In this episode of PixMix, Patricia and Arun discuss about the fantasy comedy/coming of age animated Pixar film Onward. Many years ago, magic was practiced by many creatures. Nowadays, technology has taken over and magic was left obsolete. A young 16-year-old elf named Ian wants to learn more about his father who passed away before he was born. His mother gave him a gift that was left for him and his older brother Barley. It turned out that their father was a wizard and he left behind a magic staff and a spell that could resurrect him to life for one day. But the magic only brought back the lower half of his body. Ian and Barley journey to unknown lands to locate a gem that could bring the upper half of their father\'s body back. But what they don\'t realize is that it could be more difficult than they realize.  

When the film premiered in theaters, it only made over $100 million dollars worldwide making it the 3rd lowest grossing Pixar film next to The Good Dinosaur and A Bug\'s Life due to the coronavirus and the film being banned in multiple countries. It also received mixed to positive reviews from critics and viewers stating that it\'s a good film, but not as good as previous Pixar films. What do Patricia and Arun think? Listen and find out.
