Con a trailer that deliciously mimics the trailers of old sci-fi movies from the 1950s, the new Disney animated film seems to want to recover some of that naive devotion to time and space exploration adventures that characterizes the best genre pulp literature. Already the title of this new proposal, ‘Strange World’ (or ‘Strange World’) is pure sense of wonder classic.
The film is the new proposal from director Don Hall and screenwriter Qui Nguyen, who already collaborated on the interesting ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’, one of Disney’s latest animated hits. Hall, as a director, has signed other films for the company, such as ‘Vaiana’ (in collaboration with the totems Ron Climens and John Musker) and, already alone, ‘Big Hero 6’. They are very juicy backgrounds for an adventure that promises fantasy and adventure in the purest Disney style.
Little is known about the plot, beyond the fact that we will meet the Clade family, a line of adventurers (although, from what can be seen in the trailer, some are more convinced of their destiny than others) who will arrive on an unknown planet. Over there, creatures that have nothing human will put them in danger and make them enjoy a radically different world to ours.
Undoubtedly, the most attractive thing about ‘Strange World’ is the peculiarity of its aesthetics and its color palette, in that purple that automatically takes us back to the neon special effects of the eighties. With completely alien creatures, without human characteristics, this could be one of the most genuine science-fiction adventures that Disney has produced in its animated division for years.
