Strange World’s Excellent Gay Romance Is Undermined By Disney’s Past Failures

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 hope for 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 poor 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. Ethan’s crush and his

A Florida teacher says the state is investigating her for showing students the Disney movie 'Strange World,' which features an LGBTQ character

A teacher in Florida says the State Board of Education is investigating her after she showed Disney's "Strange World" to her fifth-grade students as part of a "brain break."

She says in the video that there were several students not normally in her class display when she showed the movie, one of which was the child of a school board member who is "on a rampage to get rid of every form of representation out of our schools."

"The school board member called the Department of Education on me for indoctrination before ever coming to our school to talk with me or adm

But What if It Was Already Gay: STRANGE WORLD

We&#;re back again with But What if It Was Already Gay. But unlike this column&#;s other installments, we&#;re looking at a film with textual queerness: Disney&#;s Strange World. Is that textual queerness why the movie only played in two cinemas in my country, and I had to wait until it dropped on Disney+ to watch it? I don&#;t know. In any case, here we are.

First up, Disney is notorious for announcing its First Explicitly Gay Character&#x;©® only to have that kind of be nothing. Meanwhile, they&#;ve made actual queer stories in Luca, Mulanand Frozen, either unintentionally or without acknowledging the reality. (Don&#;t @ me; I know the latter three have other possible interpretations.) That said, Stange World&#;s Ethan (Jaboukie Young-White) is legitimately, unmistakably queer.
