Pixar film Onward, which was originally due to premiere on March 26, will screen on Disney+ from April 24. It will be preceded by a digital release on April 3,
“While we’re looking forward to audiences enjoying our films on the big screen again soon, given the current circumstances, we are pleased to release this fun, adventurous film to digital platforms early for audiences to enjoy from the comfort of their homes,” said Dan Scanlon (Director, “Onward”) and Kori Rae (Producer, “Onward”).
In “Onward,” teenage elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (voices of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) get an unexpected opportunity to spend one more day with their late dad, embarking on an extraordinary quest aboard Barley’s epic van Guinevere.
Like any good quest, their journey is filled with magic spells, cryptic maps, impossible obstacles and unimaginable discoveries. But when the boys’ fearless mom Laurel (voice of Julia Louis-Dreyfus) realises her sons are missing, she teams up with a part-lion, part-bat, part-scorpion, former warrior – aka The Manticore (voice of Octavia Spencer) – and heads off to find them. Perilous curses aside, this one magical day could mean more than any of them ever dreamed.
Disney+ on April 24

Is this the movie that had a Simpsons short preceding it? I do enjoy Pixar.
Yes it had a Simpsons short before it… and I must say… it was just ok.
I thankfully took advantage of advanced screenings over the weekend before the cinemas were ordered to close… so I got to see it in the cinema.
And what a wonderful film it is too. My eyes were well and truly moist by the end of it.
