PixarOnward was 6 years in the making, but for director MrDanScanlon, it’s been a lifetime. He gave us the lowdown on heartwarming new Pixar movie:
Inspired by his own relationship to his older brother and their connection with their father, who died when Scanlon was only a year old, the animation studio's latest story is a heartfelt quest between two elven brothers desperate to reconnect with their late dad. When Scanlon was a teenager, he heard his father's voice for the first time through an old cassette tape; it was a simple recording of a man saying"hello" and"goodbye.
MTV News: I felt connected to it in a way that I didn't anticipate. I think a lot of it has to do with the resolution of the film and seeing that particular moment through Ian's eyes. The realization that his brother has always been there for him was more powerful.
A lot of fantasy movies take place in times long ago and they're very, very serious. And so myself and the other artists just started laughing at the idea of, I'd like to believe that because we don't know a lot about that world, we will hopefully avoid tropes or mix that type of story with something new. That said, because we're making a comedy, we did want to highlight certain tropes and then adjust them. But as far as storytelling, we don't fall back to good versus evil or that kind of thing. This is a very personal coming-of-age story set in a fantasy world.
