Their endless collection of ideas for stories, characters, and settings is awe-inspiring. From toys coming to life in a child\u2019s bedroom to monsters living their daily lives in their metropolis, Disney and Pixar know what it takes to entertain on large scale.<\/p>\n<p>Their streak continues in <em>Onward<\/em>, an adorable film with a great theme of family connection. It\u2019s almost like watching <em>Orange County<\/em> (2002) again, but with elves and not so much crude humor. Watching the brothers interact reminds me of growing up with my brother, and the trips we\u2019ve gone on together. You know a film is great when it makes you nostalgic for your memories.<\/p>\n<p>Ian Lightfoot (voiced by Tom Holland) is a socially awkward teenager trying to break out of his shell. I would say he is a typical teenager\u2026despite being an elf. Ian occupies a world where mythical creatures live their lives as we do in modern society, but humans don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n<p>His older brother, Barley (voiced by Chris Pratt), is without direction. He spends his time playing a \u201cDungeons and Dragons\u201d style game, rather than experiencing the real world. Barley obsesses over the idea of magic and wants to seek ways to bring it back into their society.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2462\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2462\" style=\"width: 833px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt7146812\/mediaviewer\/rm3794112769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2462\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/onward\/onward-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Onward-1.jpg?fit=1777%2C744&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1777,744\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Onward 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Disney\/Pixar.

It\u2019s certainly easier to flip a light switch than to light your lamp with a difficult magic spell! This shift in expectations adds to the originality of the story and its characters.<\/p>\n<p>Ian is a loner whose father died before Ian was born. He is envious, yet happy that Barley remembers their father, even if he only has three memories of the man. That may not seem like much, but Barley is proud to have them.<\/p>\n<p>Their mother, Laurel (voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus), presents a gift to Ian for his sixteenth birthday. It is a gem with an ancient wizard staff. This excites Barley in particular since his game has taught him every spell known to man\u2026or elf. The gift also included a special spell \u2013one that can bring back their father for one whole day.<\/p>\n<p>Their spell almost works, except only half of their dad appears \u2013 the bottom half. The gem disintegrates before the upper half can materialize. At least their dad can walk, and they don\u2019t have to carry him around. However, they must guide their dad with a leash so that he doesn\u2019t bump into things. They decorate his \u201cupper half\u201d with a pillow covered with a sweater and a fake head with sunglasses. Their dad could have easily been in <em>Weekend at Bernie\u2019s II<\/em> (1993), but <em>Onward <\/em>is much better.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2463\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2463\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt7146812\/mediaviewer\/rm1241684737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2463\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/onward\/onward-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Onward-2.jpg?fit=862%2C368&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"862,368\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Onward 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Disney\/Pixar.

He, Ian, and their half-dad hop into Barley\u2019s beat-up van and hit the road. The story wouldn\u2019t be interesting if they didn\u2019t hit a few pitfalls along the way, but I won\u2019t spoil them for you.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed myself thoroughly while watching this film. There was a toddler nearby crying throughout half the film, but it didn\u2019t bother me, because I was already hooked. I also loved the humor. There is a scene involving the brothers accidentally provoking a biker gang \u2026of fairies. It takes about twenty of them to operate one bike \u2013 and with four bikes, we\u2019re talking about at least eighty fairies. That sequence was a little over-the-top, but it didn\u2019t lag.<\/p>\n<p><em>Onward<\/em> is a treasure for all ages. It\u2019s great entertainment that will be long remembered for both the story and the casting. Holland and Pratt play off each other like brothers would, which is likely due in part to their time together in the <a href=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/avengers-endgame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>3.5\/4 stars<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directed by: Dan Scanlon Written by: Dan Scanlon, Jason Headley, and Keith Bunin Starring: Tom Holland as Ian Lightfoot Chris Pratt as Barley Lightfoot Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Laurel Lightfoot Octavia <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/onward\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2465,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,109,184,185,186],"class_list":["post-2457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-reviews","tag-chris-pratt","tag-disney","tag-onward","tag-pixar","tag-tom-holland","list-style-post"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Onward (2020) - Ryan&#039;s Movie Corner<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Their streak continues in Onward, an adorable film with a great theme of family connection.
