This doesn't even look like Disney 

This. Exactly why it flopped.

I knew people were gonna start blaming the fact that there is a gay character in the movie, the moment I read about it

I haven’t seen it yet but plan on it this week. 

 

What is so “woke” about the move?

I don’t understand that narrative. Disney movies have been “woke.” The Little Mermaid is woke, Ariel sings “bright young women, sick of swimming, ready to stand.” Princess Jasmin didn’t want to be treated as a “prize to be won.” Mulan was a strong woman.

I got so many ads for Disenchanted which released on Disney+ but never for this one.

Since Covid the theatrical release for animation movies is limited, most of them are straight to D+ but to give them a chance to compete for the Oscar's they must release it for the cinema for a few weeks, the real promo will start once they will add it to D+

So he probably paid $12+ per person to just leave after 10 minutes because his eloquent and we'll spoken son didn't like the first 10 minutes if the movie?

I have genuinely never heard of this movie.

TOTALLY HAPPENED!

I think Disney doesn’t really know how to promote to kids today tbh. Like why am I seeing billboards in the car for this movie that just say the name of the film and nothing else? 

[XxBones 765]

I remember seeing a trailer for this movie a while back can’t remember before which movie. I think lightyear? I kinda wanted to see it. Didn’t realize it wasn’t really being promoted.

What can we expect, Disney didn't even bother to promote it much. 

 

[Bloody hooker 6,445]

What’s crazy to me is everyone saying they never heard of it or saw a commercial. I saw the 2 minute trailer ad 1-2 months ago, and seen ads since then.
 

Maybe it has to do with demographics.

I saw the movie last week and really enjoyed it. 

The main character's son is gay and it mentions his crush on a boy multiple times. 

Yeah I really liked it as well!

The promotion is definitely to blame. Disney usually do many TV spots and more than 2 trailers for their movies. Alongside printed campaigns on magazines and banners on websites.

None of that happening to Strange World.
