Onward

Disney's moving, creative, entertaining, inspirational, family-oriented, funny, star-dotted (voiceovers by Octavia Spencer, John Ratzenberger, Tracey Ullman, Wilder Valderrama, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong, Grey Griffin, and Dave Foley), 102-minute, animated film in which a shy, lithe, 16-year-old elf (Tom Holland), who has low self-esteem and lacks self-confidence, goes on a wild adventure with his embarrassing, screw-up, free-spirited older brother (voiceover by Chris Pratt), who is magic spell savvy and a history buff, after his widowed mother (voiceover by Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who is dating a centaur cop (voiceover by Mel Rodriguez), gives her teenage sons a wizard staff along with a magical visitation spell bequeathed to them by their father (voiceover by Kyle Bornheimer) that would allow them to see him for 24 hours, but when only his legs appear, the frantic brothers search for the magical phoenix gemstone in order to resurrect their father's entire body, and while on the harrowing journey they find renewed confidence, love, and support for each other.
