The new movie will reunite two of the Avengers cast!

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the first official trailer for Onward.

Plot it’s all about:

After 2018’s Oscar-nominated Incredibles 2, and this June’s Toy Story 4, Pixar will be delivering their first non-sequel since Coco early next year, which is the first of two Pixar releases due in 2020, but the other is still top secret.

Onward is set in a suburban fantasy world, where two teenage elf brothers embark on a quest to discover if there is still magic out there.

The brothers are played by Tom Holland (Spider-Man) and Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), perhaps better known for recently saving the universe in Avengers: Endgame. Their mum will be voiced by none other than Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the comedic genius from the likes of Seinfeld and VEEP.

Between this and Toy Story 4, we’ve also got Frozen 2 due right before Christmas this year, so Disney are bringing out all of the big guns in their animated movies over the next year or so! It’ll be a proper in-house fight for the Best Animation Oscar next year!

Director: Dan Scanlon (Monsters University)

Starring: Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer

Release Date: 6 March 2020

Enjoy!
