When is Avalonia: The Strange Journey released?
Avalonia, the strange journey (or Strange World in the original version) should be available by the end of the year. However, no specific date has yet been communicated. In the United States, the film will appear in dark rooms November 23, 2022. The work could be available in France around this date, but nothing is less certain. The previous Disney Animation Classic, Raya and the Last Dragon, had to wait 3 months between its release in the United States and that in France. Here we hope that the delay will be shorter, it seems complicated to imagine that the subsidiary with the big ears deprives itself of his new animated film for the parties.
The main reason that could explain this potential delay is the initial broadcast of this film on Disney+. Indeed, Avalonia, the strange journey will be the second Disney animated classic to be released directly in streaming. You are now used to it, the media chronology prevents you from seeing these new films in dark rooms. Previously, three other animated films from the American group had the right to be broadcast exclusively on SVOD. These were Soul and Luca, co-produced by Pixar, and the previous 100% Disney animated film, Raya and the Last Dragon. As a reminder, the latter was originally due to be released in theaters, but had experienced multiple postponements during the Covid pandemic. Thus, it was finally exclusively available in streaming, this against the initial will of its producers.
What is the story of Avalonia, the strange journey?
Avalonia, the strange journey recount the adventure of the Clades, a family whose grandfather, who disappeared during a mission, was a famous explorer. Convinced to discover a still unknown land, Searcher Clade sets off on an adventure to this new land. Baptized Avalonia, it offers landscapes, animals and sights as strange and dangerous as they are magnificent. Accompanied by his son Ethan, Searcher will find his father by chance in the middle of this wild territory. Surrounded by danger, the family will then have to help each other to carry out this exploration. However, this adventure could turn into a nightmare because of the stormy relations between the different Clade generations. We will also meet a blob named Splat. Acting as a sidekick alongside the character of Ethan, this being as blue as it is moving will undoubtedly remind some of the character of Morph in the film Treasure Planet.
Who are the creatives behind Avalonia, the strange journey?
At the head of this project, we note the presence of a regular at the Disney studios. Behind several major successes of the last decade, it is the American director Don Hall who leads this project. We owe him in particular Disney animation classics such as The New Heroes, Moana: The Legend of the End of the World or the film Winnie the Pooh released in 2011. In the script, we find the American Who Nguyen. The latter also appears as co-director of the feature film. Best known for his plays and musicals, this is only the second time he has worked with the studio. Indeed, he had already participated in the writing of Raya and the Last Dragon released in 2021.
Who is the cast of Avalonia: The Strange Journey?
A few months before the release, we still do not know the French dubbers of this new Disney film. Although a VF trailer was released on September 21, 2022, no official confirmation has been made about the French cast. For the original cast, star talent is in order. As often in the world of American dubbing, it is Hollywood celebrities who give their voices to the leading roles. Thereby, Jake Gyllenhaal will intervene in the skin of Searcher Clade. For other family members, it is Dennis Quaid who will double grandfather Jaeger and Jaboukie Young-White who will take care of the youngest, Ethan. Gabrielle Union will play Meridian, wife of Searcher and mother of Ethan, and lucy liu will play Callisto Mal, leader of the expedition to Avalonia.

The release of Avalonia, the strange journey on Disney+ caused a lot of ink to flow. Indeed, the direct release of this feature film on the SVOD platform is an integral part of the showdown between the brand with the big ears and the French government. The law of media chronology prohibits streaming platforms from broadcasting a film released in theaters before a period of 17 months. If this law was recently modified, neither Disney nor Amazon had reached an agreement with the government, unlike Netflix.
In addition, the multinational had put pressure on this law by threatening not to release its next Marvel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, in dark rooms. A favorable outcome for the theatrical release has however been found for this second opus of the adventures of the Marvel hero. To see, if the upcoming negotiations will allow the next American studio animation classics to appear in cinemas.
We would like to give thanks to the writer of this post for this awesome material
