Disney and Pixar have announced more details about their 2020 animated film, now known to be titled, Onward.
Onward will reunite, Avengers: Infinity War's Star-Lord and Spider-Man, Chris Pratt and Tom Holland as well as star Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Octavia Spencer. Dan Scanlon is attached to direct and the film is set to arrive in the former half of 2020.
Onward's synopsis goes as such: "Set in a suburban fantasy world, Disney•Pixar’s Onward introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there."
Whilst announcing the film, Scanlon explained the film's inspiration: “At Pixar we try to create stories that come from some kind of personal truth. This film was inspired by my own relationship with my brother.”
Producer Kori Rae, whom Scanlon previously worked with on Monsters University, went into what each of the film's stars bring to their characters:
Chris brings equal parts huge heart and fantastic humor to his character. Tom has an infectious charm and sincerity that makes you root for him in every character he plays. There is no one funnier than Julia, but she also brings a warmth and loving side to her character. Octavia can do it all. We’re especially excited about the depth as well as humor that she brings to her character.

Onward is set to arrive in theatres in early 2020.
