Since Lightyear came out on D+ it's been one of our toddler's requested movies. The first time we watched it I almost laughed when I saw the "LBGT content" people were so bent out of shape about. Then I saw someone ranting about how could a female character get pregnant when they're married to a woman? According to them, that's just confusing for kids! Apparently, a civilization capable of traveling through space can't figure out IUI or IVF.I feel like if any recent Disney movie has very on the nose messaging, it would be Zootopia. But I barely heard anyone complain about that at the time. I just find it so disheartening that, similar to Lightyear, people are getting so worked up over seeing an LGBT character in a movie. Disney's LGBT rep admittedly isn't great (this is coming from someone who is LGBT) but those characters do not make a movie "political".
As for Strange World, I saw a bunch of previews on Disney Junior but still had no idea what it was about. I'm not going to bring my toddler to the movies any time soon, but when we finally do it's probably going to be a big Blockbuster. I'm part of the problem.
