Title
Strange World
Description
During an exploration with his father, Jaeger, Searcher discovers a new plant that emits energy. After a fight with his father, they part ways, and Searcher returns to his home, Avalonia, with the plant. However, twenty-five years later, this power source is no longer sustainable, and a team is gathered to solve the issue. Searcher, who has since become a farmer and started a family, joins the team. Unbeknownst to him, his son, Ethan, excited about going on an exploration, and his dog, Legend, sneak onto the ship.
Ethan is the first openly gay lead animated character in a Disney movie, voiced by comedian and writer Jaboukie Young-White. This is not Young-White’s first time voicing a gay character for Disney, as earlier that year he voiced the character Mbita in the 2022 limited series Baymax! currently streaming on Disney+.
