Set in a suburban fantasy world, Disney and Pixar's "Onward" introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there. "The story is inspired by my own relationship with my brother and our connection with our dad who passed away when I was about a year old," says director Dan Scanlon. "He's always been a mystery to us. A family member sent us a tape recording of him saying just two words: 'hello' and 'goodbye.' Two words. But to my brother and me—it was magic.
"That was the jumping-off point," continues Scanlon. "We've all lost someone, and if we could spend one more day with them—what an exciting opportunity that would be. We knew that if we wanted to tell that story that we'd have to set the movie in a world where you could have that incredible opportunity."
