Onward Reviews
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
As a Pixar entry, it may be the first to explicitly grapple with not the trials of childhood, but the fraught onset of adulthood. By the time "Onward" has wrapped its journey, it will probably be the only movie with a manticore to make you cry.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
[Onward] feels frantically eager to please, until it tries to yank at your heartstrings in the by-now familiar formula of Pixar Animation.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
There's something here for everyone, even if the overall package isn't likely to go down as the next Disney/Pixar "classic."
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
It may not be as revolutionary as some of Pixar's past offerings - and in that sense, it offers a glimpse of the studio's likely future - but it still retains a spark of that old-time magic.

Sara Michelle Fetters
[It's] a pretty gosh darn imaginative place, and it's a safe bet kids of all shapes and sizes will look at it all in wide-eyed glee.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
Onward feels a bit more subdued than a typical Pixar affair, and while the movie wears its heart on its sleeve, it might not be quite as engaging for younger viewers.

The adventure and world building in Onward are utterly delightful with an especially effective balance of playfulness and depth.

A very sweet story, good but not great...kids will love it.

Bob Mondello
Even mid-level Pixar still casts a spell.

Leonard Maltin
Onwardmanages to find a balance between comedy and adventure that's eminently satisfying. The "magic" ingredient that drives this movie is sincerity.
NPR
Glen Weldon
A testament to the remarkable degree of emotional expressiveness that Pixar's character-animators can imbue into a story.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Only a true cynic could wholly resist Onward's deeper themes, but they come in the service of a movie that has to be classified in the mid-level tier of the Pixar file.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
It's enjoyable enough if you don't mind machine-made entertainment, but so desperate to please that it wears out its welcome long before the closing credits.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Pixar's most heartfelt story in years.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Onward is visually dazzling, which is no surprise given those involved. But the simplistic, cookie-cutter storyline, which verges on the video game-esque without really being as fun as a supercool video game, is a letdown.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The highlight of the film is the parallel heroic journey taken by the Manticore and Laurel, who deserve a movie of their own.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
I liked the movie all right. It's just that "all right" shouldn't be the goal here.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A slightly weird story, made tolerable by moments of humor and pathos.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
A fun romp supported by creative and clever world-building. Pratt's vocal performance and the character of Barley are a necessary element in keeping things buoyant enough to bounce through this story.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
That's the Pixar trademark, making the fantastical familiar, and "Onward" hits its marks while striking the right sentimental chords. It's a conquering journey.
