Pixar’s “Onward”

[HereWeGo]

The newest original feature from Pixar.

Release date is March 6th, 2020. It stars Chris Pratt, Tom Holland, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer.

Plot: Disney-Pixar's Onward. Set in a "suburban fantasy world," the animated adventure introduces teenage elf brothers "who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there."

I'm into it.

I’m imagining it being a film with quite a few laughs based the cast.

I look forward to the Up/Onward crossover: "Upward and Onward"

Trailer debuts later tonight, during the NBA Finals.

I'd be thrilled to be wrong, but the character design/aesthetic here skews a little too Dreamworks for me.

Happy Pixar is turning back to original content, but then I remember Brave. Of course, that movie went through a lot of production issues IIRC.

Pixar literally released Coco in 2017

I’ll wait to see more. The cast still has me intrigued.

So Chris Pratt is just going to do his "Starlord trying to sound manly" voice the whole time, huh?

At least Holland’s character doesn’t remind me of his Spider-Man voice. That would be too weird for me.

I have slightly higher hopes for this movie after seeing how good TS4 turned out to be. Remember the terrible, terrible teaser trailer that Pixar gave us for TS4? Hopefully that ends up being the case here too. Just a bad teaser.

Bring. Your. Tissues.

I'm getting some WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S/INVISIBLE MAN vibes... in a good way. Looks pretty fun at this stage, I think.

ORIGINAL CONTENT AAAAYYYYYYYYY

Just watched the movie on Disney+. A fairly weak effort by Pixar standards, imo. The first half drags, but does manage to pick up in the second half.

It does have the typical deeper meanings and emotional moments you would expect from a Pixar outing, but this movie is unfortunately far closer to The Good Dinosaur than to a top-tier Pixar movie.

It's on my agenda to get to at some point, but I'm not exactly bumping it up the list.
