Onward is set to arrive in theatres on March 6th — just three days from now! Directed by Dan Scanlon (
Monsters University), it's the newest animated film from Disney Pixar. Tom Holland (
Spider-Man: Far From Home) stars alongside and Chris Pratt (
Avengers: Endgame). The duo play a pair of elvish brothers who embark on a magical quest to resurrect their late father.
The voice cast also includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, and Ali Wong. Last month, some influencers and journalists were invited to an early screening of
Onward. Thereafter, they shared their reactions and early impressions —
check those out here. Suffice it to say, it seems that Disney Pixar has another hit on their hands.
This is further backed up by
Onward's status on Rotten Tomatoes. The animated film recently debuted on the review-aggregate site (which calculates a percentage based on how many reviews by professional critics are positive versus how many are negative).
Onward debuted with an 83% rating on the Tomatometer. Since then, the rating has only risen — now sitting at 85%.
Thus far, 97 reviews have been taken into account — 82 of them are fresh while only 15 are rotten.
Onward is
"Certified Fresh". Check out Rotten Tomatoes' announcement tweet below (via
@RottenTomatoes):
Set in a suburban fantasy world, two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, go on a journey to discover if there is still a little magic left out there in order to spend one last day with their father, who died when they were too young to remember him.
Onward will arrive in theaters on March 6th, 2020.
