Onward 2020

If Frozen was Disney's touching story about two sisters, then this is definitely Pixar's touching story of two brothers. I really liked Ian and Barley's dynamic; it's nice to see that while the older one still ribs the younger one, they're still really supportive of one another. It's the glue that holds this movie together, and I'm glad that it plays a big part. Also, it took me a while to get used to Chris Pratt's voice coming out of an animated character, but all the voice acting is pretty darn solid.

The whole aspect of the dad's lower half being there is an inspired choice. It elevates the relationship between the brothers, and makes for some really funny jokes. I got a little choked up at times, so Pixar definitely checked those boxes for me.

It's a fun movie with a lot of heart. That's something Pixar has been doing for so long, and they still know how to do it well. These guys can really tell a story in every pixel and every sound.
