Strange World

A few life-or-death close calls: in an aircraft, on an all-terrain vehicle, and just on foot in a seemingly hostile environment. The opening scene includes a sad moment when a father leaves his teen behind to finish a dangerous mission. In the undiscovered land, various people are nearly hurt by living beings; an aircraft is nearly irreparably damaged. A pilot is sucked out of an aircraft, but his presumed death isn't lingered on or discussed. Characters use a flamethrower and other weapons to defeat foes. The family is locked away when they pose a threat to the status quo.

Ethan's married parents kiss and embrace several times throughout the movie in a brief but loving manner. Ethan expresses romantic interest in his crush, Diazo, on a few occasions but is only seen speaking to him once. In one quick shot he's shown standing next to him in a side hug.

Insults like "really bad dad," "I don't want to be anything like you," etc.

Adults drink what looks like beer from bottles.

The Clades (voiced by Jake Gyllenhaal and Gabrielle Union) are an interracial couple with a biracial, LGBTQ+ teen son (Ethan, voiced by Jaboukie Young-White). No one questions Ethan's crush on another boy, even his alpha male grandfather. Filmmakers and cast have made a point of saying that people like Ethan and his family exist in the real world, so it wasn't an issue at all for them to make him both interracial and gay. The Clades' dog has three legs, a subtle representation of a happy, loving, disabled dog. Additional diversity within supporting voice cast (Lucy Liu, Karan Soni, etc.). Writer and co-director Qui Nguyen is Vietnamese American. The plot is largely male-centered, but the two main women characters, Meridian and Callisto, are hyper-capable, tough, and courageous.
