Strange World is a Disney milestone in terms of representation -- but as a storytelling experience, this dazzlingly animated adventure offers little audiences haven't already seen.

Audience Says

It's lovely to look at and the story has its moments, but all in all, Strange World falls short of Disney's finest.

Strange World | Rotten Tomatoes (1) John Wilmes Chicago Reader Everyone is delightfully lost in a softly Lovecraftian Osmosis Jones labyrinth with climate change overtones and lovely faceless critters everywhere, trying to pantomime meaning to these stumbling humans. Dec 3, 2022 Full Review Strange World | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Strong familial conflict, magical adventures and timely social messaging make this animated feature a bit deeper than most. If Strange World can find its audience, those viewers will be pleased. Why? Because even the trees are cool! Rated: 3/4 Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Strange World | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Despite the film's rich CGI, it’s only when the humans and their conflicts, big and small, come to the forefront, that the film comes to life. Rated: 2/5 Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Strange World | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Hector A. Gonzalez Loud and Clear Reviews While the animation remains top-notch, other aspects of Strange World lack vivacity and emotional connection due to its cookie-cutter procedure in its narrative development. Rated: 2/5 Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Strange World | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Quietly inclusive, with its message of family and finding your place in the world, in trippy psychedelic colours, Strange World scores top marks in the entertaining stakes. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Strange World | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily The true stars seem to be the animators, who are so far ahead now that it will take some time for directors, screenwriter -- and us -- to catch up with what they’re capable of achieving.
