Review of Onward (2020) by Rcavey92212 — 01 May 2020
Boiled down to its simplicities this is a movie about a boy whose always wanted to know his father. He passed before he was born. The setting for this truly magical film is a world filled with spells, wizards, orcs, elves, fairies and more.
On his 16th birthday Ian is given a gift left by his father. A spell that will let him meet him for only one day. Unfortunately the spell only half works and him and his brother have to go on a quest so make him whole before time runs out.
The movie is funny, sad and heartwarming without being too preachy. At times it can feel a bit familiar but overall it's another solid addition to Pixar's library. Unfortunately the film never had a chance at the box office because of the worldwide pandemic but I'm sure will be somewhat successful with vod and disc sales.
