Pixar’s Next Project ‘Onward’ Releases First Images

With Pixar set to release Toy Story 4 this summer, there are still some major films to look forward to following their high profile sequel. In 2020, Pixar will release a new original film known as Onward. The film has been described as a suburban fantasy about two elf brothers on a magical journey in a world described as an alternate fantasy version of our own. Starring Marvel actors Tom Holland and Chris Pratt, alongside Julia Lousie Dreyfus and Octavia Spencer, the film’s first official images were released today, showcasing its character’s appearances.

The first image sees the two Elf Brothers in a van together, with one looking more shy and nerdy and the other more punk and confident, signifying their upcoming adventure. The second image sees the same nerdy Elf brother with what appears to be his mother, as well as a dragon pet. No character names have been revealed yet but it can be assumed that the nerdy Elf is played by Tom Holland while the other is Chris Pratt, alongside Julia Louise Dreyfus as the mom.

Director Dan Scanlon described the film as very heartfelt and funny, stating in a recent interview that, “I absolutely hope that people are laughing their heads off and crying their eyes out.” With the release of these images, it can be assumed that a first trailer will coincide with Toy Story 4’s theatrical debut next month, showing that Pixar can still create original films even after sequels.

Onward is set for release March 6th 2020.

Ryan Pineda: When it comes to film, animation, video games and other mediums, I can discuss for hours about how much on why certain films and animated media made me the person I am today. I adore the artistic merit that comes from a lot of pop-culture media and will definitely love to have a conversation about favorite movies any day! I have graduated in 2017 with a BA in Film and Television at the University of Arizona. Been passionate about writing about films due to always having an interesting outlook on the medium. Will always see a film and will definitely be sure to recommend it to someone that I know for a fact would love that movie. Not only that but will also give reasons for why I think that film did or did not work as a movie, and the same can go for other pieces of media like television, video games and especially animated projects.
