| A Wizard did it. |
Okay, lets talk Onward, by Pixar. I saw this on Sunday, and I really think it took a few days before I could talk about it. This movies is another original tale, and has one of the more often ignored modern fantasy settings. The trick to this modern fantasy setting is that unlike there being humans and a masquerade that needs to be maintained, there are no humans and this is a fantasy setting where technology evolved and supplanted magic. We will circle back to that in a bit. Ian and Barely Lightfoot have magically summoned the bottom half of their father back to life for twenty four hours. They go on a quest to find another magic gem they can use to finish the spell so they can talk to him before the spell ends.
