Pixar's outstanding body of animation cinema gets yet another competent addition in Onward. The ingenious storytelling, eye-pleasing animation, fascinating imagination and enchanting wit are by now familiar beats in an emotionally rich tapestry of wonder and adventure. And as is often seen in Pixar's bountiful offerings, the themes of family, love, bonding, self-awareness and personal growth are the over-riding themes which touch the hearts of the young and old alike.

While Onward may not be exceptional in its craft or amiability, its familiar overtures accumulate into a feel-good family outing.
