Deadline posted a nice interview with Dan Scanlon, the director of Onward. https://deadline.com/2021/02/onward-director-dan-scanlon-disney-pixar-animation-interview-news-1234691366/

The Quests of Yore game is actually being made, and it's a replica of Barley's copy. Here's an interview with co-writer/director Dan Scanlon talking about it.

I was watching the movie again last night and I got to wondering about something. It's not a plot hole because it doesn't really have anything to do with Barley and Ian's story, but it is an interesting thought. I'm going to put this under spoiler brackets just because it involves the ending...

Amazon just dropped the price on the art book to $18.61. Now, it's obviously not worth returning and reordering just to save 69 cents, but that is a little annoying since I've had it for just over a day. Oh well. If any of you want it and didn't grab it for $19.30, the deal just got nicer...

Well, that does narrow it down a lot. ;)

Everything? Literally? Like, you're not missing even one thing? Or were you being more general? I have a lot and even I don't have everything. Anyway, I hope Onward improves for you on second viewing. It's still my favorite movie so far this year. (Granted, I have seen way less new films...

Cool. But, if you didn't like it, why would you want to have the disc? (This is a serious question, not sarcasm.)

I thought I would bump this thread in case anyone else is interested in The Art of Onward book. When it originally came out back in March, Amazon was charging +/- $38 for it. I've been waiting patiently to see if it would go down in price. Lo and behold, it has finally happened. I just...

Disney responded to my email and said, "Thank you for contacting us. The issue you were experiencing should now be resolved. Please try redeeming your code again." So I did, and it worked this time. You might have been right about a delayed activation or something. In any case, that's...

Because I had already watched this again at home via Disney+ a couple weeks ago, I decided to play the audio commentary first tonight. It absolutely was recorded before the pandemic; near the end of it, they talk about the film's wrap party as a future event, so the theatrical release hadn't...

Yes, they are linked, but it's not showing up in My Movies. The only thing that linking them has done in the past is that if I were to buy a digital copy with no disc attached to it (which I almost never do), then I would get points for it. But it has not, previously, put the movie into my MA...

Since Disney never issued a press release for this title and I don't think a review was posted either, I figured I would put this post here, even though it is more related to the home release than the movie itself. I got the movie today from Best Buy, my preordered steelbook. When I opened it...

I watched Onward again today on Disney+ and it continues to hold up. Even though the meddling virus cut its theatrical release way too short, I think history will be kind to Onward. It is such a joy to spend time in this world with these characters, and it continues to be really emotional...

The graphic novel just came. I'll read it more throughly this weekend, but with a quick glance through some of the pages I can tell you the art is gorgeous. It's a little strange at first to see flat drawings of the CG Manticore character from the film, but I really like the designs and...

Thanks, Travis. I don't read many comics so wouldn't know, but that's interesting insight. I'm happy to get it early no matter what the reason. I thought it was kind of odd that it wasn't ready for publication when the movie came out, because obviously putting it out as close to the...

You are welcome. My estimated delivery date is Saturday, although of course some shipments are behind schedule because of the virus and there has apparently been a carrier delay, so it might be later than that. This is fine, though, especially since I wasn't expecting it until May in the first...

You're right, of course. I'm just glad it's on there, however it was recorded, because I'm looking forward to hearing it. We'll find out on May 19 when the disc arrives. I would guess that he probably did it around the time of the theatrical release, but if it's from his home, that's fine...

Disney's website listed some of the special features for the Blu-ray release, which is a month from today on May 19. Happily, commentary will be included. Special Features Deleted Scenes Quest for Story Heart’s Fire Dragon High Wizard Rock Citizens of New Mushroomton Fantasy Is Our Destiny...

Yes! Although I hope that a bigger audience will find the movie now that it is on Disney+, I'm disappointed that the virus stopped its box office run before it had a chance to develop any, well, legs. I know that people bash Pixar for the number of sequels they've done in the last few years...

I just got an email from Best Buy that my steelbook pre-order will be available for pickup on May 19. In the meantime, a reminder that the movie will be available for streaming on Disney+ tomorrow.

For the record, I'm not flooding the system with new orders either -- but I'm also not going to cancel my standing preorders of things I was already planning to buy. If it takes a few days extra to get a book, fine. But I'm not going to cancel it to prevent someone from having to bring it to...

I wasn't saying I expect to get the disc anytime soon. I'm fine waiting for that, especially since I would have waited for it anyway if the theatrical release had gone on longer. It would probably have been a June release under normal circumstances; if it ends up being later due to disc...

We'll see what happens. In the meantime, has anyone done a digital purchase of Onward yet? Especially if some of you watch it who didn't get a chance to in theaters, I'd love to hear what you think. Because I have the steelbook on order with Best Buy for $38, I'm not going to pay again to get...

Malcom, I get what you're saying, but when theaters reopen, why would the audience go back there to experience something that they've streamed at home during the shutdown? Those of us who hang out here like to experience theatrical re-releases. There is a reason that the vast majority of the...

I don't think the the chains mind very much that they took their movies to digital when theaters closed, insomuch as I fully expect them to continue to work with the major studios on future releases that uphold the windowing when theaters are back to normal operations. But I do think they will...

I'd love to see it come back to the big screen. I just don't think the theaters will be willing to partner on a title that is on Disney+ for $6.99 a month, for the same reason that they won't partner with Netflix. They value their exclusivity.

Oh, absolutely. I would not encourage anyone to seek it out in a theater at this point, if there are even theaters still open. And I am glad I got to see it in one. But I just feel bad for all the people who worked on it for so long with the expectation that it would play a normal theatrical...

I absolutely think you made the right decision. However, I think it's too bad that the film landed in this release environment in the first place. If Disney knew two weeks ago when they launched the film that the theatrical marketplace was about to collapse, they would have delayed the film as...

Insomuch as I love the film and therefore believe in its ability to attract audiences, yes. But I don't think that makes it impossible for me to judge the possible results of the film. Also, my reaction to a film has very little to do with public perception of it. If I were the arbiter of a...

This is all purely hypothetical. I'll contend that the reviews weren't Pixar's best, but the word of mouth was good. It got an A- Cinemascore and had a wide-open playing period in terms of family films. The next thing on the schedule for that bracket of the market was Trolls. When I saw the...
