A mere day or so ago, we got our first proper look at Pixar's next original film, Onward, via new images. The studio is following that with the film's initial teaser trailer, which debuted on TV in the States.

Onward is set in a sub­ur­ban fan­tasy world pop­u­lated by elves, trolls and sprites, where uni­corns trawl through garbage cans like candy-striped raccoons. It of­fers the premise that magic was real but has long since been for­got­ten and re­placed by mod­ern tech­nol­ogy, and finds two teenage broth­ers (voiced by Tom Holland and Chris Pratt) whose fa­ther died when they were too young to re­mem­ber him. They set out into this fantasy world to spend one last mag­i­cal day with him.

Monsters University director Dan Scanlon wrote and worked on this one, which also features Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the brothers' mother and Octavia Spencer as a character we've yet to properly meet.

While Pixar has Toy Story 4 out on 21 June, we'll have to wait until 6 March next year to see this one.
