It's a good point that Disney has always struggled to sell their adventure films within the Disney canon, good examples of that being Atlantis and Treasure Planet, the latter of which Strange World has been compared to heavily. Both movies were poorly marketed and will go down as major box office failures, they are also both adventure themed films and also happen to feature a father/son narrative at the center of their respective stories.

The film failing to make money isn't what worries me, it's more about how all the criticism that's easily located online skews towards the film's "wokeness". Two of the top results for simply searching the movie's title on YouTube are videos by Ben Shapiro and Ryan Kinel. And as I said people have gone out of their way to tank the score on IMDb, which is very much unlike other films that are simply flops at the box office. Flopping at the box office doesn't usually also come along with review bombs on sites like that, most of which are all comments about hate. Even if you find the film "middling", it's hard to say Strange World is a bad movie if you actually watch it. I could see people not really caring for it, but it's hard for this movie to invoke a feeling of dislike for it unless you have an agenda.

Again, this movie just made me remember how many people in the world aren't good. People can say those are the minority and they're just yelling really loudly, but elections happen all the time that are proof like half of people suck. If 48% of people such it's hard for me to say that's a minority just because it's slightly smaller than half.
