Pixar's Onward: Critics praise Dungeons and Dragons-esque 'emotional experience'
The first of Pixar's two 2020 animated features is almost out and those that have seen it are finally allowed to tell the world. Onward reunites Marvel stars Chris Pratt and Tom Holland in a post-Endgame world, pushing the two MCU superheroes together as fairy tale elf brothers on a quest to meet their dead father.
