You know reasons that a film succeeded or failed are usually multifaceted with multiple factors involved
…what would you know…it’s only YOUR LIFE AND EXPERIENCES…Instead of labeling it "bigotry", I think it's an issue of context and timing for most parents when their kids are pre-teens.
I'm a very mature adult gay man who certainly enjoys watching movies with gays and Lesbians in them, or (even better) with gay campy themes. But when my nephews were 8 and 10 years old I would not have taken them to see Strange World, as that's just too young for me to get involved in that sort of discussion or topic. If the nephews were 14 and 16, then sure, I'd take them to Strange World if they wanted to see it. But 10 or younger? Nope.
I'd imagine my younger sister, who was very supportive of my coming out experience decades ago and my only family ally for years, would feel the same way about taking her young sons to see Strange World.
It seems that Disney pushed the envelope too much for a family cartoon with Strange World. What sounds like a great movie idea to a bunch of childless gay men at brunch in Silver Lake, is likely not going to sound that great to middle class parents of young children in Savannah. Disney should stick to making their family cartoons for the parents budgeting their entertainment dollars in Savannah, instead of the gays having a second round of Mimosas in Silver Lake.

sci fi animation has been a difficult sell. Treasure planet, Atlantis, Light Year, Strange World. Titan A.E.
Ironic that you have just linked a bunch of independents as sharing goals like a cadre…
Everyone is familiar with TP’s routine, just like we’re familiar with yours and most posters are familiar with mine. You, of course, just make up convenient characters that have little to do with what posters actually say.
Oh. Well, it didn't work.
And no wonder, because Disney's entire business model is built on decadent luxury and wasteful use of resources.
There's no good reason why you need giant air conditioned warehouses in a Florida swamp full of singing robots, on a property that encourages the entire audience to either fly across oceans or drive across multiple states to get there. The whole concept of Disney World and Disneyland is wasteful and practically sinful, at least if you really do believe that using more energy than is required for your basic safety and health is bad for the planet.
Just the fleet of Gulfstream jets that Disney maintains at Van Nuys Airport to fly executives and company talent around the globe for business and leisure, just so they don't have to suffer the indignities of First Class commercial air travel with the peasants, undermines the preachy lecture against using energy that is contained in Strange World.
Huh… everyone knows who he is and where he stands…it is the same old song and dance
That addresses what I said in no way…
…of course I used to live/work in Orlando…so you don’t have to convince me that it’s always the most fun/ well planned partiesWait until they find out I can successfully round up every gay man over age 60 in southwest Utah (there's only 8 of us, 10 if you count the two old Lesbians that live in a yurt near Zion National Park) and I host Mimosa-fueled brunches on my own patio!
When you are 400 miles from Silver Lake, you have to do something.
You sure have a lot of critique on a film you have never nor will ever seenOh. Well, it didn't work.

Ah… It would probably be a boring debate… we would be too agreeable…I did not think Strange World was a good movie…. I don’t think your reasoning would be of the bigotry variety… even though you enjoy twisting words, jumping to conclusions and making up false quotesI’ve watched all this crap…mostly out of curiousity…
Want to debate them?
Are we talking about a full blown Mongolian yurt or one of those new fangled ones off of camping world?Wait until they find out I can successfully round up every gay man over age 60 in southwest Utah (there's only 8 of us, 10 if you count the two old Lesbians that live in a yurt near Zion National Park) and I host Mimosa-fueled brunches on my own patio!

There are many minorities that will betray their own kind because they desperately seek the approval of the bigoted society they are raised in. There are many gay or black people that could have internalized homophobia or racism, even if they are not conscious of it.
