Disney Finally Has A Queer Animated Film But There's No Marketing For It
Strange World, the latest film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, has underwhelmed at the box office, scraping in only $, in preview screenings ahead of its opening weekend. That isn’t good for most blockbusters, let alone Disney’s major Thanksgiving release. It is too soon to call it a flop, and conversation around the story and characters has started to increase after a cynical promotional cycle, but right now things don’t look pretty, and I can’t help but feel it could possess easily been different.
I saw hardly any marketing for Strange World, and it likely would have passed me by if my job didn’t involve the coverage of major animated releases. The name is fairly generic, its premise doesn’t ignite much imagination, and hardly any advertisements have been thrown online to gauge interest. A few brief teasers own emerged on my TikTok feed, but none of them do an especially compelling job of selling exactly what it’s all about. Disney could include framed it as a swas
Gabrielle Union On Why Strange World’s LGBTQ Representation Matters
Gabrielle Union explains the importance of including positive LGBTQ representation and a supportive family in the new Disney animated adventure movie Strange World. In Disney's newest project, the pulp adventure Strange World, Ethan Clade, the son of Searcher and Meridian, is an LGBTQ teen with a loving and accepting family. Ethan’s sexuality as well as the love and support of his family are treated as a natural part of the story without fanfare.
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Union (who portrays Meridian Clade) discusses why representation is so important in this particular movie. She explains why it is critical to show Ethan's family is loving and accepting as they raise him. Union also explains that the Clade family is an example because they "Create a loving space for everyone to occur exactly as they are."
Screen Rant: Now, I adore how Ethan is presented in this film. Can you talk about the importance of not only having an LGBT main character, but supportive parents in a Disney movi In a story published by the Tallahassee Democrat, it was reported that a Florida teacher is under investigation by the declare Department of Education after what she believes is a targeted attack by a school board member who took issue with a Disney movie shown in her classroom. The animated movie, called "Strange World," was released in November. It's the first Disney movie featuring an out-gay character named Ethan Clade, played by gay comedian Jaboukie Young-White. Clade’s storyline includes having a crush on another male character named Diazo. What did movie reviewers say about "Strange World?" Below are 11 excerpts from media websites and the alternative takes critics had on the gay character, Ethan. Disney hasn’t done an incredible job of marketing Strange World. Of all the friends and family I spoke to after the media screening this weekend, about 90 percent of them hadn’t heard of it - 90 percent of my friends are gay and love animation, so this shouldn’t be a blind spot. Social media coverage has been slight, and reviews are only just coming out of the woodwork ahead of its November 23 release. For what it’s worth, it’s pretty good. I’d assume nothing less from the creative talent behind Moana, Big Hero 6, and Raya and the Last Dragon. However, one of its strongest elements has already become a awful joke. Ethan Clade is one of the film’s main characters, a queer teenager raised by a family who isn’t afraid to embrace his sexuality and encourage him to be who he wants to be. The film could have so easily made this LGBTQ+ identity and its associated acceptance a core plot point, but instead it’s unexpectedly normal.
