Pixar Announces Suburban Fantasy Film Details for Onward
Disney’s Pixar Animation Studios announced the title of its next feature-length project: Onward.
Pixar Animation Studios revealed today four members of its voice cast for its original new feature film “Onward,” including Chris Pratt (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), Tom Holland (“Spiderman: Homecoming”), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”) and Octavia Spencer (“The Shape of Water”). Directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae, the team behind 2013’s “Monsters University.”

The plot will follow two teenage elf brothers (presumably voiced by Pratt and Holland) as they embark on a quest to see if there’s any magic left in the world.
“At Pixar we try to create stories that come from some kind of personal truth,” said director Dan Scanlon (Monsters University) in a press release. “This film was inspired by my own relationship with my brother.”
Onward comes to theaters on March 6, 2020.
