| Disney's first animated movie with a prominent gay character bombs |
| 2022-11-26 |
| [American Thinker] In 2021, Disney greenlit Strange World, an animated movie about a family journeying through a mysterious land to save a resource that’s losing its energy. Bob Iger, who is returning to Disney to "save" it from Bob Chapek’s sad tenure, was still on board in 2021, so he must have greenlit it. That’s a relevant fact because the movie bombed at the box office. Coincidentally or not, the movie has an openly gay subtext as one of the main male characters crushes on another boy. Before the movie opened, the media wanted audiences to know about the gay romance, probably under the mistaken belief that audiences would care: Disney’s upcoming adventure film "Strange World" will feature a gay teen romance — the first in an animated feature produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. On Friday, Disney screened three sequences from the film at the 2022 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, one of the world’s most important festivals for the film animation industry that takes place in the city of Annecy, in southeast France. In one of them, Ethan (Young-White) flirts with a boy named Diazo in front of his friends, who tease him in a friendly way. His father, Searcher Clade (Gyllenhaal), later joins in and embarrasses him in "an overeager show of acceptance," as the scene is described by Variety. People in the entertainment world were charmed: |

| #10 I know and respect several gays, especially long-term. The ones that I don't respect are the most in-your-face. |

| #9 I have a number of strong opinions, M. I’ll discuss them here, and with certain of my analog friends and relations, but very rarely on Facebook, and never on Twitter, YouTube, etc. What must the FB crowd think of me, based on the evidence they see? |

| #8 You are correct, TW? However, the ones that aren't in everyone else's face aren't exactly trying to blunt the loudmouths' message. Sort of like "moderate muzlims." |

| #6 The problem is, gheys don't want live and let live. They want the gummint beating you over the head to validate their lifestyle choices while the gummint schools indoctrinate your children in gheyness. It's a recipe for antipathy, push back and backlash from the non ghey majority. |

| #5 Most people I know are both agnostic and apathetic about homosexuals. They don't consider if harmful per se, but they aren't all in on it being "normal." I consider it a harmless genetic defect. Except the variation that thinks buggering young kids is just dandy. Those people should either be locked away for ever or executed. Take your pick. |
