*I’m super excited about Walt Disney Animation Studios’ upcoming action-packed adventure “Strange World.”
I had the pleasure of watching a few select scenes from the feature film ahead of its release and what I love most about it are the stunning visuals. I love fantasy films and creature movies and this Disney combines both for what feels like a living world.
Per press release, “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. “Inspired by classic adventure stories,” said director Don Hall, “‘Strange World’ is an original animated adventure/comedy about three generations of the Clade family who overcome their differences while exploring a strange, wondrous and oftentimes hostile world.”
