Onward is the new Pixar film that takes place in a land where Magic once ruled but has now made way to progress and two brothers (Chris Pratt and Tom Holland) who learn of a spell to bring their dead father back to life for one day but when the spell goes wrong they have to go an quest to fix the spell.
Onward is a nice return to form for Pixar in that this isn’t a sequel but a new original story and it was one that I had a lot of fun with as the world of this movie was a great one to inhabit in for a couple of hours, the way that the ancient world and the modern world nicely blend together and I wanted to see more of it, the history, the road stops, the maps it’s a very cool world to see.
As for the overall storytelling it was pretty good albeit a little predictable in terms of the relationship between the brothers which Mr Pratt and Mr Holland sell very well in their voice work though my favourite role would have to be Ms Octavia Spencer as the Manticore who is having a great time as a former legendary warrior who adjusted to the normal workaday world.
And so that was Onward and it is the most fun I’ve had with a Pixar film for a good while probably not since Inside Out in 2015 and hopefully the excellent looking Soul will deliver the goods as well, 3 and a half out of 5.
