Onward is Disney-Pixar's next animated film — directed by Dan Scanlon (
Monsters University). Tom Holland (
Spider-Man: Far From Home) and Chris Pratt (
Avengers: Endgame) play a pair of elvish brothers named Ian and Barley Lightfoot in a modern world of mythical creatures and magic.
For the former brother's sixteenth birthday, their mother (who is played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) allows them a gift from their late father. It's a staff capable of magic and spells, the most notable of which could allow the brothers to bring their father back to life — something they find particularly appealing as he passed away before they could properly meet him.
As well as those mentioned above, the cast also includes Octavia Spencer (
The Shape of Water) and John Ratzenberger (
Toy Story) but we're yet to find out anything about their roles.
Onward is set to arrive in theatres on March 6th, 2020.
Below you can check out both the exciting, new trailer for
Onward as well as an official poster (via
ComicBookMovie):
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 6, 2020.
