Onward (film)

Onward is a 2020 American computer-animated urban fantasy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film is directed by Dan Scanlon, produced by Kori Rae and written by Scanlon, Jason Headley, and Keith Bunin, and stars the voices of Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer. Set in a suburban fantasy world, the film follows two elf brothers who set out on a quest to find an artifact that will temporarily bring back their dead father.
Onward premiered at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival on February 21, 2020, and was theatrically released on March 6, 2020. The film received generally positive reviews from critics but grossed $141 million worldwide, making it Pixar’s second box office failure after The Good Dinosaur (2015). The film's financial shortcomings were a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to widespread closure of movie theaters; however, like several other films released in the early months of 2020, it found far greater success on VOD. Onward notably received backlash in several countries in the Middle East for its portrayal of a lesbian character.
