Disney’sStrange Worldis available to stream starting today, bringing the fantastical adventure of the Clade family home in time for the holidays. The film follows the legendary family of adventurers on a treacherous journey to save their planet’s power source in the strange world beneath the surface. Searcher Clade (Jake Gyllenhaal), however, is no explorer, but a mere farmer called into action. In order for the mission to succeed, the family must learn to put its differences aside and navigate the strange new lands together. With the release on Disney+, a new blooper reel from the upcoming physical release of the film is out showing the cast flubbing lines and goofing off in the recording booth.
Everyone starts off the recording very confident until they immediately start laughing and flubbing lines. Much of the video is Gyllenhaal messing up, getting tongue-tied, or just generally goofing around with different ways of speaking his lines. For everyone else, it’s a mix.Lucy Liucan’t keep it together while saying “come on” repeatedly,Jaboukie Young-Whitemixes up exposition and expedition, andDennis QuaidandGabrielle Unionjust have fun in the booth in general, delivering their lines with extra hand movements and plenty of emphases.
TheStrange Worldbloopers will be just one part of the package of bonus content included with the4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD releaseof the film. Also included in the release will be four new featurettes that take a more in-depth exploration of the film, its creation, the creatures of the titular strange world, the real-world science behind it, and the easter eggs hidden in plain sight by the team. The typical deleted scenes are also there alongside the outtakes, allowing viewers to see what was left on the cutting room floor.
