Rotten Tomatoes Reviews For Onward Are In

Pixar is moving Onward, and critics are pretty much on board.

Reviews are coming in for Pixar's latest offering, and the general consensus is that while it may not be quite on par with some of the studio's classics, it still packs plenty of laughs, charm, and eye-popping animation.

Onward tells the story of two elven brothers who inhabit a once-magical world that seems to have lost some of its luster. Together, they embark upon an epic quest to discover if there is any magic left in the world, magic which might help them resurrect their departed dad long enough for them to give him a proper goodbye.

The flick is directed by Dan Scanlon from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jason Headley and Keith Bunin. Marvel Cinematic Universe alumni Tom Holland stars as Ian Lightfoot, while Chris Pratt lends his voice to Barley Lightfoot. Among the supporting cast are Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Ali Wong, and Tracey Ullman, whose Fox variety show introduced the world to The Simpsons in 1987.

Even the flicks that don't live up to the greatest entries in Pixar's catalog are still going to be a cut above your average animated fare, and the majority of critics felt that Onward was a perfectly fine animated comedy with the requisite amount of heartstring-tugging. Also, obviously, it looks spectacular; nobody ever accused Pixar of cutting corners when it comes to animation. Kristy Puchko of IGN wrote:

"...Scanlon has crafted an adventure that gleefully flies high with its fantasy elements, yet never loses touch with its grounded family tale... Plus, it has a sensational pace that keeps the adventure rollicking and keeps the audience on the edge of their seats... a terrifically entertaining tale filled with humor, heart, and allusions that are sure to delight fantasy fans."

Many reviewers were a bit more reserved in their praise, alluding to Onward's failure to hit the storied heights of Pixar's greatest while still acknowledging its strengths. CBR's Cynthia Vinney said:

"Onward simply doesn't have the same emotional, dramatic or comedic power as the best of Pixar... [It's] a minor entry in the Pixar canon... a perfectly pleasant way to pass the time." Keep watching the video to see that the Rotten Tomatoes reviews for Onward are in!
