Re: Disney/Pixar's Onward (2020, D: Scanlon) V: Pratt, Holland, Louis-Dreyfus, Spencer
I know many families that will not be taking their kids to Onward and maybe other Disney movies.
My kids are in their mid-20's now, but since I have a grandkid coming soon...I will not be taking him to any Disney movies in the future.
When I was kid and when my kids were young, we NEVER had to worry about anything from Disney. Now, Disney is sliding in "Social Training" in into our kids, no thanks Disney, my family will taking of training our kids...we do not need you help.
I own every Pixar movie and LOVE them all...Onward is were it comes to an End.

BTW - No post or even mid-credit tag in this movie. Lame!

Anyone who somehow thinks Disny/Pixar is engaging in "social training" -- whatever the fuck THAT is -- needs to turn off the AM Talk Radio.
Anyway I also found the film touching, affecting, and fun. It was "slight" Pixar but enjoyable Pixar. I had an overall enjoyment of the film that surpassed by Toy Story 4 and Incredibles 2. And I can't wait to see Soul.
The Simpsons short before the movie felt odd and ill-placed at first, but we thought it was cute and really enjoyable.

I think Disney just wants to make really sure everyone knows that they now OWN the Simpsons.

So does this really feel like a Pixar film? Everything I've seen makes it look like one of those paint-by-numbers Dreamworks films and I have no desire to see it at all.
Does it do it's own thing?
And is Iron Giant really serious about all that?
Cause, yeah, we can really get into some stuff about that movie from which they get their name...

It’s like a Pixar film because it has some emotional heft. You do get a little choked up at the finale. That said, it really felt like a lesser Pixar film because 1) it’s not very funny, 2) it feels very predictable most of the way through and 3) Chris Pratt’s character - basically the films co-lead is pretty much an asshole and not someone you want to root for. Plus these stakes feel really low.

The Iron Giant is about as anti-gun as Saving Private Ryan is anti-German. Stop acting like emotional cripples.

This will never be one of my favorite Pixar films, but it definitely got to me for some personal reasons.

Pixar's 'Onward' banned in several Mideast countries over lesbian reference
Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have all banned the film due to the reference. Russia, which has a history of banning or censoring LGBTQ content, censored the scene by changing the word "girlfriend" to "partner."

My daughter and I enjoyed Onward.
Also don't understand why Decker felt Pratt's character was an ass... Pratts character was a purely good-hearted guy and probably the funniest aspect of the show at numerous points.

I saw this yesterday and enjoyed it. If I had to rank all the Pixar films this would be somewhere near the middle of the list. As someone that grew up on Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance books the fantasy elements really worked for me.
The theater was dead, though. It’s spring break here right now so I expected it to be busier than usual for a weekday afternoon, but there was only about 10 people in the theater (counting my son and I). I wonder if the coronavirus is a factor with that.
