In Onward, the newest family adventure from Disney/Pixar, two elf brothers (voiced by Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) set off on an epic journey to be reunited with their long-gone father. They are supported by their loving mother (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and The Manticore (Octavia Spencer), a friendly creature in a world that was once filled with magic.
Now playing in theaters nationwide, Onward proved to be a big hit with audiences over the weekend. What does the future hold for animated films that are designed for families to enjoy together? Here are three upcoming adventures that sound especially appealing.
Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) return to unite a vividly-colored world divided by strikingly-different musical styles. Judging by the latest trailer, we can anticipate a lot of good-natured, cheerful fun that will appeal especially to families, but also everyone who loves music.
