Onward (Pixar) | Official Trailer
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
I'm getting more of a What We Do in the Shadows vibe, personally.
I know he hasn't been as good in the past decades but I honestly am kinda glad the guy who played Guybrush Threepwood keeps getting work
art direction is still lackluster but im digging the Weekend At Bernies meets Roadtrip Movie meets Fantasy premise
ahaha
this got a chuckle out of me.
not calling you pretentious, but this post reads so pretentious lol
I dislike the art direction. The body types and faces feel like characters we've seen in animated films fairly recently.
I'm still gonna see it. I wasn't particularly excited for Inside Out and that film made me cry like a baby when I saw it so I'm sure this will hit me hard, too.

It should be noted that the vast majority of Pixar trailers are not very good, especially early trailers
Now, if you had compared this to something like Spider-Verse I'd agree.
Are you talking about the company that has used the exact same stock character design templates for almost every film they've ever made across 4 decades?

I'm so tired of "white suburban family" but with a twist! animated tropes. I've seen this mom a million times for example. She looks like a blue clone of the mom in Monsters U! Even the lanky lead is just a blue looking Linguini, down to his mannerisms. I mean I'm sure it's going to be entertaining but I expect better of Pixar by now, more specificity. Coco blew me away, but this disappoints me.
So.... Tear jerker ending. The trousers were magic trousers all along, and not sentient. The trousers weren't dad at all. They either find a "recorded message" OR their dad comes back for a very short time to say "I needed you to believe I was with you so you could become a wizard". Or something similar.
I know some think this is just a Dreamworks movie or what not, but this looks like a ton of fun.
Also it's nice having something new and not another remake or sequel

At the start of the trailer, my interest was probably about 4/10.
By the end, I'm at more like an 8.5/10. This seems cool.
I was definitely getting some Jack Black vibes, but it didn't really click until I read your post. You're spot on.
Everyone knows that Ghibli movies are great, but this is a hella lame take.

Not having heard of it previously, I thought briefly from the name that it might be a sequel to Up.
Kids or adults, that's probably ultimately who this is for; knowing Pixar, I'd bet the half-there parent is a metaphor for the memory and lasting legacy of a parent. Still able to influence your actions and emotions while not being able to directly communicate.
Onward is totes a double meaning in that scenario.
But pixstar and studio Ghibli are equal in terms of top-tier movies
