Onward (2020)

Pixar makes good movies.

Their ideas are usually unique, and they know how to deliver

They also, in Disney tradition, know how to deliver a family oriented movie, again, this movie deliver.

They are porpular movies and can attract big names to their production.

The "it" guys Tom Hollands and Chris Pratt are in this, playing brothers.

The movie has a comtemplorary feels with magic mixed in.

Because the MacGuffin in this movie is.... "so out there" I am not sure if the really young audience will "get" it.

I enjoyed this.

Not sure I will remember it in glorious details 6 months down the line, and have to emphasize, while I was watching it, I enjoy it.

Me too. Unfortunately this movie was released at a time when the US was still in 'OK' condition but not anymore. Heard the movie ticket sales plunged 73% a week later and is set to be one of PIXAR lowest grossing film.

It is NOT the best Pixar offering, or the worst (Dinosaur)

It is entertaining and has places that is very touching.

And that's the issue, it is not impactful enough, to make you still think about it 6 months down the line...

Too bad. It's a good movie. I hope sales from other platforms make up for it
