Disney's upcoming animated adventure Strange World is set to land in U.S. theaters November 23rd and today we have a brand-new trailer and poster ahead of its holiday release. Make sure and check them out below!
The Clades, a legendary family of explorers, are introduced in the upcoming feature film as they attempt to navigate an uncharted and perilous land alongside a motley crew that includes a mischievous blob, a three-legged dog, and a slew of ravenous creatures.
Strange World is, at its heart, a tale about a family, more specifically about three generations, each of whom is searching for their place in the world. A world that was forever changed by the discovery made by Searcher Clade, a brilliant family man who, when he was just a teenager, who found a plant-based power source. Together with his wife and son, he was able to establish a prosperous business by cultivating, harvesting, and selling the crop.
Jaeger, Searcher's father, had a lifelong dream of becoming the kind of legendary explorer that people tell stories about. There is a statue in the town that attests to the fact that he accomplished his mission, but after getting lost on an expedition, no one has heard from him in decades.
Ethan, who is 16 years old and very happy, has a wonderful sense of humor and a respectable work ethic. He is Searcher's son (for a teenager). Although Ethan helps out on the farm, he is not certain that he wants to take over the family business like his father did.
The three Clades share more in common than any of them are willing to admit, despite the fact that there are significant differences between them that serve to drive a wedge between them.
Director Don Hall said that 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. The upcoming feature film was inspired by classic adventure stories.
The voice cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal as Searcher Clade, a family man who finds himself out of his element on an unpredictable mission; Dennis Quaid as Searcher’s larger-than-life explorer father, Jaeger; Jaboukie Young-White as Searcher’s 16-year-old son, Ethan, who longs for adventure; Gabrielle Union as Meridian Clade, an accomplished pilot and Searcher’s partner in all things; and Lucy Liu as Callisto Mal, Avalonia’s fearless leader who spearheads the exploration into the strange world. Strange World is helmed by Don Hall (Oscar-winning Big Hero 6, Raya and the Last Dragon) and co-director/writer Qui Nguyen (co-writer Raya and the Last Dragon), and produced by Roy Conli (Big Hero 6, Tangled).
