I loved the movie! Children were laughing. As well as adults! It was hilarious and delightful! But yes, at the end there were a few older children and adults with tears. I was one of them. The ending is bittersweet, as they finally get to tell their dad goodbye.... . A fanstastic movie that made my cry and appreciate family. Excellent work Pixar. You’ve nailed it again. This movie has so much heartand is funny, sensational, emotional, interesting, plot- twisting, wonderful, beautiful and most importantly worthwhile. The ending was Super and this movie can definitely relate to our lives. One of the best movies I have ever seen that will bring you on quite the adventure of a lifetime. Amazing characters and plot line.

I think the movie was great, very well made for all ages with a great storyline! It was super funny and comedic with some mystery and lots more throughout the movie. These usually aren't my type, but I'd definitely give it a 5 stars! I would for sure watch this again, and really enjoyed the first time of viewing when I was with my family. We don't usually made it through the whole movie as we are quiet a large family with varying ages, but this kept all of us interested enough to last better than ever!

Onward isn't one of Pixar's best but its still a great fantasy adventure about rediscovering magic that's fun, funny and emotional. Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are both incredible and have perfect chemistry. Octavia Spencer and Julia Louis-Dreryfus are both great. As usual the animation is incredible and consistently stunning.

Onward is as majestic and magical as its setting with crisp animation, fluid chemistry from Pratt & Holland's respective characters and the overall heartfelt mannerism that's tugging the heart strings. Disney & Pixar continue to thrive on their original storytelling and cathartic tone and this film is no different.

Murali posted a review for Onward in Movies
The film, which had its world premiere at the Berlinale 2020, begins in a time, long long ago, when there was magic in this world. All mythical creatures knew how to use magic, be free and explore. Over time, the magic started dying and civilisation, as we know it, tamed the creatures. This is the background of Onward, which follows the quest of two elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, to find a jewel that can bring back their dead father. The film functions on two levels, one where the mythical creatures, living in a suburban area, learn to tap into the magic they forgot they had, and other is a more personal one — the pursuit of an absentee father. While the film earnestly and successfully builds up the emotional crescendo with the two brothers, the attempt to reinvigorate magic in a suburban life (allegorically, the world we inhabit today) remains a rather neglected by-product. Onward's philosophy remains on the surface, and even predictable, which is not the level of emotional intelligence we expect from Pixar.

Abi posted a review for Onward in Movies
The protagonists in this movie commit a whole bunch of crimes for which there are apparently no consequences. I obviously don't know how laws work in a fantasy land, but it makes me wonder why they have police officers in the first place of you are allowed to impersonate them, run from them, and commit straight-up assault without any visible penalty. Not a good lesson for kids.

Disney and Pixar has done it again! what a great movie. Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are great together. They were both funny and brought the characters to life. It will make to tear up and I heard a lot of sniffles in the movie theater and mind you 95 percent of the people were adults. So bring some tissues. I highly recommend you to see this movie.

A very traditional adventure quest which has a different setting but doesn't really use it to best effect. Not as funny as I was expecting, but its heart is definitely in the right place and the moral message and the story is superbly told. The animation and voice acting are good, although there weren't any stand out moments, and there was a good mix of supporting characters.

The concept isn't new but it's engaging and funny enough that you aren't bored. Even if it is an average movie from Pixar, it will be entertaining than many movies that are coming these days because of their narration and one liners. Brother love part of the story is engaging while the dead father trope is used too much. One thing that deserves massive applause was animation and set pieces. Brillaint work from the team and if you want to take your kid for a movie this will be it. Great for children. Okayish movie for adults. Kind of boring one for movie lovers. Recommended. 3/5.

Nancy posted a review for Onward in Movies
Onward is an enjoyable and magical journey not to be missed. It is filled with creative and imaginative concepts with great influence from mythology, spiritual theory and board games such as Dungeons and Dragons. The story between the two brothers was gripping and as realistic as a fantasy animation can get, and with the film being inspired by director Dan Scanlons story of him losing his father, brings more of an emotional connection, especially nearing the end of the film. I enjoyed the connection that Tom Holland and Chris Patt brought to the film with their talented voice acting skills and really brought the characters and their circumstances to life. Spiritual ideology is hidden withing the script as the movie explores concepts such as manifestation, believing in yourself and of course magic itself. There are quite a few inspirational quotes that can be pulled from this story and used in general day to day life or to even inspire and motivate you to move towards your dreams and to realise what you can truly accomplish. Onward also sees Pixar's first LGBT character, which continues to show animation and the film industry are moving on to educate that the norm that was once known is no the norm of today. Even with the subtlety of a police officer referencing her girlfriend briefly during a scene, brings hope that movies aimed at younger generations are developing a better sense of tolerance and brings more hope to the future. I would recommend this film definitely, however also understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea but a worth to watch.

Kishore posted a review for Onward in Movies
Parents need to know that Onward is Pixar's animated fantasy adventure about two elf brothers -- Ian (voiced by Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) -- whose long-deceased father returns to life for a single day. But when only his bottom half appears, the brothers must go on a thrilling quest to complete the spell that brought him back. They experience peril and danger, go up against fire-breathing creatures, and find themselves in tense situations (like a car chase with angry pixies). The climactic fight scene involves large-scale destruction and sacrifice, but it's somewhat offset by the emotional nature of the brothers' desperation to have some time with their dad. The fact that the plot hinges on a dead father (and his half-body, when it returns) might disturb some young viewers, but ultimately it's more bittersweet than painfully sad. Language is pretty tame and mostly consists of insults ("weirdo") and words like "dang" and "what the ... " (cut off). Two adult characters are in a dating relationship, and another mentions her girlfriend. Families who watch the film are bound to appreciate its messages about teamwork, getting along with siblings, and acting selflessly and courageously.

Agrippa posted a review for Onward in Movies
The dead parent trope might be overused for Disney movies but Onward doesn't make the mistakes of those movies. The siblings fight like siblings though out, not just at plot critical moments. Their single mom has a boyfriend who is not an evil stepparent trope, and their mom is actually proactive during the events of the film, but the adventure still belongs to the boys. I've been tired of plots that have parents oblivious to what their kids are doing. I came for the DnD references but I cried for the well-rounded characters.

Kalapana posted a review for Onward in Movies
In a world inhabited by mythical creatures, magic is commonplace and its wielders are greatly respected. However, due to the difficulty of mastering it as well as technological advances over the years, which make a lot easier to achieve things previously made by magic, the magical instinct and use disappear, as modern civilizations thrive. In a time equivalent to the modern day, two teenage elves live in the city of New Mushroomton: Ian Lightfoot, who lacks in self-confidence, and his older brother Barley, a passionate role-playing and historical fanatic who longs to go on a proper adventure. Their father Wilden died of a severe illness shortly before Ian's birth, leaving their mother Laurel to raise them. Since, Laurel has gotten a new boyfriend, centaur police officer Colt Bronco, whom the boys do not like that much. On Ian's sixteenth birthday, Laurel gives the brothers a gift from Wilden: a magical staff, a rare gem, and a letter describing a "visitation spell" that can resurrect Wilden for a single day. Excited, Ian writes down a list in his notebook of things he wants to do with Wilden when they bring him back to life. Barley attempts to cast the spell to no avail, even after numerous tries. However, Ian succeeds in doing so later that night. Due to Barley's interference, only the lower half of Wilden's body is physically reformed before the gem disintegrates. Resolving to fix their mistake, the brothers leave on a quest in Barley´s beloved van "Guinevere" to acquire another gem in order to reattempt the spell. Laurel finds the boys gone soon after and leaves to find them, following Barley's magic cards as a clue. Ian and Barley first visit the Manticore's Tavern, named for and run by a fearless adventurer who possesses a map to the gem. The tavern has become a mundane family restaurant and the Manticore, Corey, is its uptight manager. In an argument with the boys over the map, Corey realizes how boring her life has become and drives the customers away in a fit of rage, accidentally setting fire to the restaurant and the map. The brothers' only clue is a children's menu that suggests "Raven's Point" as a possible location of the gem. Laurel later arrives at the scene and befriends Corey, who calms down and agrees to help her. Corey warns her that the brothers' journey may lead to the awakening of a vicious beast (a fact she forgot to mention to the brothers), which can only be defeated by a special sword. They find it at a pawn shop, whose owner demands an exorbitant price after she learns of its powerful and magical nature. Corey paralyzes her with a sting, and she and Laurel steal the sword, leaving the owner paralyzed in her shop. As Ian and Barley travel out of New Mushroomton and into a mountainous area, they narrowly escape from the police and a motorcycle gang of pixies, relying on Ian's newly awakened spell-casting abilities and Barley's instinct for where the gem might be hidden. They discover that "Raven's Point" is a hint to follow the directions indicated by a series of crow statues. However, Colt discovers their ruse and gives chase, calling in reinforcements. Cornered in the mountain, Barley sacrifices Guinevere by making it drive to a clump of rocks to stop the police from catching them. Saddened, Barley takes Guinevere's taillight as a remmnant, and tells Ian they must continue. They follow the crow statues, and the last one makes them descend underground through a cave, were they avoid a series of traps, deadly creatures, and escaping the flooding tunnel, until they see a light above them. Surfacing, they emerge through a sewer cover in a street back in the city and in front of their high school. Ian lashes out at Barley for leading them on a wild goose chase and walks away with Wilden. Upset at the fact that he will not get to see his father complete before time expires, Ian scribbles out his list of things to do with Wilden. However, he realizes that Barley has served as an effective father figure throughout his youth and their recent quest and returns to make amends with him. While fending off construction workers, Barley notices a flower-shaped hole in a fountain and fills it with a rock he took from one of the bird statues, triggering the fountain to open and reveal the gem he and Ian need. When he takes it, though, magical force begins to emerge out of it, taking parts of the nearby school to become a massive dragon, which charges at the gem. Ian tries to fend it off with the staff, but it is knocked from his grip and into the ocean; he manages to reform it from a splinter embedded in his hand and continues the fight. Corey flies in carrying Laurel, who plunges the magic sword into the dragon's heart and weakens it long enough for Ian to cast the visitation spell and fully reform Wilden's body. Ian sends Barley ahead to spend time with Wilden before the spell wears off, and he holds off the dragon long enough for Laurel to destroy it. Afterward, Barley tells Ian that Wilden is proud of him and the brothers share a hug. Even though Ian has given up a chance to see his father face to face, he is content with the time the two spent together on the journey. His confidence and spell-casting improve, and he surprises Barley by painting his new van, the "Guinevere 2", which he recently bought. Corey reopens her tavern in its original spirit, drawing in customers with tales of her past adventures, and the citizens of New Mushroomton begin to reclaim their magical heritage

Pandi posted a review for Onward in Movies
Honestly, on seeing the trailer, I thought Pixar is going Disney way with too much fantasy, magic and intermittent songs. Glad, the movie failed to prove that. Its a Pixar typical movie where adults can also relate to their brotherhood. The plot is a 1-day story where 2 brothers go on an adventure quest to see the 'other-half' of their father. The climax is emotional like a typical Pixar way and I don't know how Pixar pulls the magic off in every movie.

Much better than what the trailers make you think. Its great to see Pixar starting the decade with some original stuff for a change, and despite that and releasing during the coronavirus, it's box office results weren't the worst, all things considered. The voice acting is great, animation is awesome and every plot point is used effectively and everything in the film has a purpose for being there. It's always entertaining and never boring, and the stakes are always high enough to care about what's going on. Our leads have great charisma and contrast each other very effectively, and actually grow as characters as the film goes on. While I'm not the biggest fan of Dan Scanlon's previous work on Monsters University, this is definitely a stepup.

The movie fits all ages. It has a lot of important messages including brotherhood and fatherhood. The loss of a relative is always hard. But a father figure is harder. The movie shows this in a way easier to understand and accept. At the beginning didn't feel like a Disney/Pixar film, but gradually came into that. Won't become a Pixar classic but delivers all the joy, fun, adventure and feelings.

Ram posted a review for Onward in Movies
Pixar comes up with a rather fresh concept, fantasy creatures in a modern times world, with some strong emotional moments. It was an excellent idea to make the film about the two brothers Ian (voiced by Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) going on a quest to briefly reunite with the the late father they never knew or barely remember. It is a very heartfelt tale: wanting to connect with a relative you never knew. The connection between the two brothers is handled really well. The ending may be up there with some of Pixar's great moments.

Onward is a must see adventure with emotional twists and lots of fun. Beautiful movie in regard to animation and detail. Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are made for these two characters. It had an excellent voice cast and was sweet and endearing. I think I enjoyed it more having read an article beforehand, about the director's personal experience with his dad.

Every Pixar movie is always good and sometimes makes me cry when the movie becomes so meaningful. Congrats to everyone who works in the movie. You guys did amazing in the movie and your talents are amazing. Also, congrats to Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, and the cast. You guys really did bring the movie to life in the my mind for the entire movie. Continue your talent every day in the world. This movie will make you cry and feel like your part of the journey with Ian and Barely. This was a Pixar Perfection Marcial.

When we marvel at the newest technological wonders, that’s what we say. When people flipped on an electric light for their first time or made their first telephone call across town, it must’ve felt “like magic.” Microwave ovens would cook full meals in five minutes “like magic.” ATMs would spit out cash “like magic.” When I watch commercials featuring self-parking cars, I turn to my wife and say, “It’s like magic!” (“Yes, Paul,” she says with a sigh. “So you’ve said.”) It’s not, of course. We may use the word “magic” as a stand-in for technology that has made some arduous, time-consuming or previously impossible task into something easy, fast and, well, possible—a shortcut, if you will, to the real work of doing something. But the folks of Onward know better. Magic, it seems, is hard. This realm was once filled with magic: The elves and goblins and cyclopses (cyclopsi?) who live there learn about how prelevant magic used to be in their high school history classes. But casting even simple spells ain’t so simple: One wrong word or lapse in concentration might burn your kitchen table to a crisp or send your Aunt Edna floating over the backyard fence. The denizens of this unnamed realm discovered that relying on technology was so much easier, so much safer. Why spend the time and effort of casting an illumination spell—risking scorchmarks to the woodwork and terrifying the family lap dragon—when you can just flip a lightswitch? Still, technology can’t do everything. It can’t, for instance, cure the incurable, or bring someone back from the dead.

Ravi posted a review for Onward in Movies
While the animation was gorgeous and full of fun imagery, I felt the story was a touch lacking; especially with its two main characters. They were the stereotypical big doofus brother and insecure/anxious little brother who have to find common ground on a buddy road trip. Honestly, if the story had focused more on who the father really was and perhaps made Barley more of a father figure to Ian, I feel it would've been a lot more heartfelt and possibly have made me cry happy tears. But it followed a very typical formula of two brothers who don't understand each other, have a touching moment, then fight and blow up at each other, then give up, then join back together to defeat the 'bad guy'. The adventure itself was a bit bland and chuck full of random filler moments that added nothing to the overlapping theme. And speaking of which; I don't really know what the theme was... the tone was all over the place, too, which didn't help matters either. It's a harmless movie that'll surely make you laugh (as it did for me), but as storytelling goes it's alright, I suppose. Not groundbreaking like other Pixar films (Toy Story, Up, Inside Out), but you'll have a good time seeing it.

Lime posted a review for Onward in Movies
Pixar manages to create yet another great adventure. "Onward" is a heartfelt journey, that is not fantastic, yet it is vastly gratifying. The movie starts of slow but it is compensated by a preeminent fantasy storyline. Of course, the movie still forms part of the "Pixar-cliche" by using an extensive amount of Pathos. Nonetheless, this tearful, weird-looking, diverting, picture is not to be missed.

Looking past the silly animations and the humor of this movie, Disney brought out an inspiring message for all the world to hear. The movie teaches us to appreciate that we have our fathers by our side and we get to their full support in everything we do in every day of our life. We get to appreciate them for being there for us when we need them, and I think that’s what Disney really wanted to tell every viewer of this movie.

It's a really good and heartwarming movie, but it has the same hero journey, which is not bad, but not a very original concept. Even though we have already seen this type of arch it's done to perfection. The characters are likable, it has funny little jokes, we can see their growth clearly, the final part it's purely emotional and everything that they show has some propose. The magic world could be more explored, and e felt that it was a bit on the short side, but maybe it was because I enjoyed the movie so much that I didn't realize the time passing.

This movie is super sweet, yes it may have a lot of "disney-pixar" cliches, a simple plot and a somewhat predictable outcome but it has a great spirit and a very accurate brother relationship, which I think is something we don't see a lot in movies. I have two brothers and I made such a connection with the characters that is maybe why I like it more than other people With this movie, as they did with Frozen, Disney is beting on stories about family love, specifically sibling love.

Fleming posted a review for Onward in Movies
I caught an early screening; for me, it was that the movie was about two brothers on this journey, but the focus was just on the younger brother. He had the entire growth arc, while the older was just there and the lesson for him was "just because someone is weird doesn't mean they're wrong" so at the end we get all this show of Ian making friends and be confident, but Barley just... gets a new van. WHOOP. How about, with elements that are already in the script, making him do something more with himself? His mom makes a comment about his noncommitment, why not give him something to shoot for? Also, as a much smaller note - as small as it was in the film - the whole "first animated gay character" was bullshit. It was one line, as a mere passing mention among what was actually important in the scene, and the characters only scene. If they wanted more, Colt was a nothing character other than a passing protagonist for Barley; let their mom find more of herself and start a relationship with Matty! There's already more between them than anything they give us with Colt and his, even intentional, very dad jokes

Tineesh posted a review for Onward in Movies
I saw this film with my 4 year old son and my wife. We loved the film. The story is a bit safe but what I loved is the constant changing of scenery and characters. We were never bored and loved Holland, Pratt, Dreyfus and Spencer. The dynamic between the brothers, played by Pratt and Holland was the highlight of the film. Their chemistry built up over the film and delivered an endearing message: love what you have and realize that family is all we have at times. The animation and magic essences were solid. We love moana, Nemo and Up a bit more as they just feel more well rounded and original but this is a great family film that is highly watchable and certainly fun for all ages.

Life posted a review for Onward in Movies
I got to see Onward at an early screening tonight and wanted to come back to this review. As someone who lost a parent as a teen, and has had a few people who have kind of filled in since (it's been 8 years), this movie was very touching to me (I cried a lot, stopped crying long enough to get to my car, and cried driving home). I think it's easy to get caught up on the dad legs because it's a weird distraction, and that seems to be the focus, but dad legs is more just the method to tell the story of the kid and his brother. If you don't have that connection point of losing someone and either having regrets about it and/or feeling alone/like you're missing something until you have the chance to realize that one person or few people that have been there for you while you worked it out for yourself, I don't know if this movie will connect as much because that's such a specific experience and dad legs is, again, a weird distraction from that. Personally, it meant a lot to see, and I related to it a lot, which I didn't expect because of reviews like this that said, "it's good, but okay." I went in unprepared and got emotionally wrecked, but I can see why a lot of people wouldn't have the same feelings.

Chandru posted a review for Onward in Movies
This is genuinely the single most amazing animated film I have ever seen- sure, it falls into some common laugh-inducing tropes (angry bikers, magical and mundane mishaps forcing characters to do things they were shown to struggle with) but in my opinion, they only added to the charm. Seeing characters escape tight situations and end up bettering themselves for it is something that I think is super important for children (and teens) to see- even if they struggle they can do amazing things. This said, the whole film is not a simple cliched flick, the story is engaging (more than many adult-aimed blockbusters I've seen) and while I won't spoil anything, the ending is not what you expect from a children's film- or even most films aimed at adults. It doesn't do what you expect it to all the time, so it keeps feeling new and refreshing. Even if a character doesn't get what they thought they wanted, they learn what they need to. I, for one, am beyond excited to see what Dan Scanlon has in store next, if it's even half as good as Onward is it's gonna be better than most of the movies out there in my eyes. Highly recommended for the whole family, but it does involve aspects of parental death as the wiki will tell you, though more importantly the theme I take away from the film is one of brotherly love- whether you have one or simply wished you had one, if you are hit hard by familial relationships then expect to choke up a little at least!

This was the most perfect Pixar movie ever. Perfect amount of humor and emotions. Had me teary-eyed within the first 5 minutes of the movie. Definitely recommend seeing this no matter your age. It has the most perfect cast with the big Marvel stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt, who work in perfect harmony throughout the movie.

This movie convinced me to cry over a stupid broken-down used van. It is the heartwarming, tear-jerking story of two brothers on a Quest to just talk to their deceased dad. It is my all-time FAVORITE movie ever. Disney managed to make a movie with great suspense without any real villains and it worked.

I loved this movie! Like any Pixar great - I laughed, I cried and I laughed again. What I loved most about the movie was how it managed to take a tragedy, to share all of the complexities of a well lived life - the love, the heartache, the humor and the depth of human relationships that may grow even with in the most heartbreaking circumstances. All of this is done in an animation that speaks to kids and to grown ups alike. Thank you Pixar and Fan Scanlon for providing us the opportunity to see this and understand that love is what this life is all about. All the cast in this movie is awesome.

This movie was adorable, fun, and heart warming. We get a happy ending of course, but not quite in the way you'd expect from Pixar. Which I am all for, the film is logical, instead of just pushing the "we got to a happy ending, doesn't matter how" line. Also there's a short cartoon played right before the movie starts, and I really hope Pixar keeps with that because I loved it. Tom Holland and Chris Pratt do a great job voicing our main characters, and play off each other's strengths. Let's not forget the mom character. She was a badass and cared about her boys. All the characters were thought out well, and the animation was beautiful.
