Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Chris Pratt and Tom Holland play teenage elf brothers in the new suburban fantasy-adventure animation, 'Disney-Pixar's Onward'.
Joining the voice cast are Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer. Helming the movie is Dan Scanlon (Monster University) who shared that the movie is inspired by a meaningful moment in Scanlon’s childhood.
Onward tells the story of two young boys who lost their father and want to learn more about him. But in this world, there once was magic—though, over the years, it kind of went away as machines were invented to take its place. Still, the world of the film still sounds like there’s a lot of magical potentials. In that fantasy world, elves, trolls and mythical creatures live in harmony, except for unicorns who are not exactly well-received by the residents.
"Tom Holland is perfect for our character of Ian, the younger brother," Scanlon told People. "We were looking for someone who could have this shy quality and someone who is good at being a little awkward. And Tom is great at that! And yet has a genuine sweetness to him that you really root for him.”
Take a look at the just-released trailer for the film and let us know if you think this is going to be a fan-favourite as well.
