Strange World (2022)
8/10
Great adventure
13 December 2022
Strange World's humour takes a little while to find it's footing and once it does it becomes a great adventure full of heart, wonder and emotion whilst actually delivering meaningful representation that feels like a major first for a studio that has been frustratingly scared of commitment in that department.

Jake Gyllenhaal gives a great lead performance and is a natural at voice acting and his believable father son dynamic with a superb Jaboukie Young-White makes for a strong emotional core. Dennis Quaid is also memorable and is one of the funniest characters.

Don Hall's and Qui Nguyen's direction is excellent with a super vibrant animation style that strikes a really strong balance between photo real and more fantastical designs. The music by Henry Jackman is really good, delivering the necessary sense of awe and wonder.
