Strange World - New Disney Animated Film with Gay Character
I hadn't heard anything about the new Disney animated movie that comes out next week, but evidently it features a gay character in a major role (this article describes him as the first gay teenager in a Disney animated movie). Naturally conservatives are mad and calling for a boycott. (The family's also interracial, which probably doesn't make them any happier, but they probably can't get away with saying that part.)
It seems like the sci fi stories don't do as well in Disney movies (Treasure Planet, Lightyear), but hoping for the best for this one. Featuring the voices of Jake Gyllenhaal, Dennis Quaid, and Gabrielle Union.

It’s bombed and the gay character will be blamed.

I haven’t heard anything about this movie.
It should move quickly to Disney+. That’s where everyone found Encanto

Poor Jake but that's what you get for using the gay character as a marketing tool instead of just writing one.

r6 Many point out they didn't really advertise it... the most advertising it got was from the problematic Brianna Wu... which inspires blowback to most things.

I am worried. Just look at the comments. People support muslims over Freedom of speech in pixar movies. Disney and pixar really need to find better writers for lgbt characters (and make them less ugly) so people are more likely to accept them and don't start becoming anti-gay islam supporters. There is only one comment in the comment section who is surprised by all the muhammad support, all the others call out the lesbian kiss and I think this is also why Strange Worlds with Jake flopped because it was a gay character without substance. How about Disney and Pixar look at Japanese gay anime (yaoi and shounen ai) for better character development? Allegedly they already stole Simba from the anime "kimba the white lion" and Atlantis was apparently heavily infuenced by the anime "nadia secret of blue water", so why not look(or steal from) at Japan for lgbt media too?

I watched it today. It's nice to see a gay character on a Disney film, but damn - it was such a snoozefest. Not surprised it bombed.

Light year was boycotted by a lot of parents too. Otherwise it would have dome extremely well. Disney needs to lay off the woke crap.

It’s now on Disney+ where, if it’s a good movie, will do well

It’s main problem is it’s not that good. It rated a B from movie goers.

Oh the right already roasted it. Forcing gay characters on kids, pushing a "green" story on kids...'Leftist gay Disney movie bombs."

I'd wish they go back to traditional animation or at least CGI that looks traditional like Tangled, Zootopia or Frozen. My dream is to have two hot Disney princes fall in love. Like make them Prince Eric, Naveen or Aladdin type of hot. They refuse to make hot gay and lesbian characters because we that's too threatening.
