I do remember seeing some advertising for Strange World but it was completely forgetful. I did not even realize that they had a gay child in it, it was just meh, the color filter they are using is also incredibly bad.
So not sure if they did not want to hype as much as they hired diversity hires to do the advertising.
I watched a trailer of it myself just to sate my curiosity, and good god, it was so damn generic. It encompassed everything that I dislike or have grown bored of in western CG animated films. Same doughy character design templates, same damn scrawny, bumbling, socially awkward protagonist (though now he's accompanied by MULTIPLE bumbling, socially awkward people just to ensure that every scene is a cringefest), same eye-raping neon colors everywhere, same sentimental story about FAMILY (by people who've been trying to tear it down for decades). About the only thing it seems to do different is make everyone sound like an obnoxious modern-day hipster, including a damn lisper, which is a great way to take me out of the fantastical world they're trying to portray.
