You should just stick with bashing the Muppets. At least you’re good at that.

For the record I would heartedly welcome a gay prince/princess movie, actually thought Lightyear was pretty good and totally agree that there are an unfortunate number of people looking to troll a movie for their agendas. Some most certainly preconditioned and chomping on this very thread.
I did see an extended amount of Strange World at D23 and it was kind of meh (for me). That said pulp magazine adventure isn't really my thing, but I do think this is going to be a rare, recent miss for WDAS. I'll see how the reviews pan out, certainly I'm not 'cheering' for it to be bad though.

They are really not marketing this movie out with the minor trailer here and there..I doubt will be seeing any merchandise or figures. Let alone anything in the parks as a M&G except for this 10min preview at DHS.

To be a troll?

Oh you’re playing “I know you are but what am I?” type games now? How predictable. At this point, I will just wait for the reviews.

Well there is this figure set. It is pretty predictable since everything has one of these sets. The Avatar figures are better.

Well then, scratch that...I'm surprised to see them...Makes me wonder if the next tie in is a McDonald's Happy Meal set..Well there is this figure set. It is pretty predictable since everything has one of these sets. The Avatar figures are better.

I think pretty much every Disney IP has this kind of stuff aimed at the 4-8 year olds.

To tick you off.
BTW, Cracked.com, a highly popular humor site, wrote an article the other day entitled, "Maybe It's Time To Just Stop With The Muppets". Written by a troll, no doubt: https://www.cracked.com/article_33406_maybe-its-time-to-just-stop-with-the-muppets.html
The most salient comment: The Muppets Mayhem, a Disney+ series that follows the Electric Mayhem Band’s attempt to record their first studio album, is the latest of several recent stabs at resurrecting a supposedly beloved franchise that no one wants to watch.

Sounds like trollish behavior to me. And cracked.com - LOL. Typical that this is where someone like you goes for their "news".To tick you off.

While looking forward to Strange World and am rooting for it to do well, I am 95% sure it will flop hard. Even if you ignore the gay controversy or the fact that Disney's Sci-Fi movies rarely do well, I simply am not seeing this movie promoted AT ALL. I have AMC A-list so I go to the cinema almost three times a week. And I haven't seen the trailers for Strange World get played at any of the movies I have seen.
In the past two months, I have seen the IMAX 3D re-release of Avatar, Don't Worry Darling, Bros, The Woman King, Halloween Ends, Smile, Orphan: First Kill, Black Adam, Pearl, a 30th-anniversary re-release of Dracula, Till, Armageddon Time, Tar, Barbarian, the Banshees of Inesherin, The Invitation and a theatrical re-release of Beetlejuice. The Strange World trailer hasn't played before ANY of these movies.
Now it should be worth noting that most of these movies are skewed toward an adult audience, while Strange World is for kids. However, the lack of kids movies coming out in theaters nowadays means there are less opportunities to promote Strange World.
I just don't think this movie is on most people's radar. It seems like Disney is investing all of its energy into Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: The Way of Water. Maybe Disney wants the headlines to focus on the box office success of those movies so that no one notices the underperformance of Strange World.

This. I think Disney knows it is a foregone conclusion that Strange World won't make any money and is not spending more than the bare minimum to promote it.
The movie gets released in less than 20 days and it looks like there's almost no hype, advertising or awareness of any kind.

I also go to AMC regularly and hadn’t seen the trailer before anything (mostly R-rated fare) until I saw it play today before Ticket to Paradise. No question this thing is set to bomb. The trailer is perplexing, bland and worse than Lightyear’s if that says anything. But I’m also convinced almost everything else this winter (Babylon, She Said, Fabelmans) is going to bomb with the exception of Wakanda and Avatar, so maybe Strange World will be in good company.

I've seen a billboard for the movie... just a few miles away from Disneyland of course. Haven't seen much more for this movie than that.

I have to say, across the board, this holiday season's upcoming releases do not interest me at all.
I think Disenchanted may be the one I want to see the most.
You should try the Hallmark channel!!

There are a lot of good movies coming out, but they aren't the fun escapism people crave during the holidays. As good as the films about the death of Emmett Till or the investigation into Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse may be, they aren't the type of movies that turn out huge crowds during the holiday season.

I did see trailers for this before Thor4 and Lightyear, so it was playing before some recent movies.
Its possible Disney is deciding to see if they can make this a sleeper hit via a smaller marketing campaign. Thanksgiving is one of the busiest movie theater days of the year. And when families look at their local Cineplex for movies to take the whole family to, what are they going to find? Well not much this year, especially not for families with kids younger than teens. So you'll get a bunch of families seeing a Disney movie listed and likely take a chance on it because they haven't heard very much negativity about it.
So I wouldn't rule this one as a bomb just because it doesn't have a huge marketing campaign. Plus there are still 2 weeks before its release, they could start a marketing campaign right after BP2 is released. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see a trailer for it playing before BP2.
