The Hollywood Reporter - Pixar's 'Onward' to Voice Star Chris Pratt, Tom Holland, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Octavia Spencer

  Quote

The studio announced Wednesday that a new film called Onward will voice star Chris Pratt, Tom Holland, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Octavia Spencer. Monsters University director Dan Scanlon and producer Kori Rae are taking on Onward, which is set in a suburban fantasy world. It centers on two teen elf brothers who go on a quest to discover if there is still magic left in the world.

This feels like the same movie over and over again

 

At this point it's starting to feel creepy how they worship kids as their gods. It doesnt feel like a "friends" bond anymore

I’m definitely getting a Toy Story 2 vibe. Woody tries to save a toy... he gets lost... it’s up to the other toys to find him and bring him back. I feel like they could spice it up by maybe bringing back an old villain like Lotso.

And Toy Story 1 when Woody went to save Buzz from the crazy kido

And this whole "wild toys without owner" premise is pretty much Sunnyside again

 

Which pisses me off is that this recycled movie will make more money than LEGO Movie 2

It's good to finally get an idea of the plot of the film. I do have to admit that it looks like more of the same, but I'll keep an open mind and hope that Pixar will pleasantly surprise us like they always do.

Not really. Sunnyside was the toys submitting themselves to multiple children rather than just one. Bo is a lost toy and therefore truly without an owner. I think it will be interesting to see a toy embrace the owner-free life instead of getting traumatized or turning evil because of it. This will probably cause Woody to reexamine his own life. Questioning his purpose in life perfectly matches Forky's theme of existential crisis.

I see people theorizing that Bo will turn out to be the surprise villain in this one, but I don't really see that happening. The Super Carlin Brothers' theory about Giggle McDimples being the villain and Bo maybe being her pawn makes a lot more sense to me. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Well, the jokes and music choice in this one aren't great in my opinion. Also, it doesn't really show much new except for a few shots of Duke Kaboom, although this might be a good thing because according to a tweet from the director Disney has been restraining themselves from revealing too much. They did this with the Endgame trailers and seem to be doing so with Frozen 2 as well, so here's to hoping that the film will indeed have much more to offer than is apparent from the trailers.

We finally got our first look at Pixar's next film, Onward!

I was already intrigued by the premise, but this just made me really excited to see it! The animation looks like standard fair for Pixar, but the world and all the characters look like a lot of fun already! Especially love the bit with the unicorns, although that makes me wonder if the pegasus on the side of their van is also seen as a pest? Also, I can't help but hear Rex Dangervest out of Chris Pratt's character. :tongue:

Honestly, this is what The Good Dinosaur should have been like. They had an interesting premise with the dinosaurs surviving and evolving into the dominant species, but did hardly anything with it.

Can't wait to see this movie!

The two elf brothers definitely look like rough caricatures of their respective voice actors. :thumbup: :laugh:

That feels very Shrek-ish... which is bad a thing for both Disney and Dreamworks

Disney because this feels like it's already done. And Dreamworks because this is coming right when there are rumors of a Shrek revival

Probably because the opening of Galaxy's Edge overshadowed the release of this trailer quite a bit in terms of Disney news as it happened the same night.

I actually think that the big brother looks more like Jack Black who I could totally see playing this part as well, but yeah, good choices for the leads.

I've seen others say that they are getting a Dreamworks vibe from this trailer, but honestly I don't see it. Sure, Shrek had some references to modern times, but the world the characters lived in was still clearly your typical medieval fantasy land with magic and everything. We've never seen fantasy creatures living in a modern world without magic like this. This feels very different to me.

It's mostly from  Shrek 2 I'd say. Far Far Away was pretty much Hollywood with, and it was shown to have modern technology, like when they were wacthing "Knights" on TV or the red carpet broadcast. Also fast food chains, paparazzis with cameras and the concert at the end

Fair enough. I still think it's different to actually have the fantasy creatures live in modern times rather than just referencing modern day things, but I guess that's close enough for general audiences. I'm sure, though, that people will see the difference once they actually watch the film.

Speaking of negative preconceptions, it looks like the director of Toy Story 4 wasn't lying as the first reviews of the film are very positive and say that there is indeed a lot more going on in the film than is apparent from the trailers! I can't wait to see it now! :sweet:

To the box office... and beyond!

After watching Chris Stuckmann's review of the film, I think it sounds somewhat promising after all... :shrug_oh_well:

So I saw Toy Story 4.

In regards to the sets, It would’ve been cool to have seen Bo Peep’s Skunk/RC Car. But otherwise given the 4+ range they all seemed pretty accurate.

Well that teaches me to look at a set properly :grin: A larger one would have been nice but hey at least we got something. 

 

The Soul film looks really interesting as does the Onward film and it’s cool to see Pixar going for more original projects.

Saw Toy Story 4 two days ago. Overall I liked it better then what I thought I would based on the trailers but I do think its the worst of the franchise. I have more thoughts but I will put them in spoilers as I honestly don't know what some would consider spoilers. 

  Reveal hidden contents

Overall really great emotional scenes, lots of fun characters, but can be a bit lazy in places. 7.5/10 

If I were to rank the movies it would be like

4. Toy Story 4

3. Toy Story 3

2. Toy Story 

1. Toy Story 2

I just saw it too and I really liked it! I do agree with your ranking of it along with the other movies though. It has amazing visuals (obviously), great music (I smiled every time a song or musical cue from the past films started playing), good themes, and good jokes. Was it completely necessary? Probably not. Does it have as many memorable moments as the other movies? I don't think so. Was it still an entertaining and well made film? Definitely! Therefore, I do highly recommend it and hope people will learn from this to not be so quick to judge a movie they haven't seen yet.

That pretty much sums up this entire wave. I don't blame you for not noticing that sorry excuse for a recreation of that vehicle. A full scale one that actually opens up and everything would have been great. It would have been cool to get some Bensons as well. :sadnew:

Collider - First Images for Pixar’s ‘Soul’ Revealed; Cast and More Musical Details Announced

  Quote

We now know that the movie will follow Joe Gardner, a middle school band teacher and jazz aficionado who gets a big break to play at a high-class jazz club. The problem is, Joe apparently dies before he can get there and finds himself newly arrived in the “You Seminar.” And while that may sound decidedly dark, the core of the story is that Joe’s soul will get an opportunity to commune with a multitude of other souls that are awaiting a chance at consciousness. Thankfully, we have some concept art (and some casting details) to help wrap our heads around that.

Joe will be played by Jamie Foxx (Ray) while Tina Fey (30 Rock) voices a spritely soul-in-training named 22 who has an unexpected encounter with Joe when he accidentally finds his way to the “You Seminar.” Together, the two are going to find a way to get Joe back to Earth, making him think again about what it truly means to have soul.

But that’s not all! Ahmir Questlove Thompson (Detroit), Phylicia Rashad (The Cosby Show), and Daveed Diggs (Blindspotting) also star as a drummer, Joe’s mother, and Joe’s neighbor, respectively. And the musical hits keep on coming because Trent Reznor (The Social Network) and Atticus Ross (The Social Network) are composing the score while Jon Batiste (Red Hook Summer) is writing new music for the movie. Two-time Oscar-winner Pete Docter (Up, Inside Out) directs with co-director/writer Kemp Powers (Star Trek: Discovery), writer Mike Jones, and Oscar-nominee Dana Murray (Lou) producing. This is really shaping up to be something special.
