Strange World Review: Multicultural Embrace in an Exotic Environment

Strange World has spectacular animation and a creative storyline but tries too hard to earn the diversity merit badge. The premise has a family of explorers trying to save their country from a mysterious blight. They embark on a fantastic adventure with environmental and patriarchal reckoning themes. What sticks out is an obvious attempt at multiculturalism. Strange World has an interracial marriage, a gay teenage son with a crush, and a three-legged handicapped dog. Let me be clear, I admire Disney's inclusion efforts. But the film could have used more subtlety in the narrative while toning down the melodrama.
