MOVIE REVIEW

Imaginative and beautiful to the eye, Disney’s Strange World has much to like, not enough to love. About a man who ventures into an unknown world to save his own–who is then forced to reckon with daddy issues–Strange World is also about acceptance, a theme that co-directors Don Hall and Qui Nguen repetitively hammer upon with increasing tedium.
