Strange World | Walt Disney Animation Studios | Comes to Disney+ on December 23rd

[Jonwo]

I am rolling my eyes at the notion that Strange World underperforms it will cause WDAS to be closed down, Animation built Disney, they're not going to close either WDAS or Pixar.

[AniNate]

I'm not sure who's saying WDAS might close unless that "kill WDAS" post is being interpreted too literally. They would probably be the last branch standing if Disney fell on really hard times.

 

Regardless I don't think they're at a point yet where one movie might make or break their future funding the way I do about Pixar post-Lightyear.

uh no, I don't worry about Pixar either. What's this "kill WDAS" thing?

They usually drop them in September. Avatar's re-release isn't an exact fit, but better than nothing I suppose.

Also with D23 around the corner it might sense for a drop. They’ll likely attach to Avatar Re release so it can be ready for Lyle.

I think I'll try to see this in Dolby Cinema.

The juxtaposition with these beady eyes and the huge eyes in Encanto...there's something funny about it.

No full trailer for this tonight? I figured this was the ideal time, 2 months out and at D23. Interesting!

Three other big trailers dropped tonight. I get waiting a little bit for this one, since it has the least hype and would get lost in the shuffle easier.

[Dingdong]

Yeah I thought it’d be ideal to to drop the trailer today, but The Little Mermaid is sucking all the hype (whether good or bad) with its teaser drop.

 

Maybe next week would be ideal for this one i guess.

[Dingdong]

That new still looks amazing though. The animation seems a lot better in there compared to the teaser released last june.

[JWR]

I think that Disney is going to start ramping up for one last marketing push soon.

[El Squibbonator]

They'd better. The way things are looking now, they're going to have another Lightyear on their hands.

I think it's kind of unavoidable at this point.

Knowing that the cultural zeitgeist in America is slanting away from inclusivity, I've been concerned that

 

Spoiler

The lead kid being gay will get certain groups in a hackle and raise a lot of vitriol toward the film for no good reason.

 

[El Squibbonator]

That's why this movie needs to be successful. If it's not, we won't get any more openly gay main characters in Disney films for a very long time. We already know the writers had to protest to get a lesbian kiss into Lightyear, so it's not like this is something the company actively wants to do.

I'm not reading that spoiler but I'm not worried... whether or not this movie makes a lot of money has little bearing on the culture at large.
