We seem to have more time on our hands than normal right now (I’m sure you do too) and movies are a great way to spend time with the family. One of the movies we recently watched was Onward from Disney and Pixar. I was bummed that we didn’t get to see it in the theater so when it came out on Digital I knew I had to get It, and thankfully Disney sent us a copy.
The cast of that voice the characters is full on A list. I’m talking Octavia Spencer, Chris Pratt, Tom Holland, Ali Wong, Wilmer Valderrama and so many more is ridiculous how many talented actors they got for this movie. The movie held the kids attention the entire time and is super cute.
In ONWARD, teenage elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (voices of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) get an unexpected opportunity to spend one more day with their late dad, embarking on an extraordinary quest aboard Barley’s epic van Guinevere. Like any good quest, their journey is filled with magic spells, cryptic maps, impossible obstacles and unimaginable discoveries. But when the boys’ fearless mom Laurel (voice of Julia Louis-Dreyfus) realizes her sons are missing, she teams up with a part-lion, part-bat, part-scorpion, former warrior – aka The Manticore (voice of Octavia Spencer) – and heads off to find them. Perilous curses aside, this one magical day could mean more than any of them ever dreamed.
You can buy it digital on Movies Anywhere right now, which makes it perfect for the entire family and movie night. I don’t know what I would do without that platform. It makes it so nice for times like this when I don’t want to wait for the movies to come out on Blu-Ray (which will be in the middle of May).
I highly recommend buying Onward today if you want a great family movie as you won’t regret it.

This is a movie we wanted to see every since we saw the preview for it in another show. We never got to go, so we will probably buy it.
ReplyDeleteOnward sounds like a great story and I didn't know a lot of my favorite people were in it. I love Octavia Spencer, especially in Snowpiercer. It's been a while since I saw her in a more light-hearted, comedic role.
