Dan Scanlon talked to THR about the unlikely origins of Onward, landing his dream cast and assembling a 'spell squad' for film
Pixar Animation Studios has introduced moviegoers to a host of fantasy worlds where seemingly anything is possible., the studio introduces another fantasy in the form of New Mushroomton, a colorful suburban alternate reality filled with magic spells and populated by elves, gnomes and trolls.
You came up with the story, which I know is very personal. Could you describe the genesis of the idea? In the case of Ian, we wanted someone who could be shy, who could be awkward in a fun way, but was also sensitive and sincere. He has this sincerity and drive that makes you root for him. But Tom is also really great at being awkward and goofing up his words and, charmingly, being uncomfortable. And then in the case of Chris, he is just this wild tornado of personality and energy.
The other writers and I, to be honest, weren’t the biggest fantasy fans when we started. But we have a lot of real, authentic fantasy fans at Pixar. So those people who were on our story team got together and they created their own language. They came up with something that had a real logic to it. You can always tell what spell is going to happen based on the root word, having a connection to what is actually taking place, and yet it has its own specific fantasy flair.
