Strange World Movie Theater Flop is now Number 1 On Disney+

Strange World Movie Theater Flop is now Number 1 On Disney+

After bombing at the box office, Disney’s Strange World is currently the No. 1 movie on Disney+. The film features Jake Gyllenhaal, Lucy Liu, Dennis Quaid, and Jaboukie Young-White. Strange World is an animated sci-fi adventure film from Walt Disney Animation that was released in theaters on November 23.

Despite generally positive reviews from fans and critics, Strange World was a massive flop at the box office, grossing only $18.6 million in its opening weekend. The film is estimated to lose Disney at least $100 million.

Despite its box office struggles, Strange World has now rallied to become the number one streamed title on Disney+, overtaking Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl, according to streaming watchers FlixPatrol. Strange World premiered on Disney+ on December 23, 2022 and has climbed to the top of the rankings on the streaming platform.

Currently, the Top 10 titles on Disney+ include Strange World, Avatar, Encanto, Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl, Moana, Turning Red, Disenchanted, Raya and the Last Dragon, Frozen, and Frozen 2.

Many have credited a failure to market Strange World as the primary cause for the film’s lack of success at the box office. While flops are rare for Walt Disney Studios at the box office, Strange World’s lack of success is not an isolated incident. Just this past summer, Pixar’s Lightyear suffered from mixed reviews and underperformed significantly for a heavily marketed title. Strange World received little to no marketing, and many fans took to social media to say they weren’t even aware that Disney had released a title. Stange World was heavily overshadowed by Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which was in its second week when Strange World was released in theaters.

Despite its struggles, Strange World is now thriving on the streaming service and is being compared to Encanto, which underperformed in theaters but became a cultural phenomenon after its appearance on Disney+. We are just excited that now that it’s readily available on Disney+, Strange World is getting the attention and love that it deserves.

Beni the Okapi Calf Makes First Appearance at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Beni the Okapi Calf Makes First Appearance at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Beni the okapi calf has made his first appearance at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! Beni the okapi calf has been introduced to the Pembe Savanna.

Guests watched with delight as Beni cautiously but curiously explored the new sights and smells of the savanna with his mom Olivia closely nudging him on from behind. Since his birth in July, Beni has grown to a height of four feet tall and weighs around 230 pounds. And while he still stays pretty close to mom, he is slowly becoming more independent and his endearing personality is starting to show as he matures.

One of the most magical sights is witnessing an animal step onto the savanna for the first time. It inspires guests to connect and care about animals they otherwise may never see, and it’s a major accomplishment for Beni’s care team who have worked for months to prepare him for this exciting moment.

Okapis are endangered in their home country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and they are very good at camouflaging themselves into the rainforest, so getting to see them roam the savanna here at Walt Disney World Resort is incredibly special.

Beni is the first calf of mom Olivia and dad Elombe, and his birth was part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan which ensures the responsible breeding of threatened and endangered species in managed care. Programs like these make it possible for people to experience this majestic species first-hand at accredited institutions across the country, and Disney is elated to be one of them. Disney also has a long history of supporting conservation organizations dedicated to protecting okapis and the forests they call home. Funds from the Disney Conservation Fund have helped monitor wild okapi populations, reduce deforestation, and support the well-being of local communities who share the forest with this iconic species.

Next time you’re at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, be sure to stop by Kidani Village and say hello to Beni and Olivia. Plus, you can experience the wonder of okapis from home by streaming the second season of “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom,” which was released on Disney+ recently.

Have you ever seen the okapis at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge?

If you’d like to plan your next visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, contact me today! I am the preferred travel partner with Chip & Co and my services are complimentary. I’d love to help you plan a magical vacation!

New Woody and Bo Peep Loungefly Bag

Woody and Bo Peep together at last. This new Loungefly Toy Story bag featuring Woody and Bo Peep featured in a zippered heart-shaped pocket is the perfect bag for Valentine’s day or any day.

Woody & Bo Peep a Love Story

Toy Story 4 ends with Sheriff Woody and Bo Peep reuniting and making the choice to stay together forever. It was an emotional moment in the films ending that is perfectly portrayed on this beautiful Loungefly.

Background Design

The background design on the bag pays homage to Andy’s room when he had his cloud design walls in his pre-Buzz Lightyear phase.

Side Pockets

The side pockets feature gold stars against a navy blue background.

Interior Design

“What would you say if I get someone else to watch the sheep for me tonight?” Flirty Bo Peep wouldn’t leave her sheep far behind. Here they are hidden away on the back of the backpack. I just love cute hidden details like this.

The print inside the bag is a repeating pattern of Bo Peep and Woody in an embrace.

Pricing & Location

The bag is priced at $75.00 and we found ours at the Beverly Sunset Boutique in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This shop features Pixar-themed merchandise.
