Onward is a 2020 American animated urban fantasy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It was directed by Dan Scanlon, produced by Kori Rae, and written by Scanlon, Jason Headley, and Keith Bunin. [b]The film features voice casts Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer. Set in a contemporary suburban fantasy world, the film tells the story of brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (Holland and Pratt) as they attempt to find an artifact that will bring their deceased father, Wilden (Kyle Bornheimer), back to life for 24 hours.
After directing Monsters University (2013), Scanlon was encouraged to develop a personal story. The concept for Onward was inspired by the death of Scanlon’s father, who died in a car accident when Scanlon and his brother were young, and their relationship. He began writing the story after hearing an audio clip of his father. The film was announced at the D23 Expo in July 2017, and the title was announced along with the voice cast in December 2018. After studying several animated films that used magic to set in suburban settings, the animation team decided to give the film’s magic its own style. Onward took six years to develop with a budget of approximately $175–200 million. Composers Michael and Jeff Dana were hired to compose the film’s music, and Brandi Carlile contributed original songs to the film.

Onward Movie Story
Long ago, in a world filled with mythical creatures, magic was commonplace, though difficult to master. As technology advanced over the centuries, magic became outdated and eventually fell into disuse. In the modern day, Ian Lightfoot is a teenage elf struggling with self-confidence. His older brother, Barley, is an avid and impulsive role-player. Their father, Wilden, died shortly before Ian was born, and their mother, Laurel, has a new boyfriend, centaur police officer Colt Bronco, but the brothers hate him. On Ian’s 16th birthday, Laurel gives the boys a gift from Wilden: a magic wand, a rare Phoenix gem, and a letter describing the “Unforgettable Spell” that can bring Wilden back to life for one day. Ian manages to cast the spell, but is interrupted by Barley before completing it. As a result, only the lower half of Wilden’s body retreats before the gem disintegrates. The brothers go to find another gem, hoping to complete the spell before sunset.
They take Barley’s beloved car, “Guinevere.” Laurel realizes that the boys have disappeared and goes to look for them. In search of a map to the gem, the brothers visit Manticore’s Tavern, accompanied by Savage. Once a meeting place for aspiring adventurers, the tavern is now a family restaurant run by Manticore (“Corey”). While arguing with Ian over the menu, Corey realizes how mundane his life has become and, in a rage, chases away the customers and accidentally sets fire to the menu and the restaurant. The only remaining clue to the jewel’s location is a child’s map that points to Raven’s Point, a nearby mountain. Shortly after the boys leave, Laurel arrives and befriends Corey. Corey warns the brothers that their journey may awaken a curse that can only be defeated with a special sword the women stole from a pawn shop.
Onward Movie Review
Despite the controversial LGBTQ characters, which I still think are unnecessary, Onward is another Pixar blockbuster with all the heart, emotion, and humor you expect from a Pixar movie. It’s a movie that will make you laugh, cry, and be moved, all with adult themes. I must also say that in my opinion, this may be one of Pixar’s best original scores since Inside Out. The music here makes the movie even more emotional. While I don’t believe that Onward is one of the Pixar classics like Finding Nemo, the Toy Story series, or WALL-E, I still believe that Onward is another Pixar blockbuster that has it all. It has what you would expect from a Pixar movie!
