The film will focus on a suburban world where elves, pixies, sprites and the like are its inhabitants instead of humans, and two brothers who seek to learn about their father who died when they were kids. Sounds like they're doing a Spielberg homage movie where all the characters are from like fantasy stories.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm in.

 

[Silvermoth]

I would like to see the local gay couple that lives next door as a pair of centaurs please

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

I'm in, too.

 

[Abudefduf]

We have a title. @terry78, you know what to do.

 

[Drizzle]

I didn’t even know this was happening. I was wondering what they had in the pipeline after Toy Story 4. The cast looks promising too. But the font of the title makes me feel like it’s a sequel to Brave.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Sounds Amazing. All in. It's Pixar & fantasy and if it's Spielberg-like then that is simply film heaven.

 

[terry78]

Yeah that'll do. They are the only ones that can do an all star cast and not have it come off as pandering.

 

[samsnee]

No chase scenes. Their movies all have a chase scene.

 

[Arachnerd]

...weird criticism, but okay.

Curious about this. If it's anything like Coco, I'm gonna adore it.

 

[AResistor]

No chase scenes. Their movies all have a chase scene.

All Pixar movies must be The Fast And The Furious.

 

[terry78]

I actually wish they literally called it Suburban Fantasy.

Is that why you still haven't changed the thread title?

 

[terry78]

I don't have that power, do I?

Edit: Apparently I do.

 

[Mandon Knight]

I don't have that power, do I?

Edit: Apparently I do.

Just about to flag it for you Tel, but you've done it, good work sir.

Voice cast is Chris Pratt and Tom Holland as brother elves, along with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Octavia Spencer.

Pixar announces 'Onward' starring Chris Pratt, Tom Holland

 

[Hunter Rider]

I hadn't heard about this until today, it's Pixar so I'm already interested and the premise is intriguing, Holland and Pratt should be a fun combo.

 

[samsnee]

I hope Pratt doesn’t sound or act too much like his LEGO movie character. Holland also has that animated movie with Will Smith too.

 

[David H.]

Bright 2.

 

[Lily Adler]

In a world where one word titles take over the world.

 

[Drizzle]

Yeah that'll do. They are the only ones that can do an all star cast and not have it come off as pandering.

Still, it almost seems unfair that Chris Pratt gets to be the lead in The Lego Movie and a Pixar movie. I know Will Arnett and Charlie Day did too but they were just minor supporting roles.

 

[samsnee]

Which Pixar movies were they in?

 

[terry78]

Charlie Day was in Monsters University and Arnett was in Ratatouille.

It's probably a bizarre criticism on my part, but I do keep finding myself less and less charmed by Pratt the more that Hollywood wants him to be their one and only leading man. Like, on the one hand, I'm happy he's found success, but on the other... give me my pudgy Parks and Rec supporting actor back.
