Well what can I say, but this was a very fun, exciting, and epic experience that also made me feel like joining on a quest to reconnect a family of elves. I had a great time watching this film and it really made me want to watch more of it till the end.

The plot takes place in a fictional fantasy world in which magic gets replaced with technology, and it's set in modern times in a suburban town run by elves, goblins and pixies. The main characters are two teenage elf brothers who are given a magical staff by their late father during the younger brother's sixteenth birthday. The two brothers find out that the staff can bring back their father for only 24 hours, but the magic crystal required for the spell is extremely rare and only the legs of their father was brought back to life. As a result the brothers go on a dangerous quest in their world to find one more crystal to complete the spell before their father fades away for good after twenty four hours. Along the way, the brothers encounter an intimidating yet well meaning manticore, a gang of pixie thugs and dangerous paths. Can the brothers find the last crystal before sunset the next day, or will it be too late to complete the spell before twenty four hours is over?

The film was a very original film from Pixar detailing what happens if a fantasy world uses the same modern technology over magic like we do in our world. The film was fast-paced, exciting and fun to watch. There was a lot of fun characters, the animation was beautiful and there was a lot of good detail about the modern fantasy world during the adventure. It also gave a good impression of what would happen if we live in a world like this and what teenage life would be like, growing up in a modern fantasy world run by elves, goblins and trolls. There was a lot of funny lines throughout the film, there were heartwarming scenes and the visual effects were dazzling.

To be fair there was one scene in which the older elf brother shrinks by mistake which I find pretty cliched. I also think this was not one of Pixar's strongest original flicks, as Pixar have been making original films that felt stronger, more surprising and more imaginative than Onward. But other than that, this film was a lot of fun and excitement and is very well worth watching.

This film was very similar to many Fantasy films and stories, such as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and fairy tales. It was also similar to other films that deal with losing a parent, in which many people might find a very serious subject to tackle. It was also one of Pixar's most original and creative films like nothing else they have released before.

I can very well recommend this film to fantasy fans, anyone who grows up learning about life experience and animation fans in general. I can also recommend this film to anyone who wants to watch something fast-paced, exciting and heartwarming at the same time, even though the film might contain some pretty emotional scenes both after the opening and before the ending to this film. I would also consider this flick a real treat to Disney and Pixar fans alike.

There are occasional insults such as "screw up", "lazy" and "weirdo". There was also "nut", "bonkers" and "beast". There are moments in the film when some of the characters say "what the ......", "son of a ......." and "dang".

When the elf brothers cast a spell to temporarily bring their father back, only the legs were shown. There was no blood and gore spilling out, although some people might be unsettled just seeing the legs of the father. A dragon made out of stone comes to life and threatens the whole town and the two main protagonists in general. Throughout the film we get a build up that the only way to stop the dragon is to stab it in the main core with a powerful sword and in the end the dragon does get killed by getting stabbed in the central core and dies. There was also a scene in which the brothers overcome many obstacles to reach their destinations, and among them, they encounter skeletons of killed passengers, booby traps and giant gelatinous cube that dissolve anyone to death when someone gets inside it. There was also a scene in which a character paralyses a pawnbroker.

There are some scenes in this film that can be emotional, such as the loss of a father from an illness in hospital. A dragon made out of stone threatens the town and the main characters in particular, although no-one except the dragon dies, along with the brother's father who died before the events of the film. A Gang of pixies chase, attack and threaten the heroes of the film, as well as some minor characters they also meet. There is a manticore (a mythical fire-breathing creature with the head of a lion, the tail of a scorpion, and the wings of a dragon) who snaps and burns down her restaurant. Overall the manticore as a character can be quite frightening for some. There was also some scenes before the climax, in which the brother heroes encounter dark passages full of skeletons, booby traps and a gelatinous cube that kills anyone who gets in it.

When the brothers cast a spell to bring their father back just for twenty four hours, only his legs are shown and that can be quite unsettling to some viewers. There can be yelling, accusations and arguments throughout this film. There was one scene in which a pawnbroker appears and her character design can be quite scary to some viewers. Throughout the film the scenes were very brightly coloured, there was threat and peril throughout this movie and realistic moments as well. I would like to point out that there was one scene in which the younger elf brother has to cast a spell to cross a bottomless pit without using a bridge, although the younger brother gets very scared at first and builds up his confidence when using the spell, this might make some people with autism really uneasy as this might make them imagine if they have to do the same thing and have sensory overload. Some people might also be affected to see a manticore "meet and greet" character get it's costume burnt and look scary, which can be very upsetting to some viewers. There is also the subject of losing a father that some viewers might find very upsetting. Some viewers might also feel uneasy seeing the elf brothers disguised as a centaur cop getting changed back to normal with every body part, and others might feel affected to see a stone dragon during the climax to have a face of a cute dragon mascot which some might be upset by. Some people might also feel upset to see the elf brother's van get destroyed during the adventure before the climax.

The dialogue of the film is quite complex, so anyone with autism may or may not have to be with their parents or guardians to watch the film and ask questions about the story so that they can understand the plot better. I would also like some viewers with autism to prepare themselves for some very serious issues in this movie such as the subject of losing a parent, the elf brothers going through threat and peril and some scenes that might make autistic viewers anxious about whether or not the brothers will succeed with their quest. Some people with autism might feel anxious to see as to whether or not the younger brother will ever get to talk to his late father and might be very dissapointed to find out that in the end, he never does and instead hears whatever his father said from his older brother.
