I saw it today, I thought it was really good. I enjoyed it a lot more than Toy Story 4. Shame that it came out just before the coronavirus got huge, no doubt that the suits are gonna blame its failure on being a new IP and then make more sequels.
What did you all think of it, if you even saw it at all? Do you think they should release it again in the summer or fall?

Haven't seen it but I thought it looked like interesting and I don't know why Yas Forums was so down on the trailers.
The only negativity I can think of are people upset about the celebrity voice casting and the marketing of the "first ever" gay character
If you do want to see it I would go soon if your area hasn't had any cases of COVID-19 yet, I was lucky that mine hasnt so I went today with my gf and siblings
Bored me to death
It felt like the average 90s Saturday morning cartoon, it lacked emotion and passion
Care to explain? I personally thought there was a good sense of tension and there weren't any parts that really dragged on too long. Maybe the beginning though?
I loved it, but that might be more because I'm a fat dude, an older brother to a socially awkward dork and a D&D nerd, so it resonated a lot with me.
The last thing that hit me that personally was the first Wreck-It-Ralph
Yeah, I think I loved Onward a lot because of how I saw my brother and I in the main characters.
It was definitely a lot better than I expected. It felt a little generic, but I liked the characters and had fun watching it. The brothers dynamic was great, but I wish they expanded a bit more on the mom and the manticore, their adventure seemed just as cool. also bc I wanted to see more of that thicc mom
My area just recently had its first case that wasn't in a military base, I hope our theatres are still open when the new Trolls comes out.
>new Trolls
you mean infinity war 2: now with fart jokes?
Just saw a few hours ago: SPOILERS INC
Honestly, I've never seen a movie where the beginning was so shit and the ending was so incredible. Usually it's the other way around.
The beginning was generic schlock, completely predictable and I was shocked that Pixar could stoop so low, just trope after trope. But that ending, that sacrifice, holy shit. I literally cried, it was absolutely the best way to do it (not to show the father at all, because he wouldn't meet our expectations).
for future reference, you can make spoilers by typing [spoiler*][/spoiler*] without the * to make spoiler bars
like this
It was pretty bland. Not horrible though. Probably Spies in Disguise-tier
I kept getting hints of the story leading into something really awesome, only to pull back and get a mediocre result instead. Like following a certain path, but then end up back in something very ordinary. Or huge guardian, but then give it a little cherub baby face.
I also thought it was off how the story setups magic as something extremely difficult to learn, but then the younger brother manages to learn 4 spells with proficiency in less than a night. And how did the father get a phoenix stone... what about the "curse", did he have to fight a curse to get it?
it also felt kind of weird how it seems like they're saying an older brother is a good replacement for a father.
and it felt muddled or distracting with all these attempts at pointed examples of being sensitive to current social values. like too many substories of side characters when they should stay focused on the idea of two brothers trying to get their father back.
Thank you, I'm not a newfag but I am inconsiderate and lazy. The film has two godly gags which stood out to me:
PUT IT IN O, FOR ONWARDS
When the van/horse starts to drive into the cliff, the tire breaks, and it begins to gallop, and the fucking parking tickets create wings, brilliant fucking visual gag
Also, that Simpsons animation before the film was the most soulless, degenerate, contrived trash I have ever seen, literally. 0/10
Yeah the Maggie short was really bad, they should've just aired the first one with the daycare. That was at least well-made.
This one was just full of "dads bad" jokes and cheap gags.
the van looking like a horse during it's send-off was great, i agree. i didn't realize the tickets were supposed to be wings though, thats clever
>it also felt kind of weird how it seems like they're saying an older brother is a good replacement for a father.
a father figure can be any older male, older brothers included.
>and it felt muddled or distracting with all these attempts at pointed examples of being sensitive to current social values. like too many substories of side characters when they should stay focused on the idea of two brothers trying to get their father back.
are you referring to the one scene with the gay cop?
>Spies in Disguise tier
that's how I know you haven't actually seen it
>no doubt that the suits are gonna blame its failure on being a new IP and then make more sequels.
One user Pixar employee said next year's film is a a 50s italian bromance. Another user Pixar employee said one of its 6 upcoming features is about a boy who thinks he has superpowers, but doesn’t, like Don Quixote for kids.

>a 50s italian bromance
oh god please, please be true. and please don't be about mobsters or whatever. disney hasn't had a movie in italy since pinocchio, and 99% of the italian characters in disney movies are stereotypes (joe and tony from lady and the tramp for example, as much as i love that movie)
>boy who thinks he has superpowers, but doesn't
bolt?
Shoulda been Jack Black, not Andy from Parks and Rec.
I really liked it too. Kinda wished the my focused more on the setting and lore instead of the sappy dad factor but w/e.
I thought both Chris Pratt and Tom Holland did a really good job. Especially Pratt. I think he should keep sticking to comedic roles instead of trying to do turbo Chad roles.
I really wanted to watch it, but I couldn't because cinemas shut down in my country... It would be nice if it got rereleased.
Oh yeah, Pratt did a great job. He didn't do just his normal voice, he actually... acted.
If Onward came out a decade ago, Barely would've been played by Jack Black 100%
I really hope so too, but since Disney owns like 60% of movies coming out, they wouldn't be able to release it without cannibalizing something else. I really want them to give it another chance at least, it deserves it.
>Oh yeah, Pratt did a great job. He didn't do just his normal voice, he actually... acted.
You sure? It didn’t seem any better than previous performances. Passengers felt like the only time Chris wasn’t playing a mental stunted adult.
The further details on the second link remind me of the imagination scenes in Boss Baby
>The idea was lame. But the concept of the presentation, of having the world transform to fit Bix's "reality" was the best part of it.
Wait... Matt?
That ending. The pain. we were in that hole with him killing ourselves for making that choice even if it was a good one.
Wait there was a gay character?
OP IS A CORPORATE SHILL
STOP REPLYING TO THE THREAD
I'm surprised they haven't made "online theaters" yet
Who’s the twist villain this time?
No twist villain
So it's like inside out in that it doesn't really have a villain then?
it was seriously so underrated
>suits are gonna blame its failure on being a new IP and then make more sequels
Then why would they make sequels if it failed?
>The only negativity I can think of are people upset about the celebrity voice casting and the marketing of the "first ever" gay character
I just thought that it looked mad boring going from the trailers.
No, it has a villain. There's even a final showdown fight scene and everything. I'm not talking about "The other adults unknowingly stopping something fantastic are 'villains'." either, full on RPG style big bad.
It was alright but not something I would watch again. Cool action scenes though. Feel the same with Onward, the action scenes in the end was really good but I just find the rest okay
Maybe he was channeling his earlier older brother work. He did play one for years.
I was unironically planning to go see it but then the outbreak happened
>Wanna watch it
>coronachan is ruining everything
Is onward worth possibly getting sick over?
no. it is in no way a necessary movie to watch.
but if you do watch it twice. some scenes change mood with prior knowledge.
This is going to be the lowest grossing Pixar film
Yas Forums is honestly dead
I loved it because I drive a beat up van that I work on myself. Van niggas got to stick together
I literally do not understand why critics went mad over crap like Toy Story 4 and Finding Dory, giving them over 90% when this was a thousand times more creative, clever and funny and it's sitting in the 70s-80s.
The beginning was weak but it just got better and better, the jokes started to land, the characters started to click, the action got more exciting and by the end when it had turned into modern-day Lord of the Rings I was fucking riveted.
It's one of those movies where the buildup is slow but then everything has a payoff. Everything we're shown at the beginning which seems pointless comes back in some way. The dragon face on the school being the face of the curse. The parking tickets being wings for the van sacrifice (fucking GENIUS sight gag by the way). The fountain being the place where the gem was. The bumper and headlight falling off the van both being utilised later.
And of course, the splinter, which just seems like a stupid gag, being the thing that saves the goddamn day. I was just in awe when they brought that back. Like DAMN. That shit is top tier Pixar.
Everything from the car chase to the invisible bridge to the Cheeto boat, and then finally that badass last battle where he uses all the spells he's learnt is just 10/10. And that fucking ending, absolute kino.
This probably reads like the most Reddit post ever but I can't remember the last time a Pixar film actually impressed me in such a way.
Just enrages me that we're probably never going to see these characters again.
It was pretty boring honestly. I regret actually spending money on it instead of just watching a camrip.
>gonna blame its failure on being a new IP and then make more sequels
Only the absolute Jewiest of Jews would attempt to claim its underperformance is due to anything other than the fucking worldwide pandemic crisis.
NPCs like you are why we're getting Toy Story 5 and Frozen 3
Who do you think runs the entertainment industry?
>I saw it today, I thought it was really good.
you did neither, pajeet
I liked it. The goblin pawnbroker was probably one of my favorite characters.
Not him, but you have to learn to handle people not liking things you like in a more mature way, man. I get that we're a bunch of adults on a cartoon discussion board, so that might be hard to conceive, but come on now.
This was honestly the most OK movie I've seen so far this year. Last 10 minutes were great and I wish it'd rode on that passion for the entire thing. Maggie short was garbage and had that gross Simpsons Movie style that makes me feel physically ill.
So they establish that the younger brother wasn’t on his cell phone texting or calling his mom the whole time because he broke it, I get that. But why the heck did the older brother apparently not even own a phone? Even luddites nowadays often have a shitty flip phone for emergencies and shit.
it was kinda by the numbers
they did basically nothing with the dad legs after the introduction.in fact it was kind of weird that he was there but couldn't comprehend anything.
the mom was great though. best character by far
yikes
I'm not gonna see a movie that looks like that.
>no doubt that the suits are gonna blame its failure on being a new IP and then make more sequels.
No, they're definitely going to go with the virus.
Some sites were already pointing their finger at it to blame for Birds of Prey bombing.
Yeah, as is tradition, the marketed gay character only indicates they're gay in a single line of dialogue that is different in foreign markets.
