Not a huge surprise here, we had the opportunity to see it while on a Disney Cruise and it was its premier. Lots of people walked out, even though there wasn’t much else going on at the same time on board.
The only thing the story really has going for it is that is is inclusive of people that don’t often get representation, such as the disabled, but even then the inclusiveness doesn’t really include the main characters, except for race and a same sex relationship and that has been done to death by now. It would be great to see true inclusiveness of more people, disabled, large, small, etc. No just what is “politically correct” right now.
Unfortunately, it does appear the term “go woke go broke” is a thing.
We didn’t see it because it wasn’t compelling enough. We highly enjoyed Onward, but nothing about Strangeworld moved the needle. As for gay/hetero. I don’t need any of it in any movie my kids watch. Just tell good stories.
The old adage is true, first make a good movie that compels people to go, then have your message. Zootopia, Raya, and Encanto are “woke” but they are damn good movies first and foremost.
The movie flopped because Disney is trying to openly indoctrinate children into the homosexual lifestyle. That is why me and my children did not go see it, and that is the only reason. And I guarantee you that is the only reason the movie flopped in general. Most parents do not want homosexuality thrust in their kids faces.
I’d like to see your proof that homosexuality is a mental illness, especially since the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders does not list it as such. As for being indoctrinated into a cult, I hope that, if you have children, you’re letting them make their own decisions about their religious beliefs without thrusting Christianity (or any specific belief system) in their faces.
The narcissism you people possess is staggering and pathetic. Disney couldn’t possibly care less about your kids or anyone else’s. They’re doing what they think will make them the most money.
How many times do we need to hear this exquisite stories crucial environmental message before it’s too late. By the way, I don’t want anybody’s heterosexuality thrust in my face but I’m not barbaric about it. If you don’t have anything, nice to say, don’t say it at all. You have every right to brainwash your offspring to be more hateful like yourself. Hopefully they’ll be intelligent enough to think for themselves.
It’s good to see Disney lose money, but it’s clearly not enough to put a dent in the machine. We need more flops like this one. Disney needs to be taught a lesson. No one wants this garbage. Vote with your wallets, people. Mine is closed until Disney stops with this indoctrinating trash and starts bringing back proper storytelling.
heterosexuality is the baseline for all of humanity it is the only way humanity survives. Yes there are disorders and mental issues but they aren’t the norm nor should harmful destructive behaviors be glorified especially to minors.
I’m going to be honest, I had NO idea what this movie was about and only saw 5 seconds of the movie preview on a commercial before I pushed the fast forward button. I thought it looked like one of the most boring movies ever. I had intended to take my kids to see it when I originally heard there was a new Disney movie out but they all said they didn’t want to see it and it looked boring when I asked if they wanted to go see it at the theater. They told me no one at their school had interest to see it either. It just felt like boring, nothing special about it. My young teen told me Disney has earned a “Reputation” over the last few years among kids and young teens of “Putting out terrible movies with even worse story lines.’ I had no idea kids disliked newer Disney movies in general so much. She told me yesterday Disney makes one good movie for every ten they put out. She said it feels like recycled storylines and they need fresh, fun new storylines without heavy content.
Saw it with the family and it was a very dull story line. For me, the movie only really got good the last 20-30 minutes. Nothing really made sense until then. Didn’t keep my interest along the way.
It is not a small world afterall. It is a big world. Looks like Disney is showing discriminating and self-serving people the door…
Don’t let it hit you on the way out.

Nothing unfortunate about it. Focus on delivering an entertaining product first and foremost, not a sociopolitical message.

You SAD SAD TRAGIC WOMAN !! I hope one of your kids isnt gay…with an ignorant, uneducated Mother like you.

If a child has a mental illness they should be treated and taken to counseling not indoctrinated into a cult.

We’re glad to see your ego and similar selfish people go. Adios.

Enjoy your stay in prison S1. One must go to a bowling alley to meet a person of your stature.
