What really turned me off from seeing the film was its art direction. We have a world where elves, centaurs, and manticores live together in an urban setting. What does the film look like? Exactly like every other Pixar film released in the last five years. It simply seems like they're stagnating creatively. Not just in writing, but also in design. A while back there was this discussion about the main character's design and how it looked like a visual shorthand that resembled other characters like Linguini or Arthur Christmas. Perhaps this is because On some level we know that Pixar is just going through the motions with their film making. Which is sad because they used to show massive steps forward with each new film. Now that the tech has spread to other studios we're seeing other films push forward in its stead. Though maybe Soul will be the next leap for Pixar. We shall see.

If he was just the sheriff and stick with his role he could've been an ok character, like for instance the time he was chasing Ian and Barley it would've been great if he actually run like a Centaur in which that can make him learn that if he wants to bond with his step-sons he must learn how to change himself in order to have a bond and maybe help them throughout their journey. But at the end he changed and suddenly have a positive relations with Ian and Barley because "Good ending".

My brother said something along these lines after we left the advance screening. Alot of people these days grow up with only one parent. They spend slot of time thinking they had to grow up without role models because they dont have a dad (or mom). They grow up not knowing what to do with themselves because they think they never had a role model. However, alot of people dont realize that other people can be role models as well, not just parents. So basically, I think the film is about role models, not necessarily family or father son relationships. The manticore forgot to tell them about the curse because she never actually gave them instructions. She didnt even give them the map, or any clues on where to find the Phoenix gem, they did that on there own. So why would she have "remembered" to tell them about the curse if she didnt even tell them the other stuff? And barley didnt know about the curse because clearly he didnt know about this particular quest. If he knew there was a curse, shouldn't he also know *how* to find a Phoenix gem, and not have to go to the manticore tavern? Also the brothers dont blame *eachother* for ending up back in their town, *ian* blames barley. Barley never blamed ian. Also "barley finds a fountain being deconstructed by the bad modern world" is sort of a misleading sentence to anyone who hasn't seen the film. Magic vs modern is never an issue in the movie, nor does anyone besides barley take the fountain being destroyed seriously. Had I not seen this film twice already, I would've assumed this movie had a "innovation bad" message just from that sentence. I definitely agree that ian is a boring overdone character type. However, I can't think of many characters similar to barley. The bridge scene definitely did feel tropey, although I cant think of any immediate examples? However a small detail I liked about that scene was the way barley reacted. In most scenarios, barley would said pretty much the same thing, but probably have a nervous smile the whole time. However in the actual movie he looks extremely stressed out about the fact that the rope came off, and that was a small detail that I honestly thought was kinda nice, because they didnt try to turn something that would be terrifying irl into a "haha the rope is gone" joke. The step dad and fairies were little more then small roadblocks. Honestly probably coulda been written out. Though I do appreciate a positive step-parent character for once. Okay sorry, ramble over. I do feel like this film is getting less credit then it deserves by alot of my favorite reviewers, heh. Good video though! Insightful. Made me think about a few things I hadn't considered yet!

I actually loved this movie. I think you missed the huge theme of self-trust/confidence, it was really prevalent and worked really well. Also, the father not having a personality was to reflect that Ian never knew him, and just having his legs doesn’t help much. They intended for us to feel left out, because that’s how Ian felt, even at the end where we don’t actually get to see the dad. I thought it was pretty cool that we got to see them awakening the forgotten magic across their journey, even without specifically mentioning what was happening, it would have been pretty dumb if they said “woah magic is making a comeback because of us” which I half expected to be said. Another thing I really enjoyed was they actually mixed two tropes with Barley, he has dumb jock vibes, but he’s a super gamer/d&d nerd. I think this was a really solid pixar film, on par with walle and finding dory

Hi ;w;

I think the main issue with people is that they can't look past "cliches". While I always notice cliches and this film definitely has some, I always look for what's unique and fun about the film. And this film was definitely rich with it. I personally really enjoyed it. And the ending had me extremely choked up. And while I know the whole "Pixar films makes you cry" thing, I actually have rarely actually cried during one.

I'd say the theme of the film is learning to appreciate what's around and who is around you rather than needing to have a connection with your "real" family. For example, if your parents aren't there for you emotionally, best friends can be like family. And in this case, his older brother was a father figure and taught him a lot about what it means to be a good man/person. It's very personal to the creator of the story as he too lost his father before he had the chance to form memories of him, and also had his brother to lead him.

This movie felt like a DnD run turned into a movie, but at least it's something that wasn't romantic. I appreciate the brotherly love type of ending, and the story behind this movie was nice. It was about moving from a death in the family, but it could've been executed a bit better

It's a movie about two brothers learning that they only have each other, and although they are trying to bring their father back, they realize that they only need each other, and they must learn that they work together very well with each other. At the climax of the film, Ian tells Barley that he never had a dad, but always had him. They must learn that their bond was what got them through all the challenges, Barely being an expert on magic and guiding Ian to become a better wizard but also become a better person. The theme isn't about growing up or seeing a lost loved one; it's brotherhood.

It's so bizarre. Everyone keeps saying the film is very good - but not as good as Pixar's old works.

You have a movie about an older sister being scared to interact with his younger sister because she doesn't want to accidentally harm her because of her power so she isolates herself as much as possible, while the other is a boy who never had a father-figure in his life and caused him to struggle to develop socially and maturely in which he wants to resurect his dad in order to understand how to grow up, but at the end he realized that he already expirienced having a male-role-model/father-figure with his older brother. That hits home more than Frozen because more of a relevant issue in society about boys lacking a male-role model in the family which affects them growing up and struggle in adulthood. I think that is largely overshadowed than the plot in general.

It doesn’t help that everyone is scared to leave their homes to go to the movies because of the current events.

They've lost their minds while announcing Toy Story 4. NOBODY asked for that cash-grab when the franchise should've ended back in 2010; It's unnecessary. Why did you let it win the Oscar?! The Hidden World _deserved_ to win it, but Pixar fucked DreamWorks' last chance!

Okay, think of it like this If Toy story 4 was a cash grab, why did it end off the series in a satisfying way? Would that make shrek 4 a cash grab? The story and concept of living toys had more room to expand in themes and ideas, and the 4th movie followed up as well, with good character arcs, concepts, development, and ultimately ending the franchise off with a satisfying conclusion Ice age 2, 3, 4, and 5 are cash grabs. Toy story 4 is a fitting conclusion

Are you saying that NON-Disney movie sequels are all cash-grabs? Toy Story 4 came out of nowhere in a massive year gap and was only created to make everyone forget about DreamWorks. Shrek 4 was the true finale to the end. The Ice Age franchise made a record not even that greedy *Fascist* could top, 5 feature films with no spin-offs. Don't try to respond, because I'm renouncing Disney/Pixar until I die.

The only thing I agreed with in this whole video was that the Simpsons short shouldn’t be there.

I loved the movie honestly. I think maybe for me, i kinda felt more impacted WITH the leg scenes, and moments because its like i had that feeling in the back of my mind that they weren't going to get a long period of time with the fathers full body. So to me, it seemed more like 'oh this is kinda sad, that this is all they'll get with their dad, and he's trying his best to spend time with them too'

One, they had an original IP two years ago called Coco. Two, I think this isn't a failure in my book-I think this is a step in the right direction. Like....Training wheels. This film is comparable to The Little Mermaid-that film started the Disney Renaissance, and this film kind of feels like the precursor to Pixar's classic era.

DaBaby Yoda exactly. I was hyped for brave but then it just fell apart when they made it a mother and daughter story. Insert every cliche here. Good dinosaur is an illumination film but made by Pixar. That’s what I mean everyone caught up to them. 3D isn’t mystical anymore.

I did enjoy the movie but I feel like they kind of squandered the world a bit, it just wasn't that interesting. The whole idea of modernisation taking the magic out of the world was maybe taken a bit too far, as the setting just felt boring and small. There wasn't the same sense of wonder and beauty with the setting that there was in finding nemo, coco, walle and even the incredibles, with that island. I feel like there was almost no point in the magical fantasy settings.

I don't know, personally, I got really emotional at the end of this movie, and I usually don't consider myself someone who cries at movies. And I like, sobbed. Then again, I think this is one of those movies that definitely hits different depending on the person. Like the more you can relate it to your own life, the more emotional it is, if that makes sense.

Honestly, Onward just felt like a forced vehicle made by corporate businessmen as an excuse to partner up Chris Pratt (who I loved in Passengers and Parks and Recreation) and Tom Holland (Who's Spider-Man I hate) together, made with little to no effort. Pixar has just ended up like Grunge in terms of quality. It's stories used to be rather complex and introspective, mixing wonder with substance (Wall: E for example), and is often at times felt like an escape from the overall saccharine schmaltz of Disney's main animation division (Yes, I get that Lion King and Hunchback exist, so they are exceptions), but now they have become the very thing they unintentionally provided escapism from. At least we have Ghibli

It's no Toy Story 2 or The Incredibles, but I still think Onward can compete with some of their other movies that aren't held to as high of a regard, but are still considered great. Such films as Up and Ratatouille immediately come to my mind when I say that.

When you compare this to literally any other Pixar movie, yes this is definitely grounds to say Pixar is losing its touch. Not saying it’s bad but it doesn’t live up to the other ones

Stock animated movie ideas: Protagonist: Thinks it isn’t special, but realises near the end of the film that it is special Also Protagonist: finds a map to a treasure Side character: finds a hidden clue to the treasure You got to do better than that, Disney. Just because you think no one will notice doesn’t mean that it’s a good film.

Is Pixar Losing Their Touch...? Well, that's their aim so when we all get old and watch their best films all over again, we cry even more than when we first watched them,

I have no idea what happened, but Pixar movies don't interest me as much as they did way back when. It's not because the movies are bad, that's a rarity in of itself, but they just don't grab me anymore. Maybe I've just grown too old, maybe I've seen too many Pixar movies, maybe the movies really aren't as good as some of their older stuff. I'll have to think about it a lot more.

The "villain" was also shoehorned in all of a sudden. Although he was mentioned, he didn't really do anything except appear in the 3rd act to make things exciting.

I remember finishing this film and thinking “was that...a Pixar movie?” cause for some reason it didn’t feel like it all. It felt like a knock off made by a different company but with Pixar level animation, just because the story and characters felt a bit flat. It’s wasn’t bad! But wasn’t great.

I got 3 onward’s ads on this while listening to how onward wasn’t great.

One of my biggest problems with this movie was, not only all the generic story tropes, just the whole useless journey because the thing they were traveling for ended up being where they started. I hate it

SPOILERS: As a pixar fan for as long as I can remember, no really, I grew up on two movies, monsters inc and the incredibles, both of which I watched over and over again. I've had to see each 100+ times I did see Onward, and I'd disagree. I think it was great, it felt like a Pixar movie, it felt original as well. It was emotional, yes I cried. Both characters were a bit tropey, sure. I feel like that made them realistic though, it kept things real and considering this was supposed to connect with human emotion it works. I felt a lot of depth and emotion. The family is a major theme but it's also a theme of brotherhood, bravery, trust, adventure, and growth. okay when it comes to tech demonizing, it's perfectly fine and that wasn't a thing lol. It was more about appreciating talents the bad stepdad wasn't bad lol, he was just annoying and the boys didn't like him as a replacement also with the dad's character, he was limited by the fact pixar went forwards with how he didn't have ears or eyes, so his only form of communication was physical touch. if you paid attention the tapping thing was a way to communicate, and other things another sappy part was the emotional connections with the fourth memory, his brother was a coward and didn't say goodbye to his dad because he was scared and regret it for the rest of his life. That's why he was trying to be brave throughout this quest but if you paid attention he wasn't as brave as his brother, who has this "cowardly shy" trope if anything, this feels like another controversial clickbaity video trying to get views. I kept watching to hear an actual valid point but all you said was it was unoriginal, with no evidence that a similar thing happened, oh the characters follow simple tropes, but you never looked deeper in to the characters, oh well the plot's simple, yeah that's kind of the point it's based off of a dnd style quest thing. I feel like this is greater than toy story 4 and coco, it just generally feels on par with my childhood classics. Those are my thoughts, you refuse to watch it again, that's fair. Don't let it stop you from actually noticing the layers under the tropes.

I feel like this movie seems worse because it was made by Pixar. If it were made by Dreamworks or Sony I think everyone would love this a whole lot more! I don’t think Pixar is losing their touch, but rather Pixar’s reputation has grown way to big, making it harder to make “great” Pixar films. But I don’t know, it might just be me.

Onward was fabulous, and had a great thematic conclusion to ideas set up via consistent narrative elements... it was great...

Everybody gangster till the pants start walking

I’m glad that this was different than frozen 2 toy story and dumbo live actions where two people or groups don’t get to see each other again

alright there a lot I'm gonna say about this review. The main theme of the movie is about confidence. Ian is a socially awkward and very anxious guy by the start and I identified a lot with him tbh. (that's why I went ahead and wrote this comment). Through the movie we see how their father was always a confident guy, not afraid to be himself and do what he likes ugly socks and all. We see how the creatures of the land have stopped being themselves for comfort reasons, a horse that can't run and pixies that can't fly. The main antagonist of the movie is actually internal. once Ian forfeited his fears and anxieties he finally grew to become more like his father. I watched this movie twice once alone and then I made my father watch it with me and it made us both cry. honestly I identified a lot with the themes of this movie. sometimes you're afraid to take a step forward and be who you are. there's a review that conveys the meaning behind this movie far better than any improvised comment I can write. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2WTwcqPncybo8o.html

I honestly think its for a certain audience who relate like me for example my dad died before I was born and my best friend who's dad died just a week after he was born also I've had some friends who's parents got divorced early on so for people like me or anyone I mentioned really will get a good feel of what the characters are feeling and sure for most of the Audience can't relate because they never felt the emotional impact. Pixar isn't losing their touch their just making it stronger for certain groups at the sacrifice of their other audience members but it also makes it more memorable for people like me and if you think about the message like that you will probably enjoy this more.

I got an Onward ad right before this.

I actually enjoyed this movie. I went in with no expectations at all. I mean AT ALL; I didn't even see the trailer. I think it's a solid film and there's nothing in it that truly stands out as "bad." Sure it's trope-y, but I think they're done decently. I enjoyed the ending personally; I didn't cry, but to be honest I rarely cry at films (although Toy Story 2 and 3 get me). All I know is that I was entertained when watching Onward and I'd watch it again. I'd give it maybe an 8/10?

i have watched onward 8 times and haven't got tired of it so I think its a masterpiece and im glad that pixar is doing originals again I think its the perfect pixar movie

I think apart of the charm with Pixar is the concepts of the films they make, they’re all unique. This is why they’re so successful, look at Up Wall-E Toy Story etc, they all have very unique concepts within them. Modern day Pixar films like onwards have concepts that don’t WOW us anymore, although I’d argue Soul was an exception because we haven’t seen that before in animation.
