![FNAF Into the Pit has A LOT of Unused Graphics | LOST BITS [TetraBitGaming]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6YhZCRdipl4/mqdefault.jpg)
I appreciated that Barley didn't have any hang ups on his little brother being the one with the magic ability. From the first second, he was stoked and excited that HIS brother was a wizard.
i was worried about that too
I really think he prefer to be on a warrior side since he really likes dnd plus a wizard brother is a cool duo like a warrior and wizard really.
Spoilers* ->
Just like a dad. If you have Disney plus? I strongly recommend watching inside Pixar’s last episode in season one.
I mean I was near tears man.
Me too, usually the brother/sibling/person will get jealous and it totally ruins the character. I like how they made him happy for his brother and not jealous like they do with everyone else.
@@edenography It doesnt necessarily ruin the character, it depends on the excecution tbh, it can be used as a plot device to spice up the plot and character development, like think Aang and Katara when they found out how much more talented he was than her despite he only beggining to learn water bending while Katara had been training on it her entire life
I appreciate how they didn't villainize the step-dad, it could have been so easy for them to do their "twist villain" trope that's gotten overused the last decade. So good on them for breaking away from that formula!
Redgnome110 yeah the film didn't really need a major villain so it's good they didn't force one in
Honestly he just came across as a cool dude trying to connect with his step sons, very wholesome
that was my second guess as to what they'd do; they went with what was literally my first guess. I only know this cause I watched the Pitch Meeting installment.
Pixar in particular tends to shy away from the "obvious villian" or there even being a real villain at all tropes.
I would have liked to have seen him acknowledge Barley more though. You had the scene where the cops call him a screwup and we get Ian's resolution, but I have to wonder how they talk about him to each other on the job.
I actually did remember at one point Barley said to his brother "I couldn't do it because the magic wasn't in me, but it is in you". So they did kind of straight-out say that you had to be born with the "gift" of magic.
Yeah Barley explained that only certain people have the gift and Ian was that person atm
This was actually how the exchange went.
Ian: "so we just do the spell again!"
Barley: "you mean you have to! The only person who can do the spell is the one that has the magic gift! And my little brother has the magic gift!"
Or something very close to this, I think I got a few words off.. but yeah, you're right.
Eren Rodriguez the problem is no one will remember a small conversation. It needs some kind of visual explanation or a full complete explanation about it.
@@lillowh6126 Actually yes because people did remember that small conversation 🤣 It wasn't small, it was a big part of the plot it's what got them to start the quest. He had the gift so they were able to do it all
Sub 2 Maximillion shhh 🤫
This movie hit me hard, because I'm an older brother who's had to take care of multiple siblings growing up, and that scene where Ian is remembering all the times Barley was there for him... only the manliest tears were shed that day.
DITTO, being an older sibling that had to parent a younger sibling, it really hits different to see that representation and acknowledgement
@@gossamergutz7321 I still get choaked up when I watch it.
@@DurtyDan lmao I SOB
Literally all of us!
Same with here but instead being the young sibling losing father and can't remember anything about him and hits hard when both me and brother wants to see our father so badly. Even like for 24 hours
Saber: I didn’t cry during this movie
Me: *sobs aggressively*
Miss P so you cried during the movie
I cry just thinking about the ending lol
I got emotional at the hugh part.
I got as far as the cassette tape, and it's all over for me. Cannot stop the tears.
Same
When barley told Ian “dad also told me to give you this” then hugged him I balled my eyes out
As someone with a siblling, a missing father, and a love for DND; I can say that this movie really meant a lot for me. Probably my favorite disney/pixar movie ever made.
Spoiler:
When Barley talked about seeing his dad all hooked up to tubes and not the same as the person he knew until then. and not being able to say goodbye. that resonated with me personally because when i was 13 I watched my best friend of 8 years slowly pass away from cancer and at the end, i saw him, full of tubes and i didn't know that would be my last chance to say goodbye. and this movie broke me. i agree it's not quite as good as Coco, but it means much more to me personally.
JohnnyAngel im so sorry that happened.
Movie talk: i thought it was better than Coco. I only really felt Coco when they sang the Remember Me song near the end. It was beautifully animated, but this movie hit me so much harder.
Izzy Woods if I’m being honest it’s about the same level as cocoa.
JohnnyAngel That’s worse than your pet dying but I had a dog that I’ve had since I was a baby we had her since she was a newborn she died when I was 8 or 9 years old I can’t remember but she died of old age at the age of 10 but in dog years she was 40 her name was Setiva and I miss her to this day she was buried in my backyard
I know exactly that, only it was my dad back in '09.
Me too, my friends father had cancer and when i saw him like that i couldn't bear to look at him. Ever since I've just cried at the mere mention of his name because I felt like I'd abandoned him.
Imagine being friends with one of these people, going to their house, and the time you walk in is the time they summon the half father thing.

(spoiler comment)
"I didn't cry while watching this movie."
What were you asleep when the van died? They made me cry over a VAN! It wasn't sentient or anything it was just a cruddy van!
Same, all the symbolism all added up
They made sure you could see what Barley was thinking in that scene and I think that's what made it so sad
I cried during like the whole movie. This is actually my favorite 2020 movie
I Cried A Lot With That, The second an the third act of the movie I Was Crying like a cloud!!!
THE VAN!!! 😂😂😂😂
Guinevere.... 😔✊
The brother dynamic culminating in the checklist hit me hard. It was a very personal film for me, seeing as how I have two brothers. It won't be so personal for a lot of people, but it was for me.
My brother and I are as close you can be and we both loved it
Best part is that Barley was never once jealous that Ian is able to control magic and is very supportive of him
Felt like Barley should have been jealous but didn't have to take it out on his bro though.
Barley is a fighter class
It would have been only all too easy for Pixar to have made Barley envious of his younger bro. I praise the writers so much for not taking that path. But in all honesty if I were Barley and if I had a sibling that could do magic while I couldn’t no matter how hard I tried I would have been so jelly. Like how Petunia from Harry Potter was secretly jealous of Lily being a witch. Don’t get me wrong I’d still support the hell out of my sibling if I had one, but I’d still be like secretly jealous.
Barley can more than likely cast fist
"And my little brother has the magic giiift"
Saber's audio sounds like he's recording this from inside a giant bubble
Thought something was up with my phone
Same
Didn't he say in his last video that he's using his laptop mic or something?
oH MY GOD IS THAT THE REAL RICKRAPTOR
He's in the bubble to avoid the virus.
* When the movie has a stepfather is not evil and cares about his stepchildren *
Most Disney movies: Uh, does not compute
I always get so mad when movies portray all step-parents as horrible people. My parents are divorced, but both of them have SO's that I love. I'm glad that the trope is starting to die now that more people are having step-parents. Now all we need is for people to stop thinking that porn = reality.

Chris Pratt plays a character in a movie associated with Disney where his character was too scared to say goodbye to his parental figure.
I felt so bad because I heard that line and I was like how did this happen twice, did no one check this
OH SHOOT
How did I not catch this?
This is some specific typecasting XD
Barley is such a sweetheart. I just want to hug him.
Ian is a soft boi
UGH SAME
Careful when you hug him
I wish I had a personal support Barley.
Ian is hotter
i went to see onward, and it actually resonated with me well as i am a child who never met their mother (died when i was born), i'm a teenager and i have an anxiety disorder, so i could really relate to ian, maybe a little too much
We're almost one in the same on that. My dad died 8 months before I was born when a drunk driver hit him. I understand the anxiety.. I hope you heal and are able to find peace ❤️
Nice blog
Yeah same me too
My mom left my dad when I was a year old and to this day I've never met him. Recently though I have been able to call him every once in awhile.

The burning of the library of Alexandria is a good example of that
This was a really cute movie just came out at the worst possible time.
The sad part is that there are going to be kids in 16 years that had this experience because of Covid19.
Wut? why? During an outbreak is the best time for a movie to come out. Because of it, we can watch the movie for cheap in our own homes
Adam Carlson from your vows, yes it’s good but for the company who made it, it’s not good at all. It can’t be released in cinemas so many can’t watch it high means it won’t do as well as if it was released before the outbreak in the box office :/
@Noah Maldonado it's probably not doing well in box office, but it's probably making Disney big $$ for Disney+
@@ScripulousFingore6133 The original rental price was $20, that's way more expensive than one movie ticket, if two people wanted to watch it, it was probably cheaper as they probably would have bought concessions at the theater, if they didn't the rental was still probably more, if three people watched the rental, than it's saving money. The rental is $6 now which is cheaper though. Still, seeing stuff in theaters is more fun in my opinion.

I did cry when Barley started talking about seeing his dad hooked up to tubes and how he couldnt say goodbye because he was scared, I went through almost the exact same thing with my mom, but i was older.
I know exactly what you mean. Last time I saw my grandma alive was on Christmas a few years ago. She didn't even seem to know we were even there. She had this almost dead stare... She looked so weak.
(I'd like to personally say "fuck you" to all kinds of cancer)
I seriously don't understand the flack against this film, they say "it doesn't hold up to Pixar standards" and they didn't elaborate.
Honestly that was just adding insult to injury with the virus going on.
tba i'll elaborate on why i hated the movie. i said it before, but this is a different group of comments so its fine. Keep in mind this is just my opinion. I just want to elavberote on WHY I hated and not just say I HATED THIS MOVIE JUST BECAUSE
*I hated Barleys Character. GOOD GOD WAS HE ANNOYING!!!
* The Story Was weak, below what we expect from Pixar.
*Most of the movie was either boring or hair tearingly irritating
*The BEST Characters: The Mom and the mantacore get LESS Screentime because BARLEY was more important
* I really liked Ian but its said he let Barley WALK ALL OVER HIM. He should've had the chance to see his father but NOPE Barley stolen that chance
* I was disspointed it wasant the fairytale fantasy i THOUGHT i was gonna get from the premise. Its just Dungeon and Dragons the movie and it does not appeal to me
i can go on and on but i wont because i dont wanna bore you guys XD but yeah i was seriously disappointed.
i admire that people who had no father growing up look up to this but 1. I DO have a father so it doesn't really impact me 2. I have a little sister which is one of the reasons i relate to Frozen more (Frozen is SO MUCH BETTER) but the director has potential to do something great since he did a great job with Monsters Universety. I have faith he CAN DO SOMETHING GREAT. He just needs to get at it more. nobody's perfect with their first original film and practice makes perfect.
@@Evanedits191 Frozen is overrated tbh the story of onward is better than the story of frozen
I loved Barley because he broke the stereotypical big bro that's a jock and total bully role that's really overused and his character was endearing but that's just my opinion
The mother and the Manticore are just meh characters for me and if they got more screen time what exactly would they add to the story? How did you get "Barley was more important" from the fact that they got less screen time? Most of the time like about 80% of his screen time Barely was with Ian
Barley didn't walk all over Ian Barley wanted to take the "path of peril" or whatever he called it and Ian said no Barley respected that and went on the expressway instead showing that he listens to his brother and doesn't walk all over him if anything Ian's the one who walked all over Barely by refusing to do things his way in the first place even though he knew more about magic than Ian did
Barley didn't steal Ian's chance to see his father Ian realized that Barely needed to see him more than he did because Barley did for him all the things his dad would've done and Barely needed to say goodbye if Ian had went instead then it would've only left him feeling guilty about being the one to see their dad
sorry for the rant I just finished watching the movie like 30 mins ago :)
I hope this film gets released immediately after its theatrical run. It's not perfect, but it sure deserved better.
Well, to run in theaters the movie has to be released. I guess some unreleased movies run at movie festivals or in sneak previews though. But otherwise if a movie is in theaters, it's officially released ಠωಠ
Yeah its very unique. Or atleast more out of the box than this year/last year's films.
Sucks that this movie has to come out at the worst time possible.
You can actually rent/ purchase this movie on some sites like Amazon Movies!
Its available in VOD now and going to disney plus April 3rd I believe
It had bad timing when it comes to the theatrical release but I thought it was pretty good. The topic was relatable (especially for me) and I loved the animation. It was a good movie. Hoping they'll release it on Disney+ because of the current situation
They did the same thing with Frozen II as far as moving up the on-demand release, so why not?

Having watched it twice now, this movie really got to me in account of being an older sibling and wondering if I've done enough for my younger sibling to be a positive influence on their life. It was so satisfying to see a movie like this which explores the impact a positive and supportive sibling can have on someone.
Agreed, I'm an older sibling as well
This movie made me realize how my siblings see me. My parents are alive, we all live together. But when they’re working, I always check on my siblings and they always talk to me because they see how open I am with them. The ending just made me ugly cry. Loved this movie. And i hope my siblings understand the message once they’re older and see this again
My little sister showed me this movie and said to me that she cried with it because she relate to the way Ian understood what Barley did for him, the way I stayed with her, I think your siblings Will grow to understand that too :)
Humans remembering history isn’t always true. Until recently, modern humans did not know how the romans made concrete that could last thousands of years. It wasn’t until 2017 that the recipe was found. Tons of important knowledge from ancient times has been forgotten by modern humans. I could see if there was a low success rate, maybe due to a combination of an inherited aspect along with study and dedication, it could cause a species to reject that knowledge as only a handful would be potentially able to learn it. And if you’re in a feee society, you can’t make sine be a wizard if they don’t want to be even if they are the only person with the magical aptitude to be one.
it specially makes sense when you think about how they wanted to erase magic from their history. when conquistadors came to America, they burned and destroyed as many traces of the cultures as they could.
Whenever I look at the older brother, I see Jack Black for some reasons
Whenever I look at your profile pic, I see Gamzee for some reason
Sonarchy i thought i was the only one lol
I see Chris Pratt when he was still fat
Petition to get Jack Black as the older brother when the live action remake comes out in 15 years
Sonarchy yea probably bec of the van and music he’s playing. It’s very School of Rockish
As for the movie, I thought the premise made perfect sense. It can be used as a metaphor for how technology and modernity replaced a lot of traditional cultures and values, and rendering many areas of craftsmanship almost extinct. Like, when's the last time you saw a hand-made vehicle? Or the last time you needed to call up a blacksmith to make you some nails for your shed? I think that's at least part of the inspiration in the movie, that a lot of these things, while amazing and beautiful, were abandoned in favor of advancing technology, which could do a lot of the same jobs more cheaply and efficiently. Whether that's good or bad is up to anyone to decide, but those who had potential to be great craftsmen are nevertheless left with no one to craft for. People like Ian, who have potential to be wizards, have no one to do magic for, and he almost had no one to teach him.
Yeah, that's why I'm gonna be a horologist! Hand-made clocks for everyone!!
While I can agree on some things you said, all of your examples are just one method of production replacing another. I can understand losing some sense of magic that is just as easy or more reliable to do with technology--like healing being replaced with hospitals, or something like that, but what modern day replacement is their for walking on air, growing/shrinking things, or raising people from the dead?
Your comment sorta reminded me of how the knowledge and techniques of traditional animation are virtually lost today. Apparently, not a lot of animators know how to animate like that nowadays, and that naturally causes a lack of traditional animation teachers at art/animation schools.
And he knew the history behind it. Alot people celebrate Christmas or Halloween, but not many people know the history behind it. Alot of people like to celebrate things or represent where they're from, (California, or their City or even their Country) but don't know the history of the land or even their flag. Coco reminds me to know and celebrate family and home traditions. Onwards reminds me to know the history, to be grateful for what you have and have had. Alot of military personnel know the Birthday of the branch they serve, your more closer to it once you know the history, and that could be for whatever, military branch, animation, arts, traditions, home country, cultures and even Subcultures (Like Hip-hop, Rock, Goth, or even Emo).
I hate that you call it an original story when it's so obviously a cheap ripoff trying to ride Homeward's momentum
Stuker nvm I was about to ruin the joke
it is obviously trying to rip on fullmetal alchemist
But is there really such a thing as an original story?
Indeed how dare he. Homeward was a masterpiece
Onward wants to be Onward sooo bad
This fantasy setting of the world of Onward would make such a fun and interesting animated show. That said I hope Pixar decides to make an Onward T.V series sometime. Be awesome!
this is such a good idea... like literally they could totally expand the world and add other creatures such as orcs or something
That would be way better than the boss baby series
idk I feel like it would ruin it to add sequels or a spin off show

I watched onward in theatres. While the virus was going on. It was a school trip to this movie. And I cried my eyeballs out in the end. In my opinion this movie was really. REALLY good. Again it's my opinion, you can have other opinions about this movie, but this is MY opinion. I have two siblings, a older brother and a little sister. Watching this movie makes you realize how important your siblings are in your life. Even the differences, and flaws, your sibling/s have they are still your family. And the memories you have with them are one of the precious things you have. They will always be there for you, sure you might fight a lot. But still. This just gives you important messages about life.

Well that's terrible
as a Dungeons and dragons fan I loved this movie. there were points that I feel you didn't really touch on also there was a small line about hoping that there is enough magic in Ian to use the spell that line was in the note with the staff. to me that was a way to address (along with Barley not being able to use the staff) that not only do you need to understand magic buy you have to have it in you to use it in the first place.
Things that made me supper happy about this movie that you didn't touch on was the mother. She wasn't just a throw away side character as most mothers tend to be in coming of age type stories (like this kinda felt like to me) she rose up to help her boys and to save them. Her friendship with the mantacore was very organic and really a refreshing change of pace to see. In general the facial expressions and just over all body language of all the characters in the movie were so organic and so real. especially Barleys response to the rope coming untied. that hit me hard. sorry i got to rambling i just wanted to share my feelings on the movie too.

If you ask me, Onward is a real good movie that couldn't have had a worse release date.
And really bad advertising too, I think I only saw one ad for it before watching it.
It could be worse if they released it a week later that when they did.
@@pca1987 Honestly, if it was scheduled for release a week later, Disney probably would have seen the writing on the walls by that point and postponed its release at the last second.
@@TheToonyloon You're probably right, but the marketing was so attrocious that even at the first days they were making much less than expected. I think it was doomed anyway, but yeah, the virus is making it lose much more money.
Not to mention bad PR from Disney, they kept showing off with that “First LGBTQ character” act, which has been overdone at this point.
Like, the characters they mention are just secondary and serve no purpose to the main story, plus they only show up for a few seconds but the officer in Onward stayed for a while longer.
I don’t care what anyone says, I personally thought this was a good and very interesting movie. I mean, it wasn’t one of my most favorite Pixar movies, but I could relate to both Ian and Barley for so many reasons
I enjoyed the movie too :D
I 100% agree! Of course, it wasn't my favorite movie of all time, but I absolutely loved it and would definitely rewatch it!
I enjoyed this movie too
Oh so your a wizard too and you summoned half your dad?
I loved this movie so much and it's honestly my favorite pixar movie for sure. Honestly, what Saberspark said was true about you'll probably love it the more that you can relate. Which I can for sure. I've never related so much to a character before Ian. And my brother is legit just like Barley. The way they act is the way me and my older brother act with each other.
I do have a dad in my life but he's never what I wanted in a father. I've never been close to him. I hardly ever talk to him anymore and there's nothing we have in common. It used to alright when I was younger but ever since I've changed things with him changed. My coming out definitely didn't help either. So even though I physically have a father, he has never been there for me emotionally
I honestly love that all of the comments on the trailers are Fullmetal Alchemist references. That alone makes me wanna go see the movie.
I think it has to be the virus/pandemic thing going on. I mean, the trailer seems high quality (as per usual), the story is incredibly interesting and seems funny and who doesn't love fantasy settings? So I'm pretty sure it has to be the pandemic's fault because I doubt people would dislike this movie based on the trailer or that there's a lack of advertizing for it.
I for one am thrilled and love it already, so I'll watch it as soon as I have money!

Went to see this the moment I realized Corona might shut the theaters down. The cheesepuff scene made me ugly cry hard. It's like they reached into my brain and unearthed a traumatic memory to absolutely BREAK me half way through the movie. So glad we were the only ones in the theater.
I felt like this movie was made for me, I’m the youngest of two girls with a bit of an age gap. And we two sisters love D&D, anyways my older sister got to spend her first few years with our father but I never really got to meet him due to him dying after I turned 4. I’m also socially anxious and unsure of myself and my sister refuses to be afraid. So we both really connected to this film. So I sobbed throughout the whole ending. My mother is even a lot like the mother in the movie. Kinda cool if I dare say so myself.
I never thought I’d ever see myself grieve over a fictional van. This movie was an emotional rollercoaster.
The movie is actually pretty good. It's a shame it's not doing so well at the box office (damn you, coronavirus).
It was doing bad before corona.
Why dont you all admit it?? It was the ugly character design. Its not as attractive or interesting as other great pixar movie, thats why people dont bother to watch i
Well, it's China's fault for making bats part of their expansive frenzy of meats. If they wouldn't have such a large variety of animals to eat, then none of this would've happened.
Soooooo, this movie had me sobbing in the theater when Barley was describing his fourth memory of his dad. When I was 7 my dad died of ALS, and my last memory of my dad was almost identical to his description. I thought I was being real sneaky with my quite sobbing cause I was holding my breath but my fiancee still reached over and grabbed my hand. He later said he didn't know I was crying tell he grabbed my hand and leaned in so I was still sneaky he just knew I was easily triggered by that 🤣.
Once my car gets out of the shop, I'm gonna put an O on the "D" in it like Barley. I just thought that was so cool
Barley's memory of not being able to go in and see his dad for the last time hit me so hard. I lost my grandma in 2018 from pneumonia and other factors. She was a sweet lady who always cared for her kids and grandkids. Those last few days in the hospital were agonizing, especially since it looked like she was getting better and then suddenly took a turn for the worse. By the time I got to see her the last time, she was practically unresponsive. I saw my grandpa tightly clutching her hand and crying out about how much he loved her, and I broke and ran out of the room. Grandma died three hours later. I never got to say a proper goodbye. Even at the wake, I went up to see her once and the second I saw her peaceful face in the casket I broke again. Even writing this now I'm shaking through the tears, just as I did while watching that scene in the movie. Onward is one of my favorite movies ever now.
Two brothers trying to resurrect a dead parent with supernatural arts using a magic stone....
So it's Disney's version of Fullmetal Alchemists?
geardog24 That’s what I thought!
This was nearly my exact thought after watching the movie. It's a strong compliment to this movie that Ian and Barley reminded me of the Elric brothers.
HAHAHA
Bruh
*spittake*
At least we aren’t shoving up true pain up into Spark’s furry life.
wilden (their father) made the “bring me back to life” spell himself, that’s why it’s not a very popular spell that people still use
My dad passed away a few years back and there’s so much that was left unsaid. It really hit hard when Ian allowed Barley to have the last moments with their father, and I totally bawled my eyes out!
I honestly hope they rerelease the movie after the Corona situation has gotten better so more people can see it in theatres
It's probably going to disney plus so more people can watch it at home, this corona situation has cancelled everything I wanted do so far
@@hpep9159 But not everyone can afford Disney+.
Except I watched it in theaters
Define better...

So when they find a cure and/or it stops spreading
My brother and I got a whole IMAX theater to ourselves when we went to see this
Normally that would be lucky but considering why it was empty, it's sad.
@@cintronproductions9430 you see I was expecting at least 1 family to be there but unfortunately not the case
"I didn't cry when I watched this movie."
Meanwhile, I'm bawling my eyes out. Seriously, this movie was amazing. You make a good point with the magic, but I completely forgive that part and don't care much for that hiccup. I give this movie a 10/10, and it's now my 5th favorite Pixar movie.
it was so refreshing to see such a wonderful sibling dynamic in this movie! they could've easily made Barley an asshole and jealous of Ian's abilities but they didn't. Barley is genuinely happy for his brother the entire time. it reminds me of me and my sibling. it's nice to see a good sibling relationship on screen every once in a while, movie or tv show :)
I actually enjoyed the movie it was funny and heartfelt to me. My kids especially loved it.
I'm really really really nervous to watch this review because all the other youtube reviewers but one went hard on the movie and it's actually my favourite pixar movie to this date--- I loved it very much. Me and my sister went to see it together and related to the brothers so much and it touched me a lot. BUT OKAY EEK TIME TO WATCH THE VIDEO!!
Edit: I FINISHED THE VIDEO AND I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!! Thanks for not going too hard on it!!😊
I definitely get what your saying! I've only seen two reviews of Onward, but I can tell from thumbnails that a lot don't like this movie, even though I really enjoyed it! I've realized that you can't 100% trust the opinions of reviewers unless you know that you and the reviewer have similar tastes.
Me too, I watched it with my brother and we were really moved by it , we cried lol
I hear you. Why does so many people dislike Onward? It's very good. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it deserves far more credit that the one most reviwers in RUclips and many in IMDb give it.
Yeah its kinda strange how many people's complaints are that "its not as great as pixar's best". Like not only has Pixar not always been 100% perfect but judging a movie based on the best from the same studio seems bad. Saber at least acknowledged that its not as great as their best but still better than some of their more average films and still a good film
@@invaderpez12 This exactly bothers me so much. Pixar is cursed for making so many near masterpieces that when they make something more "basic", people are very harsh on it. I feel like Onward would be getting so much more praise if it was made by something like Sony or Illumination.
This movie had me crying for like two hours. GREAT movie.
Saber: go for the Rock!
Saber: picks the Rock's worse freaking photo
careful, saying the word "Corona" gets you demonitized
how bout covid-19?
are you serious!?
Yep saying the name of a deadly virus could get you demonize
RUclips changed the rules, apparently it was a hiccup on their end.
oOh NoOo
When you reviewed the knockoff before the actual movie.
*They barley advertised this movie. Didn’t even know it existed till it was already out.*
Was that a Barley joke?
I thought it was a fun & beautiful film. I also like how Pixar is putting out new concepts instead of just making sequels to their bigger films (which I don’t mind)
0:37 Oh no, he said the no-no word. RUclips GODS SPARE HIM, HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE HAS DONE!
Peter(Star Lord) and Peter's(Spiderman)Excellent Adventure
Onward Spoiler: When they resurrected the father fully at the end, but En still didn't get to meet his dad, but had to watch Barley talk to him. It made me mad, but it was so good
Am I the only one that thought Onward was an amazing movie? Especially with Guinevere’s sacrifice, like I thought that was clever. I thought the comedy was also good.
Same
Omg same
1:59 it’s lightfoot not lightspinner.
* Laughs in She-Ra *
That was, in fact, the joke, as he establishes not ten seconds later.
I thought it was amazing! I was bummed when I bought my ticket, expecting a full theatre because that was the preview I was given when picking my seat, and then saw it was only me and two other people. Where I live, everyone is cancelling plans due to the virus. Sports, school, everything... But this movie was a highlight. I had high expectations, and personally, I found the film exceeded all of them. I actually cried a few times, but then again the actual content of the story and the way the characters fit together was very close to my heart and very relatable. You're right that it depends on personal attachment when you go into a story like this. I'm already excited for it to be released so I can watch it again!
Honestly, this movie hit harder for me than Coco did. I have no idea why but Onward almost made me cry at that one part when Ian realized how Barley was almost like a father to him all along, and I never, EVER cry at movies. Coco was amazing and all, but Onward just made me more emotional and I personally liked it a lot more
saberspark: and we are getting soul in june
me:hahahahha june
*cries in December 25*
@@marcsebastians.acusar3431 *insert poor pirates's music*
I haven't even watched Onward, but I'm hopping they release it on Disney+ because I'm not able to go out and watch it in theaters. It looks really good, and I'm absolutely in love with the character designs! (especially their mom's character)
They did!!!
last time i was this early saberspark was still doing the "what the hell is " series
I literally related SO much to barley. being that older sibling and the fact that their relationship isnt built on the negitivity but support for each other. like you could tell they genuinely care for each other without the movie bluntly pointing it out and i love that
something I enjoyed about this movie was, in the end, I realized it had NO VILLAIN. Actualy... no antagonist at all. Sure there were obstacles, but rather something to antagonize the main characters, even those like officer Bronco didn't do much aside care for their own safety and the pixies were just a fun nuisance. Pixar managed to be original enough to tell an adventure with action and drama without relying on an antagonist.
When I want to go watch the movie in cinema : Onward
When I can't go watch the movie because of Covid-19 : Backward
You stay home and watch Homeward.
If there are any drive-ins near you, you could go there. There's less risk of exposure when you're in the car the whole time.
@@MaximizedAnimation There's no drive-in cinemas in my country.
Disney +
So basically it’s just a cross between “Bright” and “A Goofy Movie”?
And more heartfelt than either.
@@KeybladeMasterAndy A Goofy Movie was much more heartfelt than this tbh
KeybladeMasterAndy That doesn’t make it OK to steal ideas, something Pixar has a long and sad history of doing. In fact THAT’S what saberspark should do a video about: Pixar’s long history of plagiarism.
Sprinkle in some Fullmetal Alchemist, too
@@ryanswaynow Well, you know what they say about great artists...
This movie made me cry so hard how they lost their father. I love how they spoke to their father with the foot tapping, I saw so much emotions with one simple action despite nothing being said I loved it ;w;
7:27 jeez, I thought he was about to snap his brothers neck then
Contrary to what the majority thinks, I thought this movie was wonderful
Not on the levels of homeward of course
@@dizzee6089 I liked it because of the characters, the story, the fantasy elements and the overall Old World vs. New World theme in the movie.
Even in the real world, we've got people destroying ancient and historical landmarks for the sake of putting up "trendy" things in their place, like Starbucks or ANOTHER Amazon warehouse.
Worse, people might turn ancient castles into something to what the Manticore's Tavern was; when we first see it in the movie
sadlobster1 Same
The centaur lady was dummy thicc.
Also the mom was thicc.
Barley is also thicc.
...thats all.
yeah why barley look like a fucking snack-
Centaur lady?
Colt’s... a man- but I will agree with you on nearly everyone else
Are yall okay?
@@peemonkey6892
Barley look like a 4 for 4 combo meal.
@@OutlawKING111 We’re fine lmao, thank you for asking
I didn't think the magic was that confusing, I thought of it kinda like Harry Potter where you need to be a wizard, but then you also need to learn it. Also I don't think they completely forgot it, just not much people did it or were taught cause it was hard
The mere fact that some people went through the process of making a game based on historically-accurate magic information shows that people still knew about it, but it was seen as some ancient history thing that no longer had relevance. And about the back-to-life spell, we know their father wrote it specifically for this instance so it wasn't a normal spell people knew about.
this movie made me sob. literally the first scene where Ian was mourning his dads death made me cry, how barley was terrified for Ian when he lost the rope,
the point is, I sobbed for this entire movie. the animation made me cry, the story made me cry, the characters themself made me cry, ect.
This was legit the last movie I saw before my country went on lockdown.
I wanna see it, but the theaters are closed 😢 I’m just super happy I got to see the My Hero Academia movie twice before the theaters closed. (Oof, and had to click off here cuz of spoilers. I’ll be back, Saber!)
They arent closed if you break in
Basic summary:
Onward could've done better but it's not the worse
A few days ago i saw Onwards poster and said "Hey it's Homeward!" 🤦♀️
The last animated movie to get release in theaters this year.
True and false at the same time
Trolls 2 will release eventually this year probably. I think it's still slated for April but who knows.
@@bassplayertaylor6983 it just got announced that they'll release it but only for streaming at home.
So it's not going to be in theaters probably.
As someone who lost a parental figure at a young age, me and my brothers could relate to the entire plot of the film and thus we enjoyed it very much
"Do you learn magic?" "Are you born with it?" Two words: Dragon Prince.
Oh yes, saberspark needs to see this comment
I really like it. I like every main and side character, how the climax brought back so many elements (the mom and the manticore, every spell on the movie, the wand's splinter), the fact that Barley was like a father to Ian, and just how watching the movie and moments of their journey felt
