This movie's only saving grace is that no one watched it.

You know that bland corporate art with the faceless figurines they bombard you with in soulless powerpoint presentations? It's that, but as a kids' movie.

TOUCH BASE ON ALL WOKE QUADRANTS: A biracial family with an openly gay teen son and a handicapped pet (missing a limb) get on a ship (that runs on green veggies) with the Asian woman president and a black flaming gay crew member to fix their existential problems. That's what the title refers to in case your kid doesn't get the reference. (And the message is: [SPOILER] What you think may be the problem could actually be your savior. GTFO CHAPEK!)

This movie is neither great, nor awful. Themes from movies like Osmosis Jones, Ferngully, Journey to the Center of the Earth, wraps it up in some multigenerational family drama. It has some creative ideas but they're not executed well. The characters have strengths- doesn't make them super appealing (Meridian, the mom, was most solid and she's kinda static). The dog serves no purpose but to be a liability. Just okay. Not a strong showing. But 'woke' don't ruin it, other things sap its strength.

Lazy. Even the LGBT elements seem thrown in for good measure. Every member of the apparently legendary Clade family is more or less tiresome company.

Formulaic in many respects and featuring a screenplay designed committee, but I liked it. Easy going, with punchy visuals, admirable design and perfectly sound overall message. Very likeable, but it will annoy some because gay and black people exist and they may struggle with such concepts! Like a few of Disney’s recent outputs I suspect a more daring, interesting version of the story sits on an original storyboard somewhere, but nonetheless this is solid family fare.

Conceptually intersting, beautifully animated but completely uninspired and clichéd narrative, that comes across as a hot topic check list rather than a story someone actually wanted to tell.

Such is the basic competency of the studio that even their weakest film in nearly two decades is still no worse than blandly mediocre, but Strange World practically turns that competency into a liability. The most rote story and character building blocks are utilized, and while they basically serve their purpose, they’re so formulaic and inorganically employed that the film feels outright skeletal. Strange World is not a bad film per se, but it is aggressively functional.

Ehhh pretty generic and meh. Didn’t feel much for the characters emotionally and the movie wasn’t that funny. The Strange World stuff wasn’t really anything I hadn’t already seen before. Where the plot goes at the end thinks it’s more clever than it actually is. It's an easy watch and the animation is decent in places, as well as the music. I had already seen these premises/concepts done in movies before. A Mediocre World is what it is.

A lot more imagination has been put into the titular world than the by the numbers storyline about paternal expectations and acceptance but it's a relatively good time.

I get it, Disney can't actually comment on any of the hot button ideas that were blatantly presented, but what is the point then of shoehorning in all of the wokeness? It bothers me that the grandpa didn't even raise an eyebrow when he realized his grandson was gay. All it would take is three seconds of subtle animation, going from the grandpa showing confusion to complete acceptance, because he wants to be a part of his grandson's life. So much bothers me. Anyway, it's an okay adventure. Sure.
