'LOL what?'
Before Wish hits theaters, the next Disney Animation feature is Strange World, which opens on Nov. 22. The film was directed by Don Hall (Moana, Big Hero Six) and written by Qui Nguyen (Raya and the Last Dragon). Jake Gyllenhaal voices Searcher Clade, a farmer from a family of explorers who has to put aside his fears to join his son (Jaboukie Young-White) and his wife (Gabrielle Union) to find a special creature. Lucy Liu and Dennis Quaid also voice important characters. Disney shared new footage from Strange World at the convention, but it was not released online.
'Origin story for the Disney Cinematic Universe'
Disney Animation also shared a look at Iwájú, a pan-African science fiction series being made with African entertainment company Kugali Media. Olufikayo Ziki Adeola directed the film with Hamid Ibrahim as production designer and Tolu Oloqofoyeko as cultural consultant. It will be released on Disney+ in 2023.
'Grasping at straws premise'
Scroll on to see the reaction to the Wish announcement.
'Does everything need an origin story?'
"2D and a more unique story then I will be interested. A Blackhole like movie or something unique like Tron and pushing what is possible then you have my attention," one person wrote.
'What if stars talked'
"We are no longer scraping the bottom of the barrel. We are now scraping at the splintered remains of what was once a barrel," one person wrote.
'What if shooting stars have feelings'
"To be clear this is the story of the actual star and not the wish upon a- version of the star from the song," one person wrote, referencing Pixar's struggle to help people understand what Lightyear was about.
