A New Pixar Adventure To Cry For (Disney Pixar's Onward)

-


Can anyone name a Pixar movie that hasn't made you cry or made you feel warm inside? (Except Cars 2) I'm sure you cant. Pixar has a history of making some of the best 3D animated movies and they have done it again with their latest release, Onward directed by Pixar alum, Dan Scanlon.

The new Pixar feature is based on the modern day lives of fantasy creatures like elves, unicorns and mermaids. The main story is about an 16 year old elf named Ian Lightfoot who has never met his father and has always wanted to live up to him. He learns that his father had left him in his brother, Barley a magical staff that can help them bring him back for one whole day and so the adventure begins. I shall tell you more for I will be spoiling.

Onward is the perfect addition to Pixar's ever growing roster of kid friendly movies that not only give you laughs and make you cry but also give you a new perspective in life. Onward may seem a tad similar to one or two previous Pixar movies but it shows that the familiar formula still works.

Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are the perfect pair to play brothers. People will happen to relate to both Ian and Barley in every way possible. These band of brothers are hard to forget and their relationship not only grows in this movie but also redefines who siblings really are to one another.

The animation of Pixar continues to set a bar in 3D animation for that visuals in Onward are breathtaking and the details are perfect. Directed by Dan Scanlon who happened to make the least inspring Pixar movies in my book has finally made his name worth popping up again in possible future feature for that his work for Onward was both his most personal and best work yet.

Coronovirus may be a common avoidance these days but for the sake of Onward, wear a mask and put on hand sanitizer to get a chance to not miss this possible Pixar classic in the making. I will be rating Onward a 9/10 for that I love it a little too much and I would do almost anything to watch it again. Unfortunately, I won't.

P.S. don't forget to bring tissues when you watch this movie.

Confessions of A Bored Vampire (Abigail review)

  I know it has been a long time since I have written a review. So many movies I watched a little later because of school and work. But I am back with a review because I was much inspired to write again about this probable cult classic in the horror genre. Abigail is the new horror popcorn flick worth catching before the summer movies roll in.  The film revolves around a group of troubled misfits who are hired to kidnap a rich man's daughter to get a handsome amount of money, they are stuck in a house with a child vampire that hunts them down on by one in hopes of getting out without their blood being drained.  I will not reveal too much for it is a movie worth catching at your own time to just have a blast at the cinema. Abigail can be seen as just another cash grab for a B-grade-looking horror movie featuring an expensive cast, its quippy script and interestingly written characters, this vampire film isn't like others. Or at least it makes its own bitemark to an overdon...

A Cautionary Tale That Should Have Stayed in 2004 (Mean Girls 2024 review)

-

After 20 years, the Plastics return in an all-new reiteration of Mean Girls, a cult classic teen drama that should have stayed in the early 2000s. No, it is not a sequel or a re-quel. It is very much a remake that is supposed to appeal to a whole new set of fans, possibly. It is also a live-action take on the Broadway musical that was inspired by the original film which, you guessed it, makes this a musical. Many people were skeptical about this idea, let alone knew it was going to be a musical while fans of the musical were wondering if it would live up to it.  As someone who hasn't seen the Broadway musical, it is hard to compare because I had never seen that cast, nor have I heard of the musical numbers before this so, I am unaware of that aspect of the film but I have seen the original film that starred Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. As someone who does, to this day, enjoy the original film, the remake does not live up to its standards but mostly for reasons that are not ent...

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Full Season Review)

  With the acquisition of the FOX properties, Disney had the chance to adapt to the world of Percy Jackson once again. However, unlike the last time, Disney makes an adaptation that lives up to the source material as well as embraces author Rick Riordan with production, casting, and various other factors that went into this show.  With this first season following suit of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson and The Olympians of course, follows the titular character learning of his mythological parentage and what that means when he is thrust into this world as he grows older and more powerful as a demigod. When he is chosen to go on quest based on a prophecy, he enlists help from Annabeth Chase and his best friend/satyr, Grover to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt.  Anyone who has seen the film that was released 12 years ago would have a good idea as to what this first season will cover but people who haven't read the original book will know the many change...
