Last week, Disney fans got the first teaser trailer for the film, which introduces us to the legendary Clades, “a family of explorers whose differences threatened to topple their latest and most crucial mission,” according to IMDB.
Directed by Don Hall and written by Qui Nguyen, Strange World stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Alan Tudyk as adventurers on a bizarre and wonderful sci-fi planet.
With all this new information about the film, some fans noticed an easter egg in Disney’s Encanto (2021). TikTok user @hiddenmoviedetails saw the secret reference first, posting this video:

At the end of the film’s credits, when the Walt Disney Company logo is center screen, eagle-eyed viewers will notice a green submarine-style ship on the left.
The same ship quickly flys by at the beginning of the Strange World trailer, right after the screen reads “A major motion picture event!”

More on Encanto
Encanto hit theaters late last year and was an instant hit. “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” surpassed “Let it Go” as the highest-charting Disney single since “A Whole New World” from Disney’s Aladdin (1992). From Disney:
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel (voice of Stephanie Beatriz). But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope. Releasing on Nov. 24, 2021, the film features all-new songs by Emmy®, GRAMMY® and Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton,” “Moana”) and is directed by Byron Howard (“Zootopia,” “Tangled”) and Jared Bush (co-director “Zootopia”), co-directed by Charise Castro Smith (writer “The Death of Eva Sofia Valdez”), and produced by Clark Spencer and Yvett Merino; Bush and Castro Smith are screenwriters on the film.
