Disney is bringing out all the stars for their latest animated adventure flick, Strange World. It was announced this week that Dennis Quaid, Gabrielle Union and Lucy Liu will showcase their voice work in the film.
They’ll be joining a cast that already includes Jake Gyllenhaal. ‘Strange World’ is being directed by Don Hall, who worked on the Big Hero 6 film, as well as the 2021 film, Raya and the Last Dragon.
Strange World follows three generations of the Clade family, legendary explorers, who arrive at a dazzling land full of mysterious phenomena – shoals of flying fish, walking rock columns, and octopus-looking monsters. Narrated in a retro visual style of ‘50s sci-fi B movies, ‘Strange World’ will have granddad Jaeger Clade voiced by Quaid.
This project has been described as a throwback tale of sorts, inspired by the works of Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The full voice cast was announced at a Walt Disney Animation Studios showcase at France’s Annecy Animation Festival, which began with the award of an honorary Annecy Cristal to Jennifer Lee, WDAS chief creature officer best known as writer-director of ‘Frozen,’ which won her an Academy Award, and ‘Frozen II.’
Strange World is expected to hit theaters on November 23, just in time for the Thanksgiving box office.
