Nothing against the people, they can live their life however they want to, but you can’t deny that their politics are being forced into children movies
@@captainpep3 So gay people existing in a childrens movie is political...
@@mattwolf7698 their existence isn’t political, it’s their belief. Regardless of what any of us believe, there’s no doubt that homosexuality is still a very controversial way of life for many, especially since it’s against many religions to be homosexual. A lot of parents don’t want their kids exposed to that through a movie, and they’re finding out that Disney keeps putting that stuff in their movie so they’re less inclined to go watch it/let their kids watch it (I’m not saying that’s the main reason this movie flopped, but I do believe it is still one of the reasons)
I think that in Slovakia it was marketed very well. It was marketed as kids movie with a gay character in it, which made majority of Slovaks mad, saying things like "that's disgusting", "why are they showing sick, perverted people to kids?", "I would like to NOT to watch it" etc. So yeah, everybody here pretty much knows that the movie exist and that it exists for them to hate it.
Same thing here in the Baltics, quite a big contrast when compared to Western audience
I only knew this was coming because I'm a massive nerd who keeps tabs on upcoming Disney animation as a matter of habit... looking forward to Wish next year!
It will probably be a cult classic once it reaches streaming. Like how Treasure Planet did better after the DVD sales
I doubt it. Strange World has had bad reviews from audiences, bad by Disney standards. Treasure Planet had good reviews.
This movie looked sucky anyway also how disney was advertising didn't help either
I saw a lot of ads for it and I still didn’t want to watch it. The title already sounds like a straight to dvd movie you’d find at Walmart, same with the character designs. I watched the trailers in full and there just didn’t seem to be anything unique about it other than just having a gay main character.
Kinda sad cause now disney is afraid to do new movies...
@Emilio Romero That's based on something that already exists
@Emilio Romero
It’s not even the series that deserves a movie the most.
Why do I get the feeling it was the same executive you know the one responsible for cutting/canceling the owlhouses third season is the same one that decided to not give strange world the budget it needed in order for it to be potentially successful.
My flip flops are many times floppier than this I assure you
I remember waking up and seeing youtube and I saw an ad and I was like
Its arleady published?
"Strange world is a flop"
yeah no shit guy
And it looked so good with the environments, etc.
