Abstract

Disney's Strange World offers an accessible and engaging entry point for students to interact with biological concepts and processes. This article will discuss some of the analogs represented in the film, educator tips for using audiovisual media in the science classroom, and questions that teachers can use to allow students to critique the film's representations of scientific concepts. Strange World is a treasure trove for biology teachers and students of all ages and deserves its place among the educational media for this generation in the same way that The Magic School Bus and Bill Nye the Science Guy have served as learning tools for former generations.
