Strange World

Strange World (originally titled as Searcher Clade) is an American computer-animated science-fiction action adventure film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 61st animated film produced by the studio, the film is directed by Don Hall, written by Qui Nguyen, and produced by Roy Conli. The film features the voices of Jake Gyllenhaal, Jaboukie Young-White, Gabrielle Union, Lucy Liu, and Dennis Quaid.

Release
Strange World was theatrically released in the United States on November 23, 2022. It was later internationally released on Disney+ one month later on December 23, 2022.

Strange World however did not see a theatrical release in France and was instead released exclusively on Disney+ on December 23, 2022, due to Disney's disagreements with the country's windowing system; a theatrical release would have led to the movie not seeing release on Disney+ in the country until seventeen months later, noticeably later than all other countries.

Strange World was also not released in Russia, in light of the country's invasion of Ukraine. However, the film's Russian dub was still released in some post-Soviet states for their Russian-speaking communities, alongside their countries' respective dubs if available.

Censorship
A sub-plot involving a gay romance between Ethan Clade and his boyfriend Diazo prompted Disney to not release Strange World in the Middle East (except Israel), Bangladesh, China, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, the Maldives, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tanzania, Turkey, Uganda and Vietnam, over concerns that the LGBT content would cause the film to experience censorship or be banned from release altogether. Despite this, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay and Vietnamese dubs of the film were still produced, with the former currently being available on Disney+ worldwide (except Turkey) and the Indonesian and Malay dubs on Disney+ Hotstar in Southeast Asia.

Nepal and Vietnam's inclusion in the list is unusual, as LGBT content is not known to experience censorship in both countries, where attitudes towards homosexuality are becoming more liberal despite the latter not recognizing same-sex relationships.
