This bit had to be cut out for copyright but it adds an extra layer to Onward:

Let Me Explain I hate myself for reading this, that last paragraph got me
Let Me Explain may be leeching effects of self isolation but this one had me crying from the get, and that ending! Oh my lord.. although I think the good dinosaur is somehow still pretty high on the “continually sobbing throughout the movie” scale (just me? Ok)
valeria g I just finished it 😭 you’re right that last paragraph is so simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming
As if the ending of Onward didn’t make me cry enoigh
Could you do Locke and key
The ending is genius. Ian's journey is about realizing his brother's significance in his life but Barley's journey is about making up for the biggest regret of his life. So Barley needed to see his dad one last time but Ian didn't. And they found a way to do both.
Missy Barbour I’m tilted cause we know good and well that he had like 2 minutes to get out the pit and talk
I FUCKING CRIED SO MUCH
@@ADollarMight I'm pretty sure he tried and then fell and hurt himself
I do however feel like, not denying Barley's love for his brother but, this was also a way to somewhat make up for not being there for his dad in his final moments.
@@elijahcarrillo2358 I think him falling was so we can see the sun was about to set, but he really did sacrifice his one chance to see his dad for barley.
Onward was an amazing film. I will admit it does have some flaws, but the ending is absolute genius and I bawled my eyes out. I think it’s one of Pixar’s best and doesn’t deserve all of the hate.
egg I agree
egg It definitely doesn’t deserve the hate it got. I love a lot about this film but the one thing I don’t like is the worldbuilding not being as well thought out as Zootopia’s when it comes to the designs of the cars that accomandate the mythical creatures. That’s about it thouuugh.
MadDa Dog I agree with that as well. I never watched it before because everyone said it was bad but when I decided to watch it on Disney plus with my mom, we both enjoyed the ending very much and thought it was a great movie
@@ssffe529 I understand why people don't like it because the ending is divisive
This movie may just be one of my favorite Pixar films.
The trailer: this isn’t Pixar
During the movie: this feels like Pixar
After the movie: this is Pixar
Hotdog so true! Lol
More like
The teaser trailer: doesn’t feel like Pixar
The official trailer: ok it does have its moments
The official trailer 2: it has its emotional moments
While watching the movie: feels like a Pixar movie
After watching the movie: it’s a Pixar movie
Cmon, you really couldnt tell this was pixar after you found out about the dead parent?
8BitGod I can’t believe it either
No, if you have to even ponder if it's pixar in the first place, then it's a bad pixar
"To make sure you keep moving-"
Me: OMG he's gonna make the reference
"Ahead"
Me: oh
Emily Lemas Such a jerk move! 🙄😂
Forward *I'm making a reference from the movie Meet the Robinson
On
@@WisteriaWaves ward
bro the ending was sad and all, but like- when guinevere crashed i was WRECKED. That was the ONE thing that barley wanted to show his dad and then he just-
Right!!!! I was bawling😭😭😭
“The mom won’t leave her beard”
Now I’m enlightened
I literally choked
Had to replay it over and over to make sure I heard it correctly. I still didn't get it until I read this comment lols
What?
Nightwing Fast going to die because I don’t get it
@@mjbridges Even sleep deprived, you're right! I think a beard is the heterosexual partners of LGBT who are still in the closet and passing off as straight through these relationships.
Maybe my most favorite part of the movie was how in the end - where Barley was about to meet their dad and Ian was trapped in a pit of boulders - we were there with Ian, also trapped in a pit of boulders and can only see their dad from a gap in the rocks. It's like the movie put us through Ian's perspective the whole time. We've never seen Wilden except in pictures, don't know anything about him except for the things we hear from people, and well, we've never met him. It's like we go through everything feeling the same as Ian. Even in the end where everything is resolved, we also end up understanding Barley more.
Yes! Exactly! I love that shot so much! I feel it will go down in film history as one of film's best shots, or at least by the film historians that take animation seriously and don't just focus on live action films.
This movie honestly hit me straight in the feels. It's like Coco all over again, dang it.
Cristina Flanagan yeah. I really didn’t like it because it seems mediocre and bland
I literally cried it made me emotional
Yea
why do they make all the new pixar movies so sad. i cried SO hard with both. especially when mama coco died because she reminded me of my great grandmother
@@gabym7844 Oml same
The last time I was this early we could still shake hands and hug each other
Jelly Fish damn bro 🥺
Love this
That's like ages ago
Jelly Fish I’m stealing this just so you know 😂
Miss those days!
Went and saw this in theatres with my girlfriend, she cried when the van sacrifice happened. Power of Pixar ladies and gentlemen.
Granted she cries in about every movie
R/nothingeverhappens and I'll be ahead of other responses and say r/ihavereddit
Hi :D
@Opurz its 2 am and I'm putting of sleeping when I actually have to wake up early so yea
Honestly I did too
I don't know why its unheard of that the few days that it was able to be seen in theaters was actually seen in theaters.
After watching your actors bracket I can't unsee that tom holland always plays tom holland in different wardrobes
the wardrobe isn't even that different too. It's always sweaters and flannels like my boy has a type now
@@emilylemas8070 lmao you're right
At least Cherry will give Tom a different character to play for a change
They type casted Tom Holland like they type casted Emma Watson
My favorite scene was definitely the invisible bridge scene.
SPOILERS:
When Barley was holding onto Ian’s rope and it fell off, and he started tearing up, but still encouraging Ian to keep going hit me in several different directions. It’s probably the scene where I felt three different emotions at once; it was scary cus Ian’s literally right over a giant hole, it was funny cus of Barleys reaction, but it was sweet because Barley was still believing in Ian.
Yesssss! When Barley started tearing up and you could start to hear the panic in his voice the emotions just hit me like a truck. He was trying so hard to stay calm for his brother while all the while Ian was having the time of his life, blissfully ignorant
It's like a metaphor for letting the one you were caring for, no matter how scared they or you are, stand for themself on their own two feet. And no matter what happens you have to show them, you trust them. That's what I feel like this scene was showing
This is literally how it feels to be a parent and sending your child off into the big world on their own. It's terrifying to not be able to be there and help them if something goes wrong but maybe you taught them enough to make it.
Me too!!! I adored that moment where Barley was fighting back tears but still encouraging Ian, just perfect.
When Ian was checking off the list I bawled like a baby. Then when Barley was saying goodbye to his dad. :( I thought this move was really good in my opinion
i thought it was a really good representation of processing grief - especially the older brother who saw his last time with his dad as a mistake
Cindi that really hit me because my mom saw her grandparents as they were dying and it really messed her up. And that lead to her not letting my dad bring me to see my grandpa when he was dying. That happened when I was really young and it was one of the reasons they got divorced.
Cindi I agree. I’m 16 and lost my mother last year when I was 15 to lung cancer. It was 13 when she got diagnosed. I really feel like more movies should go deeper with childhood grief instead of using it as a plot point or to superficially add “depth” to a character.
please Im done crying
Liiiiiiisten.....are you gonna talk about Star Wars Clone Wars when season 7 is done? The amount of silent acting, the facial expressions between Anakin and Ahsoka in episode 9 just....man the FEELS. Sometimes you just don't need words. Love that.
Agreed, but don't forget about the awful storyline with the martez sisters, bc that shi🅱️ needs to be addressed. Disney managed to ruin 4 whole episodes (that could've been filled with something better) with one word: spice. I have spoken.
@@mandocalrissian6454 so many great arcs they wasted by having that trash arc
@@bigstunna2049 indeed and the fact that they were willing to alter the original episodes to include nonsense like this arc is just disappointing. Just bc Disney owns star wars doesn't mean that it's right for them to meddle with someone else's work (that being cartoon network's plans for season 7 and 8 of the clone wars), as that's something that should be left to the creator, Dave Filoni, and his original vision for these episodes.
But that season 7 episode 9 opening tho... "A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one."
@@mandocalrissian6454 well filoni actually defended the arc saying it was to focus more on ashoka because he wants to focus on rex and ashoka mostly this last season, but I still wish we could've got a better ashoka arc
This movie had my boyfriend crying. His best friend is his older brother, so this film meant a lot to him. Such an unexpected ending. Easily has been added to my list of favorite movies.
*Barley:* _"Dance off bro, just me and you..."_
*Ian:* [PIZZA TIME DANCE INTENSIFIES]
DANG IT-
I am PIZZA TIME!!!
I have seen this film maybe a dozen times with my 3 year old son.
We love it. He asks for the “blue people movie” regularly.
It’s my favorite Pixar film in recent memory
I personally loved this movie.
so much
Me too !
Treyvin Tracy, I thought that Conquer of Shamballa or the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood anime series was better than this movie, so maybe I’m the only person that feels this way.
a lot of people did
@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 i thought a lot more people loved this movie
The "two and a half men" part lmaoo
I was crying at “ but look they snuck in another two” hahahah
If it gets franchised, I would love to see this as kind of an anthology so we could experience more of the world and have more intimate stories like this one experienced by others.
Sorry I read somewhere that Dan said he isn't interested in making a 2nd Onward movie
@@aidanbarnes4290 dang thats a bummer
I wanna play a well done onward video game!
I am 41 years old, I just saw this movie and I had tears in my eyes at the end. I lost my dad when I was 14 and never got to say good bye. The ending to this movie is so beautiful
I know Disney had that whole thing with the cop being “the first lgbt character”, but what really meant more to me was at the end, one of the kids in Ian’s class was wearing a pride pin. I really thank the animator who decided to slip it in.
Someone else noticed!!!
I was going to make a comment about my love of Onward but I got distracted by the casual use of PRNDL as the proper name for the gear shift. Someone call London
OMG YES! XD That's exactly what I thought! Disney trying to sneak one past us!
“The mom won’t leave her beard!” You know you wrong but continue
😭😭😭
Taylor jay, he’s right though that Disney claims to support LGBT characters, but yet they don’t have the balls to say fuck you to China the country with the most bigotry and racism in the world.
Light Yagami they can support them and not make characters that are like that.
Light Yagami ....I think you misread my comment....”you know your wrong” translates to “you’re right and the joke was funny, I was not expecting the beard comment, but please, continue with the jokes!”
Kind of wanted her to. Never really liked the cop bf character and now after seeing this video, I so ship the mom and the manticore. Hell, that sounds like a great book title or sequel: The Mom and the Manticore. I'd so watch that.
Barley's actually my favorite character. I love how no one around him takes him seriously, but he was the one who was right all along. Honestly, I think he's supposed to represent millennials and how we're not taken seriously by the world around us despite the fact we're the generation making the changes to protect our planet. Barley is immersed in nerd culture, which is something that became mainstream in our generation and he's often trying to protect magical landmarks, in a way that mimics how environmentalists do so today. He may seem guide-less, but he actually knows more than Ian what he wants to do with his life and that's to protect magic. He's more than comedic relief and there's so much more to his character than meets the eye. I'm sure there will be some that think I'm looking too deep into this, but this is Pixar. They're known for having depth in their films, and I wouldn't put it past them to do this purposely.
I will say, the ending murdered me probably more than it would normally because my grandfather (who was very influential in my life) died less than two weeks before. But it was a good ending.
My grandad also passed away a few weeks before I saw this for the first time, and it so accurately depicted so much of my grief that I was bawling the entire time.
I honestly feel the Chris Pratt character , Barley would've totally been played by Jack Black judging by his design alone
I almost thought it was Jack Black for a sec
SAME
I thought so too at first but after watching the film, I think he's meant to resemble neckbeards more than Jack Black and that's just a coincidence. I mean he has the same backstory as Star-Lord so casting Chris Pratt was most likely their first choice tbh.
When Pixar hits you in the feels all over again...
Just wait until Soul comes out
I related to this movie so much
Yeah....me for reasons about parentals.
It would have been nice if one brother was turned into a suit of armor.
Unity Nanubeb Yeah, and one lost an arm and a leg.
Stellvia Hoenheim, it would have been better if Shadman just wrote the story and animated the movie because he writes better stories than Hollywood twats nowadays.
@Stellvia Hoenheim Your comment has cursed energy lmfao
You,know fun times.Lose an arm and a leg and your brother loses his entire body.Fun for the whole family y'know
I haven’t cried this hard at a kids movie in a looooong time
“The mom won’t leave her beard.” 💀💀💀
I finally sat down and watched Onward and by God it did it's Pixar thing and got me right in the feels. It was just what I needed.
I LOVED Onward. But I still continue to be the monster that I am who has never cried during a Pixar movie
Why is this so relatable?
Yeah, same. I've only ever cried in Coco
@@YUME_Slowed_And_Reverb awww i miss coco imma watch it again
@@YUME_Slowed_And_Reverb s a m e m a n
Ah man...see I wish I could get through even one without bawling my eyes out, but so far that hasn't happened. This one destroyed me.
Let Me Explain: “It is on Disney+ so check it out if you haven’t”
Australians: liar
Europeans: liar
Goron Slime what do you mean it’s out on disney plus on europe
@Meizar Farizky ???
lenny huh? Not in germany at least
confidentPrincessShy oh it is in the uk
06:42 - ahhhhh...LetMeExplain - that's why you do this for a living and I don't...my brain knew there was a deep meaning to Ian letting Barley be the one person to meet their father, but my brain couldn't encapsulate it in a neat package. You described it so well - Ian gave up his chance to say hello so Barley could say goodbye! What a satisfying antipode that it has ceased the ache on my brain~
I hope they release the roleplay game from the movie. Bringing the D&D audience together with Disney.
At that point wouldn’t it just be D&D but with their terms? Like how monopoly has a Nintendo version?
They did, it's on amazon. It's called Quest of Yore
@@captaintiefling9618 👀
To me, Onward was exactly what I want out of a movie! I laughed, I cried, and then repeated that cycle like 20x.
"it's only a matter of time before it comes to Disneyland" Disneyland already has a poultry palace
2:57 I SAW THAT WHILE I WAS IN THE THEATER I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY!! Sorry I’ve watched this twice now and I really thought that was a nod to that line from earlier. Like seriously I thought no one would notice.
Sorry, I haven't gotten to the beard joke yet.. I'm still dying over the 'half a dad is better than no dad' joke. 💀💀 You're wrong for that LME! 😂
This movie gave me an emotional attachment to a purple van that’s a win for me
I actually wasn’t excited for this movie but I watched on Disney+ and fell in love. A lot better than I expected
5:58 Isn’t that every Pixar movie (besides Cars 2)? Lmao
Thank you for pointing out the movie was good. So many other people are like "It's too formulaic" or "It's not pixar enough." Your review actually looked up more information and realized the significance of it.
“The mom won’t leave her beard” ur right, gay rights
Van Ozzy ?
@@lukesmellsgood2472 Hello?
I really like the journey Ian goes through in this movie, cause at the start of it he’s just like all the other people of today, living in the modern day style and relishing in the ways of modern day society, and in the beginning of the movie he thinks that Barley’s in depth knowledge and love for magic is stupid, but over the course of the movie he realizes just how great and useful magic can be, and ultimately it represents a modern generation kid learning the value of something old
You know it's good when just listening to you talk about this movie makes me cry. I'm about to start work! I can't stop bawling! 😭
I had my doubts about onward, it just seemed so manufactured when the trailers came out, but after watching it, I've come to realize it's actually a great movie. Pixar had not disappointed, even when everyone expected them to. After so many sequels and prequels, I was surprised to see such an original movies that still held some of Pixar's 'pa-zaz' to it. Would recommend, beautiful story with beautiful animation, and the main characters are very enjoyable (albeit somewhat underdeveloped) 13/10
1:00 awwww the feels for little LME. Bless your heart.
Also, that Vanity Fair video is unfair Art. I can barely see to write this. I lost the man I call Daddy at 12. I would almost kill to hear 2 words from him.
Not going to lie the dad would look like my engineering teacher if he had a smaller nose.
The brothers hug at the end 😭❤️👬
"the two and a half men dip on a road trip" 😂😂
I’m going to rant about this damn ending. Tom gets knocked out by the rocks. He’s knocked out for AT LEAST five seconds. For about fifteen seconds he witnesses the rest of his dad’s resurrection. Once his dad disappears 45 seconds later, Chris takes TEN GOD DAMN SECONDS TO COME SAVE HIM. So if Chris had gone down there right as he became conscious. *THEY BOTH WOULD’VE HAD THOSE 45 SECONDS*
Ok cinema sins
Joyce K i think i understand this reference. my family had the same response to my outrage.
@@kellercox1448 cinema sins is a TH-cam channel that nitpicks movies. Don't worry I do the same thing it drives my friends up the wall
Lol I completely agree.
I thought this and then immediately stopped caring because it was too emotionally potent. Wouldn't make sense for them to show him taking a long time to save his brother.
5:26 lol there’s already a Poultry Palace on Pixar Pier at DCA
I just finished this movie a couple of minutes ago for the 1st time.... Oh my gosh it was so good. I had my doubts when I 1st heard about this movie, then the reviews came in and I got mixed reviews from it but... Pixar truly still does have it's magic touch with original content. I will admit there were parts where it was kinda awkward, but the 2nd half of the movie really made up for it all. I give it an 8.5/10, a must-see movie, watch it during these dark times 😁
I feel like the thing that would have made this movie so much better is if they just put more effort into the world building. Like this is a society with 3inch pixies and 1000 pound centaurs and everything is made the same as our human world and they hand wave how everyone else interacts with this world. Like both the pixies and the mantacore have wings but it’s only magic if the pixies use it? And how is it harder for them to use wings versus learn how to drive a human size motor bike and communicate well enough to actually use it? Also they made dragons both dog sized pet and a fearsome monster and the logistics of having a dragon are some how the same as a dog? And how is running as a centaur so much harder than squeezing a body that’s twice the length/height as a human into a humans sized car that we can barely fit in sometimes? And the trolls are just blue people with pointy ears, an excuse for a fun design really. And I gotta be honest our world is obsessed with the past so I found the fact that monuments were regularly torn down kinda odd. Plus I have serious doubts that everyone would just give up magic, like yeah light bulbs are cool and all but magic can make you shrink and grow things and make you fly (Without wings)?! Like sure some people but I’m willing to be there’d be a dedicated group of people who learn magic or schools for magic. Basic magic as a standard or something. I’m not saying they had to think of everything I just wish they put in more effort.
6:43 idk why, but Ian Lightfoot in this scene reminds me of R2 being covered up by an unnecessarily added rock formation in later editions of ANH when Ben Kenobi scares off the tusken raiders
The bridge scene was absolutely golden
So enjoyed it and totally wasn't prepared for the feelsss.
Keep moving .... Ahead lmao. Bro this is the best let me explain video you ever did lmao 😂
Poultry palace is an actual eating location at Disney’s California Adventure
I watched it this week and may or may not have cried like 3 times.
“The mom won’t leave her beard” 😂😂😂
This movie really got to my dad. He had an older brother (who died) who kinda took care of him cause their dad died when my dad was 13.
i watched the video , you’re right , it did get to me. great video as always man , thanks for hours of entertainment!
I cry so much with this end...cry without control at the movies,they really destroy me with that end,i recently lost my brother and oh God 😭😭😭
For me I didn’t care what Pixar is supposed to be. Judge the movie on its own, and it’s very beautiful, I cried like a baby.
when are you going to do High School Musical: The Musical; The Series
One thing I thought was super refreshing was how Barley was never jealous of Ian at any point in the film. As the magic and legend nerd, Barley has every right to be upset that he wasn’t blessed with magical capabilities and his brother was, but the fact that he was completely and wholeheartedly supportive of him despite this only drove home how great of a brother/father figure he was to Ian.
I'm four minutes in and I thought Chris Pratt was Seth Rogen, I'm losing my mind aren't I? 😍😍
This movie had me tearing up at the end. Really hit home ):
I kin Barley soooo much. As an older sibling who is geeky, likes rock, plays a ton of dnd, and has no idea what to do with their future I just related to this guy so much. It was incredibly entertaining and my entire family was talking about how Barley reminded them of me.
I dont have any parking fees
The whole "This man really put and O on the PRND12!" (pronounced prendle!) really got me!
I thought you were going to finish by saying onward! lol. Great video
Wow this review made me cry 😢. So beautiful.
All of the celebrity interviews make it look like he hated Onward, but luckily he didn't
This was honestly one of my favorite Disney Pixar movie... Maybe it’s because I saw the classics when I was little, but I really thought it was so powerful!💜
I knew throughout that the ending would make me cry
I just didn't know how yet but I knew I would
Why did I cry again when he was explaining the end of the movie 😭😭
Bruh this movie is so sad that I cried just reading the summary
They need to STOP typecasting Tom Holland, he's got range
4:29 “This man put an O on the PRNDL” You gave me flashbacks. The suite life of Zack and Cody was the best!!!
I absolutely loved this animated film. I watched it 3 times in one day. But based on other people's reactions, I think I liked it so much because it hit something really personal. And i love the fantasy take on it (very D&D). And WHAT MADE IT SADDER, is I kinda saw it coming that Ian wouldn't meet his dad in the end, and that made me really cry the whole time.
I was excited to see Onward but I didn't really have any expectations BUT OH MAN I LOVED IT. My sister was basically like a mom growing up so I can see how Ian saw Barley like his dad and it made me cry so much.
No shout out for the van scene?
Oh come one, it was awesome!
Tbh, Tom Holland and Chris Pratt did an excellent job on voicing these characters. They aren’t just some hot-shots Disney hired to get a large audience, like these guys can act, whether it’s voiced or not.
That ending almost made me cry and I've never almost cried over a movie. "Train to Busan" and "The Man from Nowhere" are the only one I can think of.
I just finished this movie and cried so much.
Good stuff man! You are an amazing yt! And 1 more thing listeeen...
Bro I could barely watch the last 20 minutes or so of the movie I was crying so hard. If they wanted to slap people with emotion they would have killed to see my reaction because my hands didn't leave my cheeks to stop wiping away tears until the final credits.
Awesome review 👍 I watched this in theaters and I really like it especially the ending it was so emotional but I did feel like the pacing was really off. Other than that it really is an enjoyable fun movie. I really do love that we finally got a movie about brotherly love and the loss of a father we don’t get a lot of children’s movie like that
Me and my big sister watched the movie together. When it finished we had a moment of silence for like 3 minutes
*And then we started crying while saying we are thankful for each other*
AND THEN WE STARTED FIGHTING
This is last movie I saw on theaters before quarantine started. I watched it with my brother for his birthday. He was turning 16. Needless to say, we both cry
It's such a great ending, it's something that's bitter Sweet and I wouldn't change it
2:20 why am I just hearing that joke now
I had no idea what to expect when I saw this movie in the theatres and I left in SHAMBLES! Top tier Pixar in my opinion, so so so cute.
