Pixar delivers yet again with this bright and breezy romp that falls into the category of the studio's more lightweight entertainments, in spite of still dealing with big emotional themes of family and loss that is their trademark. Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are perfectly cast as the two brothers on a magic quest to bring back their deceased father to spend one more day with him, with Holland in particular giving his character room to breathe by using thought and restraint in his performance effectively. The film is well-written, and again the advancement in background detail in the animation is quite astonishing in both rural and urban settings. Onward is probably not going to stand out as one of Pixar's most memorable films, but it delivers entertainment in every department.
