This movie was so flat. I felt forced to laugh at the slightest bits of "comedy" given throughout, no genuinely funny moments I saw. A cliche "dead father, race against time, almost get it but 'you learn something all along along the way'". Exposition was TOTALLY rushed and gave no backstories or reasons to like these characters or care for them. The Ian character is your typical average teen character with a voice that nearly got on my nerves. Barley (what is this name lol) was okay but not developed as fully or focused on he should have been. Manticore was just Miss Fritter from Cars 3, mother reminiscent of Squishy's mother from Monsters U. No real chance of any character (not even Ian!) to be fully developed for me to grow a connection to them. It was rushed, cliche, and predictable. Ending was an attempt to pull me in, and almost did, but it just wasn't enough.

And no, it was not even close to being like Frozen besides the "only having each other" cliche despite these two having their mother. But would definitely recommend over it.

"On a quest, the clear path is never the right one."

However, the plot of Onward took only the most clear and easy ones.

In fact, movie feels formulaic at times, plot can be easily guessed (or, for those that couldn't be guessed - unnecessary), further dragged out by the lacking tempo of the screenplay, especially in its first 30 minutes.

Overall, this film feels like it's released on a due date - not because it was ready to be released.

This movie does feature an ever-so-great character animation, the genuine theme and the settings of the Pixar Studios. But unfortunately, the magic inside the film never bursts out of the screen.

Okay so going into the movie i knew it was gonna be really something special here there were laughs threwout the movie and it had a beautiful soul and heart i loved the heavy brother and i loved the action as well a huge amount of stuff going on maybe a little scary for the youngest of kids
