First reactions to 'Onward': Emotional and sweet, but missing some Pixar magic
The first reactions to Onward are out, and while most agree that Pixar's latest film is good fun, not everyone is enchanted.
Set in a magical world populated by fantasy creatures, Onwardfollows two elf brothers voiced by Marvel co-stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt. After an attempt to resurrect their dead father for a day only summons his legs, the pair go on a quest to bring back his top half before time runs out.
The story has all the makings of the kind of heartstring-tugging fare Pixar has gained a reputation for, alongside some wacky, magical hijinks. Many who attended early screenings found Onwardsweet and entertaining, with emotional moments that hit particularly hard for people who have lost a parent.
However, some found the plot fairly thin, particularly in comparison to the astronomical standards audiences tend to have for Pixar movies. It sounds like a good, enjoyable film, but probably not a standout.
