Strange World (2022)

This movie is perhaps one of the worst Disney films I have ever seen. Despite the stunning animation that comes from it, this film is muddled with a boring plot and little humor to sustain it. On top of that, is the woke agenda that it subtly promotes in the name of the LGBT community. 

Overall, this film is skippable and if the movie was worth my praise it would get a longer more positive reception from me. You are better off watching some of the studios' better entries with the likes of Big Hero 6 or Frozen.
