Disney’s upcoming adventure film “Strange World” will feature a gay teen romance — the first in an animated feature produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The film, which is scheduled to open on Nov. 23, will follow three generations of a family of explorers and take viewers “to a place of infinite mystery unlike anything you’ve ever seen,” according to a trailer released by the studio earlier this month.
Several Hollywood powerhouses have been confirmed as part of the voice cast, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Gabrielle Union, Lucy Liu, Dennis Quaid and Jaboukie Young-White. On Friday, Disney screened three sequences from the film at the 2022 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, one of the world’s most important festivals for the film animation industry that takes place in the city of Annecy, in southeast France.
In one of them, Ethan (Young-White) flirts with a boy named Diazo in front of his friends, who tease him in a friendly way. His father, Searcher Clade (Gyllenhaal), later joins in and embarrasses him in “an overeager show of acceptance,” as the scene is described by Variety.
Emmy Award-winning producer Matthieu Saghezchi, who also saw the sequence, wrote on Twitter that the scene is “very endearing” and it’s “treated as the most natural thing in the world.”
“The scene describes the son being very shy in front of his boy crush, and his dad comes in and says “so nice to meet you! my son talks about you all the time” and further embarrasses his son,” Saghezchi wrote. “Very cute.” The refreshing nod to inclusivity comes as “Lightyear,” the much-anticipated “Toy Story” spinoff, was reportedly banned in 14 countries over a brief same-sex kiss.
The Disney-Pixar computer-animated adventure film starring Chris Evans as the voice of Buzz Lightyear features a kiss between Alisha, voiced by the actress Uzo Aduba, and her wife Kiko. On Monday, the United Arab Emirates announced that the film would not be shown in the country “due to its violation of the country’s media standards.”
Manager of the local theaters says he will not show it.
When do parents stop bringing their kids to the theme parks, cruise ships and other movies? Disney, stop grooming our children. I had to answer my grand-kids questions because of your positions way to early for them to be concerned about that.
I take it that all the ‘Disney Decision Makers’ are on straight salary, rather than having a percentage deal on productions, so they don’t care if their movies lose money.
I hope it will be a HUGE FLOP.
OK, its only for 3 of their hotels. You can find out which ones easy online.
Jake Gyllenhaal... I think he was one of the queers in BrokeBack Mountain.
Definitely the best parks money wise and fun. Looking forward to going back next year. Skipping Disney as it is overpriced now, crowded, and standing in line for hours to ride is not my thing.
Putting blacks in the same category as homosexuals and transsexuals demonstrates that you are thinking like a liberal.
Don’t let them win the battle for your mind.
Roy Disney, Walt’s brother, was still alive and on the Board back then. After he died, it went to hell........................
