Disney Pixar's 'Onward' trailer released, fantasy adventure set for 2020

Disney Pixar has released the trailer for 'Onward', a new animated feature directed by Dan Scanlon, known for 'Monsters University' (2013) and a 'Cars' spin-off short (2006). The film is set in a fantasy world that has lost its magic, inspired by Scanlon's own childhood loss of his father. It follows two elf brothers, Barley and Ian Lightfoot, on a quest to revive their deceased parent for one day. The story blends suburban American settings with mythical creatures like bored mermaids, stray unicorns, and domesticated dragons. Scheduled for spring 2020, the film promises humor and emotion typical of Pixar, while reflecting on societal change.
