Onward’s world could use a little more magic.

Ross Douthat, National Review

It’s the heartwarming story that works its magic with humour and thrilling adventures along the way.

Ronak Kotecha, The Times of India

nward isn’t as visually exciting as their most ground-breaking pictures, nor does it hit the emotional highs and lows of Up or WALL-E

Declan Green, The Nerd Daily

Onward is a distinctly colorful animated film, its story feels like a variant on a low-key dramedy you might find at Sundance.

Josh Spiegel, Slash Film

Onward is, like so many Pixar movies before it, a deft blend of fanciful and relatable.

Wendy Ide, The Guardian
