This is a cartoon feature - not unlike Shrek, Alladin ect - no 6-10 yr old is interested in coming of age love.
And vlogger Timcast added more about this on his vlog.

It might be worth to bump this thread with this vlog who talked of the movie Strange World who bombed.

People seemed to bypass Disney and their convoluted social messages ....

and went and saw "The Chosen" which ended up being a box office smash !

Shocked the entertainment industry....a story about Jesus came in #3 ..and it was only Episode 1 and 2 of season 3..it's a miniseries.

For all of you that are disgusted, outraged, etc, remember that hatred is learned. Your grandchildren are growing up in a much more accepting culture than many of you did. Carry on...

People are speaking with their wallets...they do not want to see this stuff.
I wouldn't want to see this stuff either.
And people aren't putting up with any of this guilting talk.

Disney films have turned into some type of social propaganda to normalize non-normal behavior.

If you support this so much go and bring all your friends to see it.

I think society as a whole is a lot more accepting as each year passes but I've never experienced the constant "push" when it came to mixed marriages and people coming out which all occurred as I grew up.

The old adage of you can attract more bees with honey than vinegar is true. To physical and verbally assault people does nothing to gain support for causes. To keep shoving something in someone's face or down their throats does nothing but alienate people and that's what's going on today.

Indeed and you might add the virtue signaling to that mix and that didn't help things either. I feel they became what they hate and it's like in some old movies scenarios where the hero lived long enough to became the vilain just like how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader.

I won't read through this whole thread. But I see many positives in 'Strange World'.

Our last real home, was in Madison, Mississippi. There, the word 'Disney', was used in the same way that that 'K-Mart' and 'Walmart' were used: to describe something as cheap, tacky, and for the Underclass.

"She's a total Disney princess", meant that someone was from an unacceptable background, spoiled, newly-affluent, clueless, with no enculturation beyond pop culture/mass marketing, and not fit to be around one's own children.

In Madison, I heard the cheap, ugly, plastic pink used for cheap clothes and girls' toys, called, "K-Mart Pink", "Walmart Pink", and "Disney Pink". Some white trash, who were county natives, cheaply constructed for themselves, a borderline megamansion, at the edge of town. When Portland and Manhattan and Aspen started going to the dogs, we considered buying the place, mostly for warehousing our stuff, in case we had to return to the South - or make like Romanovs fleeing to the Crimea during the Revolution (while we debated, the place sold, at Asking, to an incoming industrialist from an awful place). "Did you see that girl's room? Disney Princess Purple! ...almost as sickening as that giant catfish fryer on that party porch out-back! Don't you know they listened to them some Allman Brothers on those giant speakers, while they wuz shovelin' hushpuppies into thurrrrrrrr gapin' maws? The rancid grease stench will soak right through your moving boxes... along with the herbicides they obviously spray everywhere. And they probably had a Glade Plug-in in every room. Do NOT buy that monstrosity!", was Babette's assessment.

Our sons, because they're "Dark Olive", with exaggerated jawlines and exaggerated upper body mass, have been described as "Straight out of Disney". They are not amused. Disney is largely responsible for creating, through its cartoons of the last few decades, body expectations which are impossible for most young people to ever live up to.

Disney helped create the expectation that the dark, hunky guy, the lovable oaf with the endless shoulders, was supposed to fall in love with the perfectly-proportioned hyperblonde princess. And the hyperblond guy/prince was supposed to fall in love with the dusky-&-lovely maiden/princess.

Well... we inhabited a microcosm obsessed with diet, fitness, and avoidance of harmful substances. So, our kids grew up to look like Disney's dusky stereotypes of hotness. In contrast to the hypogonadism and atrophy exhibited by sedentary kids fed the Standard American Diet, our kids were hypergonadic/hypertropic. Though Disney was verboten in our world, the images found their way in, anyway. Today, our boys only date hyperblondes. I blame Disney. Our daughter married a hyperblond. ...because, being physically-exceptional (and rich) our kids COULD. ... because, thanks to Disney, they were "supposed to" (in accordance with nonverbal suggestions deposited in growing brains, by the Cartoon Industry - led by Disney).

So, it's nice to see shabbily-dressed characters - guys with tiny shoulders - people with pear-shaped bodies and round faces (me, as a malnourished kid, basically), presented as viable people - even as heroes. And why should we care, who falls in love with whom? It hurts nobody, when guys love other guys. It's a reflection of REAL LIFE. Disney has created an antidote to the cartoon masculinity and cartoon femininity one normally sees in entertainment aimed at the lower classes.

Disney has created a bit of antidote to the Body-Dysmorphia-creating physical stereotypes created by the company's earlier cartoon creations.

Speaking of cartoonish masculinity versus real-life, one need only think of a certain ultra-famous bodybuilder, son of a Nazi, who arrived on our shores, already on a massive 'roids/HGH protocol, supported/rented by Gay men (including his crime-connected mentor, who was, at the time, taking-over the "sport"). He married into an American Nazi family, and has lived a cartoonish life (most recently railing against our freedom to refuse potentially-harmful medical interventions).

Do you know what the cartoon-masculine "Professional Wrestlers" REALLY do, when they're on-the-road (and have done, for as long as "Wrestling" has been on TV? ...probably even longer). They share a lot more than hotel rooms and tour buses (and I'm not talking about those ugly steroid-fed skanks who play their love interests, while the cameras are running). This was going on, in the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s... and probably still is the norm, today.

Bitsi and I were helping a Gay friend edit his porn archives. One keeper, was from a 1970s mag - an article on homosexuality in Professional Wrestling in the '50s and '60s - naming names (don't get excited: in those pre-steroid days, wrestlers didn't look very good). Other keepers were snippets about "The Ultimate Warrior", whose virtue-signaling persona, toward the end of his life, was proven a lie, by his early days in Atlanta. And I won't pass-along the stories from the long-gone South Jackson (Mississippi) YMCA, where wrestling tour buses used to stop, in the '80s, because it had a good gym (and was in an obscure locale, where nobody would be telling-tales). But remember that wrestling dynasty from Denton, Texas?

I have fresher stories from a famous gym in an adjacent state, about still-current wrestlers (and menfolk whose private jets are steadily flying in and out of that little town: don't worry, fellas, I won't ruin it for ya).

Beyond that, I would like to point-out the preponderance of "conservative" "talk hosts" - those guys wearing headsets and yelling into oversized microphones - whose popularity is due, primarily, to the fact that other men (secretly) find them wildly-attractive? Most guys won't and can't articulate, but one male friend, who grew up in an agressively-analytical Freudian household, says, "Alex Jones is a moron. And every word out of his mouth is horsepucky. But I'd love to get him in the sack." Ditto consensus, among the Gay and Bi men I know, for Joe Rogan and Dan Bongino. Less introspective males, seem unable to dissect their fascination with these characters.

Is this the root of certain people's being disturbed by 'Strange World'? Does it force introspection?
