There’s no magic like family as Walt Disney Studios / Pixar Animation releases the new official trailer for their upcoming animated feature Onward. View trailer below.

The film is set in a magical world populated with elves, trolls, mermaids, centaurs, fauns, satyrs, gnomes, sprites, goblins and all other mystical creatures. This world, however, where fairy tale was once the reality, is losing its sense of magic. Its inhabitants use machines such as mobile phones and cars instead of magic. Two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, embark on a quest to discover if there is still magic in the world in order to spend one day with their father, who died when they were too young to remember him.

Oh wow….I wasn’t really expecting a new trailer so soon from Pixar. Then again….they usually release a new trailer for towards the end of the year for the next project. Still, this new trailer definitely showcases plenty of new footage; showing off a lot more “heart” than the previous trailers as well as presenting more of the central conflict of the movie, with Ian and Barley going on their quest. With Pixar having a good track record with their last hits such as Coco and Toy Story 4, I am very eager to see how Onward will be received by the public. Plus, as I said before, I love that Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are the main characters of the movie. All in all, I can’t wait to see Onward.

Onward  journeys into theaters on March 6th, 2020
