I’ve seen Onward. It was one of the films I had on my list before COVID hit and at last, I’ve finally gotten around to seeing it. Despite some issues, I did enjoy the film. It might not reach Pixar’s “peak standards,” but there was something about the characters and story that appealed to me. It goes into family dynamics and what it’s like to have a missing parent you know a lot about but can never be in contact with. Ian is a socially anxious high schooler, rarely the type to take any chances. I like that he backed out of inviting the four classmates to his birthday party more out of a lack of confidence and not because of any malice on their part (They were friendly and interested). Barley on the other hand, takes all the chances, sometimes too much, to make up for a mistake in his past. Their mother’s supportive and acknowledges their interest bust they both feel the absence of their deceased father, for different reasons.

That’s all for now. It’s nice to be up at a proper time for once. Hopefully I can keep it up. Fingers crossed. Until February’s end, see you!
