Featured reviews
This movie will give you laughs as well as leave you in sobs. Fun, action-packed and emotional, it's a great watch.
Elven brothers Ian and Barley lost their father when they were too young to remember him. But on Ian's 16th birthday, they receive a special gift - something that can help revive their father for one day. But as expected, they mess up the spell and their father is left only with legs.
I do not know why this film is so underrated, considering it's full of that Pixar magic. Fantasy world? Ok, that's pretty common. Suburban fantasy world? You don't see that every day. It's a burst of imagination, really.
Unlike most films that shy away from deep themes and stay on the 'clear path', Onward shows how hard it is to lose someone. If you haven't seen it, watch today!

It's a fantastic movie! It might fall into cliches but that's what the movie is all about. It brings the sense of epic to the viewer and engage with their feelings. It's well balanced, as the movie emphasizes in the adventure aspect of it but without forgetting comic times as well as really touchy moments were you'll for sure be moved. It's a great movies that will introduce you to some aspects of role playing in a way you probably haven't thought before. Great for both kids and adults.
I hated this movie because it hit me so hard. Lost my dad a while back and never dealt with all the things from that but this movie kinda drop kicked my feelings into the focus. Hard to watch a film with tears streaming down your face
I didn't like the look of this, the animation, the content or the story.
I am glad I decided to watch it.
The film is set in a world where magic is replaced by technology because it is easier. Two young men get the opportunity to use magic to spend a single day with their deceased father. It doesn't go according to plan so they go on an adventure.
The story is simple but lean, the jokes are obvious but funny, the characters are stock but fleshed out.
This movie is really enjoyable and tugs at the heart strings.
There is nothing ground-breaking about this movie but it has a very big heart and is very well executed.

This movie is pretty fast paced. The characters are always trying to get out of some kind of mess they created, so in other words you're never bored. I recommend you watch this film with your siblings. I'm a grown man and this film had me tearing up lol. Another great film by Pixar.
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the most iconic monsters in Dungeons & Dragons is the gelatinous cube. Imagined by creator E. Gary Gygax himself in the very first edition of Dungeons & Dragons in 1974, the gelatinous cube is a staple foe that players encounter early on in their adventuring. (It has an entry-level challenge rating of "2" in the current version of D&D. That's low.) The cube moves slowly but can be very dangerous once it gets close, as it absorbs victims and slowly digests them while they float helplessly inside.
- GoofsWhen The Manticore is telling Laurel about the curse, she tears off her sleeves to reveal expository tattoos on her arms. However, when Laurel initially asks about the curse, The Manticore's left sleeve is already seen to be torn off as the tattoo is already visible.
- Crazy creditsA nod to a role-playing classic in the closing credits: "Special thanks to the D&D team at Wizards of the Coast for use of The Beholder and The Gelatinous Cube"
- Alternate versionsThe movie is also presented in a 3D version, the IMAX-Enhanced version and the 4DX-Enhanced version.
