Onward from Disney & Pixar: Free Activity Pack

I have been, or can be if you click on a link and make a purchase, compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

It has been a little while since I covered movies from Disney. It isn’t that I don’t love them. I just was occupied with other things.

I had our spring all mapped out. I wanted to hit that triple play of Disney movies (Call of the Wild, Onward and Mulan) once back in Mississippi. However, that isn’t happening.

What IS happening is that Disney is releasing Onward for digital download TODAY (3/20/20) They know people are looking for things to do with their families. Since movie theaters are currently out, streaming at home is in!

The Walt Disney Studios announced today that Disney and Pixar’s ONWARD will be available to buy digitally and on Movies Anywhere beginning today at 5:00pm PST/ 8:00pm EST and on Disney+ on April 3rd in the U.S.

With cinemas currently impacted by closures due to the global health crisis, Disney will offer the film ahead of schedule to purchase on digital platforms in the U.S. beginning today at 5:00pm PST /8:00pm EST for $19.99.

About Onward from Disney & Pixar Studios

Thank you to Walt Disney Studios & Pixar for the images to use in this post.

In ONWARD, teenage elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot (voices of Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) get an unexpected opportunity to spend one more day with their late dad, embarking on an extraordinary quest aboard Barley’s epic van Guinevere.

Like any good quest, their journey is filled with magic spells, cryptic maps, impossible obstacles and unimaginable discoveries.

But when the boys’ fearless mom Laurel (voice of Julia Louis-Dreyfus) realizes her sons are missing, she teams up with a part-lion, part-bat, part-scorpion, former warrior – aka The Manticore (voice of Octavia Spencer) – and heads off to find them.
