I loved this movie so much!
While the D&D setting made for some good laughs, they really put in the work to make sure that each of the emotional moments felt earned and true. I can't wait to see it again.
Also, I was at DHS this weekend, and was thrilled to see Onward merch out, and some good stuff, too. I bought the Guinevere t-shirt, and the figure set. Almost got the Barley plush too, but i'm trying to stay on a budget. LOL

I got to see this earlier in a near empty theater, which was a surprise since it's Tuesday ($5 movies!) and typically all showings are near sold out on this day at this theater.

Anyways, really surprised by the movie. I didn't follow the movie much, only just saw the teasers and trailers, in which it didn't interest me much. But as always, Pixar/Disney pulls thru and delivers a nice and enjoyable product in the end. It was nice to see an original new product. Comparing this to the last original IP from Pixar, Coco, I much prefer Onward.

The beginning kinda bored me a little, but as soon they head off on their adventure my interest rose and I was hooked! I had some good laughs, and dare I say tearey eyed. It's not a true true happy ending in Disney fashion, but still a happy ending overall as one sacrifices for another's happy ending and closure with their dad.

Overall I would give this a ~9/10. The secondary plot with the mom and the Manticore seemed eh, but it comes around in the end ig.

I just love this movie. Much like the early days of Supernatural, stuff that is about the strong connection between brothers just slays me, probably because I've always wished I had one.

Although if they do have a Pixar short for this, like Lamp Life or Party Central, where they dive into the backstory more- I would sure love to see more about the Mom, maybe even the outings that she and the manticore get into- that would be cool.

I think I've watched this 5 times now, between the theater, and Disney+.
