    I didn't know that this existed..
    ...it just came up on Disney + after Tangled finished and my daughter wanted to watch it.

    Mostly what happened was that a thing moved through stuff of varying colours, then someone complained about something to someone and soon after the thing was moving through some different colours.

    There was a bit about the environment, then more colours, and the people competing to be the most annoying.

    Sometimes floating objects/creatures appeared and were a similar colour to the stuff that the thing was moving through at the time. They were normally OK, sometimes a bit mouthy, but they didn't cause too many issues.

    The intro was the best part. It reminded me of DuckTales.

    This felt like made for TV Disney not made for Movie theatre Disney
    I can see where the lower reviews are coming from. As someone who watches a lot of kids movies and shows against there will I think I have a bit of a lower standard when it comes to what I like vs what is tolerable.

    I can't say I really liked this one, all the voice acting seemed off to me with a few exceptions. I don't think this was well cast or maybe the actors who were in here hadn't had much voice acting experience. Regardless it impacts the flow of the movie.

    The premise is interesting and kind of a retold telling of Journey to the Center of the Earth but in a less interesting way. Even the comedic relief character that shows up doesn't seem as funny or as cute.

    I will say as a parent this was tolerable to watch but not something I would choose to watch again.

    Strange World? More like Strange Writing
    Less than 15 mins in I was considering to not complete the movie bc of the cringy scenes, clique lines, and the voice acting of his son that was hard to digest. Just like our characters, I decided to still embark on this journey, but I ended up having less of an adventure....in fact i had no adventure at all. I got so bored i decided to spend my time critiquing this movie while watching as it was more fun than watching the movie.

    The creative world and vivid animation is ruined by choppy writing, shallow characters, senseless character motivation, poorly developed plot, and very...very...very dry "humor". Dialogue seemed to have been written by a pre-teen on a fiction writing forum and if it wasnt for the animation, i would have never finished the movie.

    A couple of actual examples of stupid moments:
    • The dad knows that splat is a bad creature and is with the son but than doesnt acknowledge it later when splat is cool w the son
    • the grandad just has a flamethrower in this underground world???? How
    • Ship is crashed badly and then one person fixes it in like 10 mins???


    • "That was so primal outpost!" - primal outpost is a game in this workd... this doesnt even make any sense. Its like saying "That was so Valorant!"
    • They invented a form of really advanced flying and they never exployed enough of their world to understand they live on a giant creature???

    A. MAY. ZING.
    There seems to be a lot of negativity towards this film which, in my opinion is very unjustified. Yes, it's an environmental wake up call film/let's not let history repeat itself/adventure, but what a feast for your eyes! Bear in mind that the entire film is CGI, but those Disney geniuses somehow managed to make the CGI look real compared to elements of the film! Who else could make CGI characters look this real then add a 'Splat' and it still look real? (ie: Mary Poppins) All in all a beautiful, wonderful, amazing adventure! Switch your brain off for two hours and enjoy. Well done Disney, shake off the haters and keep up the good work!

    Well it was certainly strange
    That was a very disappointing movie. After seeing no promo whatsoever and not knowing it existed, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. So I watched it. Initially it had potential, an adventure family film, ok. But the whole Pando stuff was sooooo boring. And the characters were not likeable, I didn't care for them at all. I think the highlight of the film was the adorable three-legend dog Legend. The sudden plot twist is also so confusing and out of nowhere which makes the tone of the film so confusing. And the forced toxic generational family trauma trope. Honestly, I'd not recommend it. It's a no from me.

    RE: Huge Regret
    Took my little nephews to watch this. What a waste of money! So sad Disney can not put out good ANYTHING anymore. The movie did not flow as previous animated movies. Just seems more like a something that would be shown in a religion class to tell a story and teach a lesson, EXCEPT, it is the opposite. I had no idea what the theme of the movie was going to be about. Just knew that it had big name characters and it was a new Disney movie. My brother has been working extra hours and sister in law is now doing online courses her her bachelors degree so it wanted to have some uncle and nephew time and help out. Just so sad Disney went down this path.

    Good visuals but not real enough characters
    This movie feels very fake, which is weird considering that it looks so good, visually. The characters are just not real or people you can relate to.

    While this is set in a fantasy world, I need someone I can relate to so I can enjoy the world that looks so good, but there was not one character that felt like someone I know or someone I would want to know.

    There are themes of being a good parent, or coming to accept that you don't need to be like your parent to get their approval, but without the heart and emotion it felt very superficial.

    I much prefer the other Disney animated films like Raya and the Last Dragon to this one.

    Overall one word comment - Fantastic

    Worth mentioning - ticked all boxes to pleaee everyone which did go OTT but that's new Disney trying to be a perfect world. But it's still an amazing and brilliant Disney film I've watched nonstop since it stayed to stream. But it was best in the cinema for its short lived 4 week UK run.

    World of disappointment
    Strange World is rather a big disappointment from Walt Disney, than being a Sci-fi element filled adventure movie. The only thing that was laudable in the movie was the CGI and the special effects used.

    The director Don Hall and his co-director and screenwriter Qui Nguyen (who last year collaborated on an another Disney picture, "Raya and the Last Dragon") seem to have put all of their effort into gaudy backgrounds, wacky gadgets and strange ancillary monsters instead of into dramatic urgency or conflict. The film's stumbling unoriginality, cliched characters and intended jokes that land like flops leads to a boring viewing experience, even though the plot and animation were good enough.

    My Rating : 4.5/10.

    Boring
    I really wanted to like this movie but sadly I could not. Disney has fallen so much since the time of its classic animated movies such as Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty and Little Mermaid. Everything here is just a rehash of old ideas and nothing original. The jokes in this aren't even funny and my children were asleep halfway through it. Even the adults in the theater were nodding off. After this snoozefest I really hope Disney decides to make funny animated films again and children and adults will love. Sadly, I doubt this will be the case and Disney will continue its downward spiral into oblivion. Thank you.
