Pixar Animation Studios has revealed new details about its next original feature, titled Onward. It had previously been announced under the working title “The Untitled Pixar Film That Takes You to A Suburban Fantasy World.”
Directed by Dan Scanlon (Monsters University) and produced by Kori Rae, Onward is indeed set in a suburban fantasy world in which two teenage elf brothers embark on an extraordinary quest to “discover if there is still a little magic left out there.”
“At Pixar we try to create stories that come from some kind of personal truth,” Scanlon said in a press statement. “This film was inspired by my own relationship with my brother.”
