Disney Pixar's latest animated film arrives in theaters on March 6th. Onward is directed by Dan Scanlon (
Monsters University) and stars Tom Holland (
Spider-Man: Far From Home) and Chris Pratt (
Avengers: Endgame) as 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.
Earlier this week, Onward debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with an 83% score but that has since risen to 85% —
as you can see here.
Pixar movies will often be shown in theatres alongside an animated short. For instance,
Bao played ahead of
Incredibles 2 back when that was in theatres in 2018. Well,
Onward will similarly be joined in theatres by an animated short. However, this one isn't made by the creators and animators at Pixar. Instead, this one hails from
The Simpsons.
"Playdate with Destiny" focuses on the youngest member of the iconic animated family — Maggie. This was revealed by a promotional shot that was shared by the official Instagram account for
The Simpsons — which you can check out below (via
@TheSimpsons):
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.
