Onward

Such a great movie, so glad it is officially a part of our collection.

Onward is definitely a MUST SEE to take your kids to! It has some great underlining life lessons and morals to teach children. Trusting in yourself and having courage to cross an invisible bridge, trusting others to guide you, that sometimes when you are on a quest to find something of value that was lost... you’ll often find it in your own backyard as the journey went full circle and brought you right back home where you started. It teaches the value of sibling relationships. It teaches putting someone’s needs before your own wants. And it teaches us that even though we have lost someone to heaven, that they are still with us in so many other ways. 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. Take your kids, but be prepared for some tears, emotions and conversation if they have lost a parent to death or divorce. I lost my dad almost 10 years ago, and yet I had tears, wishing I could see him and hug him one last time. THIS IS A WONDERFUL MOVIE!!!

This is worth the watch. I was feeling really down and depressed one night but this movie is fantastic, whimsical, mysterious, adventurous, and the action gets really good at the end. It is also a tear-jerker! Very relatable. The conflicts between the characters are so real it makes me uncomfortable in the best way. The "duo breaks up over a misunderstanding" trope is there, as are many other tropes, but it's done SO WELL that its believable. Some of the antics in the middle of the story were a bit ridiculous and felt filler-ish, but I suppose that's for the kids watching who need humor going on. There was no clear villain in the story, rather there were obstacles and some of them were a bit boring (looking at you, biker pixies) but there were so many moments where characters legitimately were in harms way and I was on the edge of my seat, even during sillier scenes like these. My heart jumped a lot at this movie because there was SO MUCH at stake. I won't commentate on what the whole story is about, because I think its worth it to find out. I was just nitpicking some details. TL;DR: The best part about this movie is that it gets better as you watch it, instead of the reverse. It has beautiful touches of mythical-ness and if you're a fan of medieval board games, this movie is a treat.

I always look forward to Pixar films, mostly to see how visually stunning a movie created entirely in a computer can look with each passing year of technological and programming advancements. The other reason I will always go to see a Pixar movie is their dedication to a good story. Sure, there have been some missed steps over the years (The Good Dinosaur (2015) being the latest example), but their track record has been good enough to warrant me seeing their films in the theater. While I was looking forward to this year’s offering of Onward (2020), the result felt a little lackluster overall. Choosing to explore a storyline with a deceased parent was odd in that it felt like something that had rarely been addressed in movies geared toward children while also having a strong “after school special” vibe to it. Either way, putting it in a pseudo-Monsters, Inc. (2001) fantasy world was a fun way to deliver this tale of two brothers on a road trip to find a way to bring their father back for a single day. I laughed out loud at the freeze-frame jokes that I picked up on (my favorite being the “Mountain Doom” soda can), and I’m sure I’ll have to pause it a bunch of times if I pick it up to own at some point. While the “coming of age” story felt a little weak overall—having been done a ton elsewhere—the emotional impact of the last 10-15 minutes had me ugly crying in the way that Pixar films always do. I liked the climax of this film, but there were times where I thought the focus of the action completely forgot about the father’s legs (which themselves were the source of plenty of superb visual gags). Is this Pixar’s best film? Probably not. Is it better than the other CGI animation out there? Most definitely. A somewhat standard coming of age story with Pixar’s usual charm, I give Onward 3.5 stars out of 5.

The story line was well presented, and it wasn't even predictable, which is hard to find nowadays. The family relationships and learning who you really are really struck home. My only gripe would be that the ending concerning the father could have easily happened another way, though I understand why the makers of the film didn't take that route... ((((((((( If you haven't watched it, don't read this part in the parentheses! Skip to the end of the parentheses. Because the spell was cast again using a second gem, technically the time limit should have been restarted! I was disappointed that it wasn't, but I'm also glad that we got the heart-to-heart moment that Barley needed. ))))))))) And for those complaining about the subtle LGBT scene, that doesn't necessarily mean the one character was in a relationship like that. Plenty of women call their female friends "girlfriends." My parents, uncles, etc, have called my best friend my girlfriend a lot, but we're not in a romantic relationship. And even if that was meant to be a reference to LGBT, then it's not hurting anyone to include a very stigmatized part of the global population. If you don't want your children to get any idea, let them know you think that's not right, in a kind way. Don't scare them away from asking questions, and don't teach them hate either. This world has enough negativity. Anyway, you will probably enjoy this movie if you like any of these things: - Dungeons & Dragons and games related to it - familial love and "what would you do to protect them?" stories - action. There's quite a bit of action. - family movies - high-speed car chases - anything "outside the box" - "coming of age" stories - realization of what you really have - stories that might make you sob. I don't cry too easily, but I admit I shed a few tears. I'm probably missing some things, but this movie has a lot. 10/10; I would definitely recommend.

*Squeels* Onward was great! Love love loved it! 😍And to all the other nerds and geeks out there 🤓 , you're gonna love it more than most. It has plays on dungeons and dragons as well as just basic gamer and fantasy loving shtuff. I also love the modern take, to uncourage kids to still believe in magic even though it's not the 👑 renaissance era. My daughter right after grabbed a broom stick and started pretending she was a wizard with a staff 🧙‍♀️ my baby girl I'm so proud 🤗 . My son also enjoyed it (mostly just the comical parts like the shrinking bit you see in the commercials) 🃏 and he is VERY hard to please when it comes to movies. I personally love the touch of warrior mom power 🦸. I am sooo going to use the quote "I Am A Mighty Warrior" over and over again. Speaking of which, since I bought this movie here, I expect we will be watching this MOVIE over and over again. All in all, I love 🥰 the family 👩‍👧‍👦 values this movie displays as well as the personal encouragement for you to believe in yourself. I saw some people giving pretty bad reviews 🦹 on this movie but I guess they just don't see what I see 🕶️ . As a mom and especially a gamer mom, I highly recommend this movie. It was definitely worth it to buy. Plus, you get to own it for cheaper than a visit to the movie theater 😁

Excellent movie. Would recommend.

One of my favorite movies. I saw it for the last showing before the pandemic closed everything so it's a little sentimental. It's fun and clever. It elicits some emotions that few movies achieve.

Me gusta mucho ver esta película. Desde la primera vez que la vi me pareceió muy buena. Se me hace infravalorada. Muy recomendable, especialmente si tienes hijos, véanla juntos. Llegó impecable. Lo único que no entiendo es por qué no traía slipcover? En fin... La acabo de ver en un Panasonic 420. Simplemente WOW!

il film è veramente veramente bello ......molto commovente uno di quei film che negli anni puoi rivedere e rivedere senza stancarti e sempre con la lacrimuccia alla fine ! è anche un ottima edizione a 2 dischi cosa rara ultimamente e anche serigrafati cosa ancora più rara con le politiche di risparmio degli ultimi anni di casa disney ! in un disco c'è film + contenuti speciali nel secondo disco tutti bonus . il video è un 1080p hight definition e l'audio ita un dolby digital plus ......ho messo cmq la foto del retro con tutte le caratteristiche delle varie lingue e dei bonus ........godetevi questo gioiellino e speriamo che la disney si concentri più su progetti nuovi come questo che non su i 2000 live action che sta facendo alcuni totalmente senza senso !

L'ho acquistato solamente perché in sconto, ed invece si è rivelato un film di animazione bello, ben fatto, con bei dialoghi, con un senso profondo, divertente e piacevole. Non posso elogiarlo oltre. E' la storia di due fratelli molto diversi tra loro ma con un obiettivo finale (molto importante) che li aiuterà a rivalutarsi ed a rivalutare le loro peculiarità. Adatto anche a bambini dai 5 anni in su.

La película llegó en buen estado y cumple con todas las especificaciones. La historia es muy buena.

Pour moi, c’est le meilleur film d’animation des 5 dernières années et sans trop de cahier de charge de Disney , qui s’acharne à détruire toutes leurs créations depuis au moins cette période . Une histoire touchante et amusante. Je le recommande très fortement.
