Strange World

Synopsis

During an important expedition, the young explorer Searcher Clade discovers a valuable plant that doubles as an energy source and decides to return to his village instead of proceeding further. His father however, the legendary Jaeger Clade, decides to continue into the snowy mountains and seemingly disappears. Twenty-five years later, the village is now a city and is thriving due to the newly unearthed energy source. Searcher, along with his wife Meridian and son Ethan, have become farmers but when the plant that acts as the city's energy source begins to wither, he is asked to venture into an unexplored world to seek out what the problem might be. After discovering that his son Ethan has stowed away on the ship, the family are thrust into an adventure involving unusual creatures, both scary and friendly, as they uncover the mysteries of this strange new world. As much a story about family bonds and the environment as it is about adventure, this new animation is also a colourful and inventive throwback to the great science-fiction adventures of old.
