Variety

"Onward is basically a 1980s Spielberg absent-father reverie combined with Harry Potter as a teenage American geek merged with “Medieval Monsters, Inc.,” all suffused with a token aura of hobbit-as-suburban-geek Tolkienism."

Forbes

"Pixar’s Onward is a thoughtful and contemplative adventure fantasy that doubles as self-reflective commentary. Onward is a promising start to the next era for Pixar, one without an over-reliance on sequels and one without Lasseter at the helm. Onward, to infinity and/or beyond."

Indiewire

"Onward is all about honouring a dad’s final wish to spend time with his sons before time runs out. “I love that it is this very small, intimate story told in this gigantic, over the top, huge world. It sneaks up on you, much like life. But, in the end, there’s this sweet point to it all."

IGN

"It's a charming story that will tug at your heartstrings from the very start with its tale of father-son yearning and brotherly love. Then the waist-high Dad twist gives a jaunty weirdness that allows for a slew of silly visual gags, some of which seem snatched from Weekend at Bernie's."

Screen Rant

"Onward is a delightful and magical road trip movie about brothers finding common ground with each other as they figure who exactly they're meant to be. It's a testament to Pixar's form, even if it doesn't push those boundaries at all, choosing instead to play it safe"
