In what has possibly been one of the worst-kept secrets and something fans have been speculating on for months, but today, Disney has officially announced that the latest Walt Disney Animation Studios’ action-packed adventure “Strange World” is coming to Disney+ in many countries around the world on Friday 23rd December 2022.

The film features Jake Gyllenhaal, who lends his voice to Searcher Clade, a family man who finds himself out of his element on an unpredictable mission; Dennis Quaid, who voices Searcher’s larger-than-life explorer father, Jaeger; Jaboukie Young-White, who is the voice of Searcher’s 16-year-old, adventure-seeking son, Ethan; Gabrielle Union, who provides the voice of Meridian Clade, an accomplished pilot and Searcher’s partner in all things; and Lucy Liu, who voices Callisto Mal, Avalonia’s fearless leader who spearheads the exploration into the strange world.

“Strange World” introduces a legendary family of explorers, the Clades, as they attempt to navigate an uncharted, treacherous land alongside a motley crew that includes a mischievous blob, a three-legged dog and a slew of ravenous creatures.

“Strange World” is helmed by Don Hall (Oscar-winning “Big Hero 6,” “Raya and the Last Dragon”) and co-director/writer Qui Nguyen (co-writer “Raya and the Last Dragon”), and produced by Roy Conli (Oscar-winning “Big Hero 6,” “Tangled”).

“Strange World” was only released in cinemas just before Thanksgiving, but has been given a short theatrical run. Unfortunately, the film suffered to find an audience at the box office, pulling in just under $55 million dollars globally in the past few weeks.  But “Strange World” follows the path that “Encanto” took last year with a very short theatrical run. However, the film exploded to the top of the streaming trending charts for months and created a pop-culture moment with the hit song, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. Will “Strange World” be able to replicate the same success as “Encanto”?

 

Are you looking forward to watching “Strange World” on Disney+ over Christmas?
