Description of Strange World Footage: Disney releases a page from the science fiction pulp [D23]

The first footage shown at D23 was a new trailer that looks like a mix of "Lost in Space" with a Jules Verne twist. We see a family working on a farm, when a ship shows up, piloted by a pilot, President Callisto Mal (voiced by Lucy Liu) who tells them the world is in grave danger. She invites them to join her expedition, and our intrepid protagonist Searcher Clade (voiced by Jake Gyllenhaal), who longs to find his famous explorer father who disappeared as a child, accepts.

They land in a world full of wild creatures and spore-like monsters, and there they meet Searcher's father, Jaeger Clade (voiced by Dennis Quaid), a swaggering, grizzled, dirty explorer. There's a strained and contentious relationship between Searcher and Jaeger, which the trailer intercuts with glimpses of a cute little blue goop they call Splat, and a creature that smashes the ship's window and grabs the pilot. .

As we saw in the first trailer, "Strange World" is full of adventure and a classic sci-fi feel, reminiscent of the pulpy sci-fi series of the 1920s and 30s that influence the movie. And the second double clip on the pulp even more exciting.
