Today marks four years since the release of ONWARD, a wonderful Pixar film.
I discovered the film two years ago, and from the first time I saw it to this day, it continues to excite me. ONWARD, for me, is a work of art and I highly recommend it to everyone. It's one of my favorite films; emotional, fun, with wonderful effects and designs, and it's message is very profound.
I am so grateful to all the people behind ONWARD for creating it. And also because they gave us one of the BEST characters, Barley. I love that boy with all my heart.
Happy 4th anniversary, ONWARD.

Onward Scene Loungefly Ideas
Hey, y’all! So Saturday night I was once again thinking about how Onward should get a Loungefly collection started for its 5th Anniversary in 2025. What I did was find an overlaying photo app, so I was able to put together some ideas of what I hope would be created. Hope you like what you see, and remember to message me if you do.

Everything ✨Onward✨ in the 2022 Pixar Character Encyclopedia! 📖
Today, an updated version of the Pixar Character Encyclopedia has been released!
It includes all Pixar films up to Lightyear, which means...yes, Quest Masters!! Onward is featured in this 200-something page book!
I decided to purchase the e-book and see all the pages for myself (cause really, I could not resist!) and six characters from this beautiful, exciting, needs more attention masterpiece make the cut from pages 224 to 229—comprising of Ian, Barley, Laurel, Wilden, Colt, and The Manticore!
But that isn't all the Onward rep that's in this book...
See for yourself! 🔎
Some thoughts...
After seeing just Ian on the front cover of this book for weeks leading up to its release, I’m delightfully surprised and pleased that they included Barley on the inside front cover! and that both he AND Ian are on the table of contents page! thank you book for recognizing how important these bros are and how important they are to each other by putting them together! 😁
If you look carefully on the name borders of Ian and Barley's character pages, I think Guinevere makes a cameo! I wanna say those are her wheels...
Also LOVE the side borders! That has the concept art of the back cover of the Art of Onward book written all over it!
I really appreciate just how much they emphasize that Ian has discovered he has these strange, new magical powers within himself! Not only because it doesn't just happen to anyone (only those with the magic gift can do it), but because Ian didn't know he had them in the first place! of course this might just be me being bias on my love of the "magic that has been with a person all along is finally awakened" trope lol
also that's Barley's presence makes Ian more confident in himself! honestly SO TRUE!! and lol [his] face resembles his father's, a little on the nose but YES!!!!
I really treasure how they say Barley loves his family more than anything on his page! In fact, they pretty much say it twice! it's that important!
and that he doesn't care what anyone else thinks! Magic is what he believes in even if it seems like a waste of time and nothing worth spending time on to others...it's his belief in magic still existing in their world that saves the fountain from being torn down!
OMG "cast protects mysterious injury..." well, we all know it's from doing something Barley thought was a good idea, but even the book doesn't know what happened...but mysterious?...as in mysterious circumstances, perhaps? something way out of the oridinary? hmm...now that intrigues me... 👀
I love that they highlight Laurel missing having Wilden around, Colt may be her boyfriend, but she still cares for her sons' father!
Man, I didn't think her protein shake would be something I'd magnify on often, but I had no idea until I looked that it was chocolate flavored! guess chocolate can be be green in this world...
Oooooh, Wilden loved thinking about the old days and had a soft spot for adventure! I LOVE THAT A LOT! I don't think that's something that's thought about a lot...
Colt plans on becoming the fastest cop in town! not just fast, but the fastest! That is awesome!
Also interesting to know that he polishes his hooves...
The Manticores's tattoos aren't JUST tattoos! They're tattoos of some of her past adventures! NICE!

How do you think Onward handled the mom character? Did her relationship with her sons have anything in common with the one you and your sister you have with your mother?
I think they did a pretty good job! I love Laurel, she’s so cute. You can tell she loves her boys so much. My mom is a little bit more “tough love” than Laurel, but she’s similar to my mom in the sense that you can tell she has lost something dear. But instead of letting the grief consume her, she made the decision to focus her energy into her kids. That’s not an easy decision for a parent who has just lost their partner and is about to raise two young children on their own. That’s not an easy decision at all, so I’m grateful that my mom gave my sister and I such happy childhoods, much like Laurel did for Ian and Barley.
I especially loved the scene where she fights the dragon. I’m reading too much into this, but the way I saw it, she was attempting to shield her sons from the bad things in life, as if the dragon were a manifestation of death. Unfortunately, that’s not something she can fight off forever, and eventually the boys have to face it on their own, each in their own ways. Ian has to face the concept of death, the big bad monster with no real shape: the dragon. On the other hand, Barley has to face death in a more literal sense. He needs to speak to their dad. He needs closure. He needs to learn to let go. Death has always been a part of their lives, and I think Ian and Barley—more than most people their age—have a greater understanding of the reality of death.
Also, you didn’t ask this, but I want to mention Colt (I had to look up his name). I sooooo appreciate that they didn’t make him the villain or a bad guy. Yes, he tries to stop the boys at one point, but only because he’s seriously concerned that they’re going to get themselves hurt or in trouble. He’s not perfect, and he’s not their father, but he makes their mom happy, and he wants to be a part of their family. My stepdad is very similar. He was also introduced into my life at a later age, and like Colt, my stepdad has made a point to show that he is not jealous of my dad in any way. He knows that my dad will always have a place my family’s heart, and he respects that. I just really like that what they did with Colt’s character

Am I the only one that noticed this?
At some point in the film, during one of the first scenes where Barley picked up Ian while he got cereal; I noticed a To-Do list on the wall from the kitchen!
I managed to catch some things, but the rest is impossible to read since it was blurry.
But I got:
Barley:
Mom (something)
Find missing (something)
Find a job
Take out trash
Ian:
Chess club money
Bring mom (something) (time)pm
I didn't manage to catch everything, and Laurel's list was literally impossible to read. If any of you knows what it says, please let me know!
@itsme-star tagging you cuz it's pretty interesting

☾ ✦ ⋆*✩ ║▌║█║▌│║▌║▌█ AESTHETIC :
working out and a protein shake is a brilliant way to start your morning, if you do say so yourself. it pumps you up. giving kisses to your grown children before they can leave the house - they have to remember you love them, no matter what the day brings. losing him was the hardest thing that you ever had to do - you got through it, but at what cost? your ducks won't sit in a row no matter how much you try - is it better to let them go, and risk losing them, or keep them straight... and risk losing them anyway?

Just as she has for as long as she has had them, Laurel does most everything she does for her children. She came to the asteroid for them, found her own place when it became all too obvious that her kids were growing up and doing their own thing, and she took this job for them. The hard part about her job though is this: she is privy to all of the strangeness that the asteroid has to offer, and she is more uncomfortable by the minute.
