Strange World Movie (2022):
Strange World is an American computer-animated action-adventure film directed by Don Hall, written and co-directed by Qui Nguyen, and produced by Roy Conli. The film stars the voices of Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, Jaboukie Young-White, Gabrielle Union, and Lucy Liu.
Strange World takes inspiration from pulp magazines—popular fiction from the first half of the 20th century; the film also pays homage to retro science-fiction flicks such as Journey to the Center of the Earth and King Kong. In addition, the land of Avalonia was given an orange-and-white color palette to contrast with the titular strange world, as the filmmakers chose red and magenta. To communicate non-verbally, the film’s crew were created for the character Splat. Henry Jackman composed the film’s musical score.
Produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, the film was theatrically released in the United States on November 23, 2022, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics.
