Pixar has set a high standard for animated movies over the last 25 years, but its latest title 'Onward' isn't quite up to par with the animation studios' previous classics like 'Toy Story,' 'The Incredibles' and 'Monsters Inc.'
"Onward" isn't quite up to par with Pixar classics like "Toy Story," "The Incredibles" and "Monsters Inc."The biggest gripes from critics included the film's "cookie-cutter story line" and that the film felt like a knock-off Pixar movie.
The film features Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as the two brothers and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as their mother. "There have been lesser Pixar movies before: 'Monsters University,' 'Incredibles 2,' the entire run of 'Cars," Burr wrote. "'Onward' is the first that feels like it could have been made by any other animation studio."
"It's no 'Toy Story' — but [Pixar's] latest, about two elf brothers on a quest, is still worth your while," Peter Travers, of Rolling Stone, wrote in his review of "Onward." Even the first half hour of the film seems bogged down and generic. However, as the film moves along, moviegoers will begin to care more about the characters and their journey.
